1What this role really is

You'll be a key player in driving our commercial success, managing your own sales pipeline from start to finish. This isn't a C-suite role just yet; think of it as being the 'chief' owner of your own commercial outcomes and a significant contributor to our overall revenue. You'll work independently on deals, but with plenty of support and guidance from your manager.

2What you'd actually use

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Quota Attainment
Achieving your assigned quarterly and annual sales targets.
Target · 100%+ of quarterly quota (e.g., £250K/quarter)

Closed £260,000 in Q1 against a £250,000 target, hitting 104%.

Pipeline Generation
Creating new, qualified sales opportunities that meet our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP).
Target · 3x your quarterly quota in new pipeline created (e.g., £750K/quarter)

Identified and qualified £800,000 worth of new opportunities in Q2, exceeding the £750,000 target.

Conversion Rate (Opportunity to Close)
The percentage of qualified opportunities that you successfully turn into closed-won deals.
Target · 20% (industry benchmark, varies by product)

Out of 50 qualified opportunities in Q3, you closed 12 deals, giving a 24% conversion rate.

Average Deal Size
The typical revenue value of the deals you close.
Target · Consistent with or above team average (e.g., £20,000)

Your average deal size in Q4 was £22,000, slightly above the team's £20,000 average.

Sales Cycle Velocity
How quickly your deals move from initial contact to close.
Target · Within 10% of the team average (e.g., 60-70 days)

Your average sales cycle was 65 days in Q1, aligning well with the team's 68-day average.

CRM Hygiene & Data Accuracy
Keeping your CRM up-to-date with accurate deal stages, notes, and contact information.
  • Your Head of Sales can pull accurate pipeline reports from your CRM. No missing activity logs or outdated deal statuses. Sales Ops doesn't chase you for missing data. You're using the system as it's meant to be used.
Customer Satisfaction (Post-Sale)
Ensuring a smooth handover to Customer Success and that clients feel well-served during the sales process.
  • Positive feedback from Customer Success on client readiness. Few complaints from new clients about mismanaged expectations. Customers are happy to provide testimonials or references.
Collaborative Behaviour
Working effectively with internal teams like Marketing, Product, and Customer Success.
  • Marketing feels you give useful feedback on lead quality. Product team values your insights from client conversations. Customer Success has no issues onboarding your clients. You're seen as someone who helps, not hinders, other teams.
Learning & Development
Actively seeking feedback, applying coaching, and improving your sales skills.
  • You're asking for call reviews and genuinely acting on the feedback. You're completing recommended training modules. Your manager sees a measurable improvement in specific areas (e.g., objection handling, discovery calls).

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Hitting Targets & Earning Commission

You're checking your pipeline daily, calculating potential earnings, and actively strategising how to close that next deal. The thrill of seeing a deal move to 'closed-won' and knowing you've directly contributed to the company's growth (and your own bank balance) is a huge driver.

Spending extra time on a Friday afternoon to send out a crucial proposal, knowing it could be the difference between hitting your bonus or not.

Solving Customer Problems

You get a real kick out of connecting a client's pain point with our solution. You love the 'aha!' moment when they realise how much easier their life could be with our product. It's not just about the sale; it's about being a trusted advisor.

Receiving a thank you email from a new client saying how much your solution has already helped them streamline their operations.

Continuous Learning & Growth

You're always looking for ways to improve your sales craft. You'll read sales books, listen to podcasts, and actively seek feedback from your manager and peers. You're excited by new sales methodologies and eager to try them out.

Volunteering to role-play a difficult objection with your manager, then immediately applying the new technique on your next call.

What frustrates people
  • Dealing with prospects who ghost you after a great meeting.
  • Spending hours on a proposal only for the deal to go cold.
  • The CRM being a bit clunky, meaning you spend more time logging than selling.
  • Internal processes sometimes slowing down a deal that needs to move fast.
  • Missing your target by a whisker, despite putting in all the effort.
What this role does not give you
  • A predictable 9-to-5 routine – some days are long, some are intense.
  • A role where you're solely focused on strategy without any execution.
  • A job where you never have to ask for the business.
  • A quiet, solitary work environment – you'll be talking to people constantly.

6Who you work with

Your direct impact is on revenue generation and customer acquisition. You're responsible for hitting your individual sales quota, which directly contributes to the overall team and company targets. Get it right, and we grow; get it wrong, and we're all feeling the pressure. You also play a part in shaping our product by bringing back real-world customer feedback.

