Sales Director

A sales director is responsible for the results of an entire sales organization. You set the strategy for how the company reaches its targets, decide where to focus the team, and lead the managers who lead the salespeople. A typical week includes reviewing pipeline and forecasts, joining calls with large customers, coaching managers, working with marketing and finance on plans, and presenting results to executives. You spend a lot of time communicating, hiring, and solving problems that your team cannot solve alone.
