• Implement consistent follow-up and accountability systems.
• Coach team members to close deals with confidence and professionalism.

• Work with Marketing to align campaigns/lead generation with sales targets.
• Recruit, onboard, and develop sales talent as the business scales.

• Proven experience leading a sales team (preferably in home improvement, property, design, or luxury services).
• Strong track record of achieving and exceeding sales targets.
• Excellent communication, coaching, and people management skills.
• Confidence in analysing numbers, spotting gaps, and fixing them.
• Ability to stay calm and professional under pressure.
• A mindset that sees accountability as freedom, not punishment.