Inside the business
  • Head of Sales (your direct manager)
  • Sales Operations (for CRM, data, and process support)
  • Marketing Team (for lead generation and campaign feedback)
  • Product Team (for product feedback and understanding new features)
  • Customer Success (for smooth handovers and customer insights)
Outside the business
  • Prospective Clients (from SMB to mid-market)
  • Existing Customers (for expansion opportunities)
  • Partners (occasionally, for joint opportunities)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • A proven track record of hitting or exceeding sales targets in a quota-carrying role for 2-5 years.
  • Demonstrable experience managing a full sales cycle, from prospecting to close.
  • Solid understanding of common sales methodologies and frameworks (e.g., SPIN, Challenger, MEDDPICC).
  • Experience using a CRM system (ideally Salesforce) for pipeline management and reporting.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with a knack for building rapport quickly.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced CRM Reporting & Dashboards

Simply logging activities isn't enough. You'll need to pull your own insights, understand what's working (and what isn't) in your pipeline, and predict your own performance. This moves you from just using the CRM to actually getting value from it.

Custom Report Types · Dashboard Creation & Customisation · Formula Fields in Reports

  • This week: Learn how to create one custom report in Salesforce that you don't currently use.
  • This month: Build a personal dashboard in Salesforce that tracks your weekly activity and pipeline changes.
  • Month 2: Experiment with different chart types to visualise your data more effectively.
  • Month 3: Share a useful report or dashboard you've built with a peer or your manager.

Quick win: Create a simple report in Salesforce to see which of your emails have the highest open rates – it's a quick win for understanding engagement.

Basic Data Interpretation (BI Tools)

While you won't be building complex models, being able to confidently read and interpret data from tools like Tableau or Power BI is crucial. Your Head of Sales will be using these, and you'll need to understand the 'why' behind the numbers they present.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) · Trend Analysis · Filtering & Drilling Down

  • This week: Spend 30 minutes exploring an existing BI dashboard, playing with filters and understanding each chart.
  • This month: Ask your Head of Sales to walk you through their favourite dashboard and explain the metrics.
  • Month 2: Try to answer a specific question using a BI dashboard (e.g., 'Which product has the highest win rate in my territory?').
  • Month 3: Read an article or watch a short video on basic data visualisation principles.

Quick win: Next time your manager shares a dashboard, ask an intelligent question about a specific data point – it shows you're engaged.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly attending sales webinars and industry events to stay current on trends and best practices.
  • Reading sales books and listening to relevant podcasts (e.g., 'Salesman Podcast', 'The Sales Evangelist').
  • Seeking out mentorship from more senior sales professionals within the company.
  • Actively participating in internal sales training and role-playing sessions.
  • Taking online courses on advanced negotiation or presentation skills.

11Where this role leads

The long view:Your journey starts here, but where it goes is really up to you. We're committed to giving you the tools, training, and opportunities to grow, whether you want to lead teams, become a master of enterprise sales, or eventually sit in the C-suite. The sky's the limit, honestly.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Chief Commercial Officer is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

See how you learn, free. Eight questions, no sign-up. A directional taster; the diagnostic inside Zavmo goes deeper and keeps adapting.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, sales can be a grind. But what if you could cut down on the tedious bits and spend more time actually selling? AI isn't here to replace you; it's here to make you a more efficient, more effective Chief Commercial Officer.

We're building out an AI Productivity Hub specifically for our Sales team. It's packed with tools and ideas to help you automate the boring stuff, get smarter insights, and free up your time to focus on what you do best: building relationships and closing deals. Think of it as your personal sales assistant, powered by the latest tech.

CRM Note Automation

Imagine finishing a call and having a draft summary, key action points, and next steps already waiting for you in Salesforce. AI can listen to your calls (with consent, of course) and automatically populate your activity logs, saving you hours of post-call admin.

Smart Prospecting & Research

Stop sifting through LinkedIn for hours. AI tools can help you identify ideal customer profiles, find relevant contacts, and even draft personalised outreach messages based on their company news or recent activities. It's like having a dedicated research assistant.

Meeting Prep & Customisation

Heading into a big meeting? AI can quickly pull together a briefing on the client's company, recent news, and even suggest personalised talking points or potential objections. You'll walk in feeling far more prepared and confident, tailoring your pitch perfectly.

Automated Follow-up & Nurturing

Never let a lead go cold because you forgot to follow up. AI can help you craft intelligent, multi-touch follow-up sequences, send personalised nudges, and even suggest when it's the best time to reach out based on engagement data. It keeps your pipeline moving.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Chief Commercial Officer, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 3 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Chief Commercial Officer: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

A private tutor in the UK averages £35–40 an hour . Zavmo is £70/month.

15Where to go from here

Other roles at Level 3

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Sales

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you build as a Chief Commercial Officer (L2) are highly transferable. You could move into other sales leadership roles in different industries, transition into customer success management, or even move into sales operations or enablement roles, given your deep understanding of the sales process.

Not sure this is the right direction?
