1What this role really is

This isn't just about answering inbound calls; you'll be actively seeking out new business, nurturing leads, and closing deals entirely through digital channels. You're the person who takes a prospect from initial interest to a signed contract, all without ever shaking a hand in person. It's a full-cycle sales role, meaning you own the journey from start to finish for your assigned territory or segment. You'll be working independently most of the time, but with a clear support structure and regular check-ins. Think of it as running your own small business within a bigger one, with all the tools and backing you need.

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.

Individual Quota Attainment

The percentage of your assigned revenue target you achieve each quarter.

Target · 100%+ of your assigned £750K ARR quota

If your quarterly quota is £187,500 and you close £195,000, that's 104% attainment. Simple as that.

Pipeline Generated

The total value of new opportunities you create and move into the sales pipeline.

Target · 3.5x pipeline coverage of your quarterly quota

For a £187,500 quarterly quota, you'd want to generate at least £656,250 in new pipeline opportunities each quarter. This ensures you have enough deals in play to hit your number.

MQL to SQL Conversion Rate

The percentage of Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs) you accept that convert into Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs) and then into actual opportunities.

Target · 20% conversion rate from MQL to SQL

If Marketing sends you 100 MQLs in a month, you'd aim to convert 20 of those into genuine sales opportunities after your qualification process. This shows you're good at spotting the real potential.

Average Deal Size

The average revenue value of the deals you close.

Target · Maintain or increase average deal size by 5% quarter-on-quarter

If your average deal was £10K last quarter, you'd aim for £10,500 this quarter. It's about selling value, not just volume.

CRM Hygiene & Data Accuracy

How well you keep Salesforce updated with accurate deal stages, next steps, and contact information. This isn't just admin; it's crucial for forecasting.

Your manager can pull a report and see every opportunity has a clear 'next step' and 'close date'. Forecast calls are smooth because the data is reliable. No 'happy ears' deals sitting in late stages without real movement.

Sales Methodology Application

Your consistent and effective use of our chosen sales methodology (e.g., MEDDPICC) to qualify, progress, and close deals.

You can clearly articulate the customer's pain, the decision-making process, and your internal champion for each key deal. Your call recordings show you're asking the right questions and uncovering critical information, not just pitching.

Client Engagement & Relationship Building

Your ability to build rapport and trust with prospects and clients digitally, leading to productive conversations and repeat business.

Prospects respond to your outreach. You get positive feedback from clients during handover to Customer Success. You're seen as a trusted advisor, not just a salesperson. You're not just sending generic emails
you're personalising your approach.

Proactive Problem Solving

Identifying potential roadblocks in your sales cycle or with specific accounts and proactively seeking solutions or escalating appropriately.

You flag potential issues with a deal early, rather than waiting for it to go stale. You suggest improvements to our sales process based on your experiences. You don't just bring problems
you bring solutions or options.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy

Achieving Tangible Targets

You get a real buzz from seeing your pipeline grow, watching deals move through stages, and especially from hitting that 'closed-won' button in Salesforce. The quarterly quota isn't a burden; it's a challenge you're eager to conquer.

You'll be the one checking your dashboard first thing in the morning, tracking your progress against your monthly target, and planning your day around activities that directly contribute to hitting that number.

Building Digital Relationships

You enjoy the puzzle of connecting with people online, crafting messages that resonate, and building trust through virtual interactions. You find satisfaction in turning a cold prospect into a warm lead, and then into a happy customer, all through your digital efforts.

You'll spend time personalising your outreach, researching prospects on LinkedIn, and genuinely trying to understand their business before you even think about pitching. It's about connection, not just transaction.

Mastering Your Craft

You're always looking for ways to improve your sales technique, whether it's refining your pitch, optimising your email sequences, or getting better at handling objections. The idea of becoming a top performer through continuous learning really excites you.

You'll actively seek out feedback on your call recordings, experiment with different messaging, and stay up-to-date on the latest digital sales strategies. You see every interaction as a chance to get better.

What frustrates people

The CRM is a Lie: You'll still need to spend time making sure your opportunities are updated in Salesforce, even if you sometimes feel like it's just for the sake of it. In reality, it's crucial for our team's forecast.
Marketing 'Leads': Sometimes you'll get a batch of MQLs from Marketing that just aren't ready to buy, and you'll have to politely push back or qualify them out, which can feel like wasted effort.
The Forecast Inquisition: You'll have weekly check-ins where you need to defend every single deal in your pipeline. It's not personal, but it can feel intense, especially when things aren't going to plan.
Constant Digital Noise: Cutting through the sheer volume of emails and messages prospects receive is tough. You'll need to be creative and persistent to get their attention.

What this role does not give you

A purely strategic, non-quota carrying role – you're on the front lines, owning your number.
A role where every single piece of your work makes it to a 'closed-won' status – rejection is part of the game.
A job with minimal administrative tasks – CRM updates and pipeline hygiene are non-negotiable.
A slow-paced, predictable environment – sales cycles can be unpredictable, and urgency is common.

6Who you work with

You're directly responsible for generating a significant portion of our new business revenue. Your ability to consistently hit targets ensures we can invest in new products, expand our team, and achieve our overall growth ambitions. Get it right, and the company thrives; get it wrong, and we feel it directly in our bottom line. You're a key player in keeping the lights on and the engine running.

