• Run weekly one-on-ones and pipeline “gold-digging” sessions—probing for stalled deals, untapped contacts, and next-step commitments.

• Pipeline Health & Forecast Discipline
• Champion best-practice CRM hygiene: clear next steps, accurate close dates, probability weighting, and multi-threaded contacts.
• Lead pipeline stand-ups; challenge reps to advance every deal or clear it from the funnel.
• Provide the CRO with confidence-rated forecasts and insight into deal risks or upside towards budgets and quotas.
• Deal Acceleration & Executive Support
• Jump into C-suite conversations for strategic or enterprise opportunities—modeling consultative selling and removing obstacles.
• Coach reps on structuring multi-brand, full-funnel programs that include interactive web builds, research sponsorships, SEM/SEO, events, and content marketing.
• Sales Process & Enablement
• Standardize discovery checklists, proposal templates, and mutual-action plans to shorten sales cycles.
• Deliver monthly training on emerging tools (intent data, ABM, AI personalization and outreach) and share competitive intel to keep the team ahead of market shifts.
• Culture & Performance Management
• Celebrate wins publicly, reinforce core selling behaviors, and cultivate a collaborative, high-accountability atmosphere.
• Set quarterly goals with each rep, track progress, and coach through performance gaps or roadblocks.
• Encourage knowledge-sharing across brands, fostering a “one-BNP” approach to large opportunities.

Minimum Qualifications

• 7–10 years of B2B media or MarTech sales experience, including 3+ years managing quota-carrying reps.
