Outside Sales Manager to lead, coach, and hold accountable a team of five outside territory sales representatives. This is a true player-coach role: roughly
60% of your time in the field (including several nights most weeks in a hotel) riding along with reps and visiting customers, and
40% in the office on planning, coaching, and reporting. If you'd rather run a sales team from behind a desk, this isn't the role, but if you'd rather be in the car, in the showroom, and in the deal alongside your people, keep reading.

- Dig into CRM and activity data to figure out what's working, what isn't, and why
- Partner with Inside Sales, Operations, and company leadership to keep the sales process sharp
- Report on performance, opportunities, and market conditions to senior leadership
What you bring- 3+ years leading, coaching, or managing an outside sales team, ideally in a B2B environment
- A track record of turning coaching into measurably better rep performance
- Comfort holding people accountable - directly, respectfully, consistently
- Strong data instincts: you can read a sales report and know what to do about it
- Willingness to travel extensively throughout the territory (60%), including overnight travel (several nights most weeks)
- Excel-literate, including comfort with VLOOKUP or similar formulas
- Comfortable using Claude or similar AI tools to sharpen ideas, communication, and analysis
- A valid driver's license and genuine enthusiasm for being on the road with your team
- Bonus points for experience in construction, building products, glass/glazing, shower enclosures, or manufacturing/distribution