Inside the business

Marketing Team (for lead generation and campaign feedback)
Product Team (to understand features and provide market insights)
Sales Operations (for CRM support and process optimisation)
Customer Success (for smooth client onboarding and retention)

Outside the business

Prospective Clients (from small businesses to mid-market companies)
Existing Clients (for potential upsell/cross-sell opportunities)
Industry Partners (occasionally, for joint initiatives)

7What you need before you start

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

Proven track record of hitting or exceeding individual sales quotas in a prior role (ideally 2+ years).
Demonstrable experience managing a full sales cycle, from lead generation to close.
Familiarity with at least one major CRM system (e.g., Salesforce) and a sales engagement platform (e.g., Outreach).
Strong verbal and written communication skills, with a focus on digital interactions.
A genuine curiosity about our product/industry and a desire to learn and grow.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced CRM Automation & Reporting

You'll need to move beyond just logging calls. Understanding how to build custom reports, set up simple automation (like task creation based on deal stage), and ensure data integrity will make you far more efficient and valuable.

Custom report types in Salesforce · Basic Salesforce Flow/Process Builder · Dashboard customisation · Data validation rules

This week: Explore Salesforce Trailhead modules on custom reports and dashboards. Build one new report that helps you track a specific metric.
Next month: Identify one repetitive task you do in Salesforce and research if a simple Flow or Process Builder could automate it (don't implement without approval, but understand the concept).
Month 3: Work with Sales Operations to understand how they build their reports and what data points are most critical for leadership.
Month 4: Become the go-to person on your team for basic Salesforce reporting questions.

Quick win: Create a custom list view in Salesforce that shows you all opportunities with no 'next step' logged in the last 7 days. This helps you quickly identify deals that need attention.

Conversation Intelligence (Gong/Chorus) Optimisation

You're already using it for self-coaching, but the next step is to really dig into the analytics. This means understanding what makes a 'good' call, identifying patterns in your own performance, and even using it to inform your deal strategy.

Call scorecards and trackers · Topic analysis · Competitor mentions & market insights · Speaker talk-to-listen ratio

This month: Set a goal to review at least two of your own calls weekly in Gong/Chorus, focusing on a specific area for improvement (e.g., objection handling).
Next month: Work with your manager to create a personalised scorecard in Gong/Chorus that aligns with your development goals.
Month 3: Start using the 'trackers' feature to identify how often key messages or competitor names come up in your calls.
Month 4: Share a 'best practice' call snippet with your team and explain why it was effective, using Gong's features.

Quick win: After every discovery call, quickly review the recording in Gong/Chorus to ensure you captured all key pain points and next steps. It's a quick way to reinforce learning.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly engage with sales blogs, podcasts, and industry publications to stay current on digital sales trends and techniques.
Actively participate in internal sales training sessions and workshops, especially those focused on product knowledge or new sales plays.
Seek out mentorship from more senior sales professionals within the organisation.
Attend virtual industry conferences or webinars to expand your network and learn from external experts.
Practise your pitch and presentation skills regularly, using tools like Gong for self-review and peer feedback.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Hyper-Personalisation at Scale (AI-Driven)

Generic outreach is dead. Prospects expect highly relevant, personalised messages, but doing this manually for hundreds of leads is impossible. AI is the only way to achieve true personalisation at scale without burning out.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

11Where this role leads

The long view:Your career here isn't a fixed ladder; it's more like a climbing wall with many routes. We'll support you in finding the path that best suits your ambitions, whether that's leading people, becoming an unparalleled individual contributor, or even moving into a different area of the business like Sales Operations or Product Marketing. The key is continuous learning and a drive to excel.

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 Digital Sales Manager 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:

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.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, sales can be a grind. There's a lot of admin, research, and repetitive tasks that eat into your selling time. But what if you could offload some of that? We're not talking about replacing you, but giving you a powerful co-pilot. Our AI-powered tools are here to free you up to do what you do best: sell.

Imagine spending less time on CRM updates or digging for prospect info, and more time actually talking to potential clients. That's the promise of AI in digital sales. It's about making you more efficient, more effective, and ultimately, helping you hit your quota with less friction. We've built an AI Hub specifically for our sales team to make this a reality.

Automated Pipeline Hygiene

Our AI tools connect directly to Salesforce. They'll automatically flag deals that look stalled, remind you when an opportunity needs an update, and even spot inconsistencies between your deal stage and recent activity. This means less time chasing your own tail and more time selling.

Insight-Driven Coaching (Self-Serve)

You can use our conversation intelligence (Gong) AI to review your *own* sales calls. It'll automatically highlight key moments, identify how you're handling objections compared to successful calls, and even suggest areas for improvement. It's like having a personal coach on demand, without the awkwardness.

Pre-Call Intelligence Briefs

Before a big call, our AI agents can crawl the web, news, and company filings to generate a quick, one-page brief on your target account. You'll get recent business triggers, executive changes, and potential pain points, all summarised for you. No more endless Google searches before a meeting.

Smart Follow-up & Summaries

After a sales call, our AI meeting assistants will automatically record, transcribe, and summarise the conversation. Even better, they'll identify action items and draft a follow-up email for you. All you need to do is review, personalise a little, and hit send. Think of the time saved on note-taking!

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 Digital Sales Manager, 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 6 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 Digital Sales Manager: 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'll gain here are highly transferable across various industries, especially within the B2B SaaS space. Digital sales expertise is in high demand, meaning you could move into different product categories, company sizes, or even different geographies if you wished. Your ability to sell remotely and effectively use sales tech makes you a valuable asset anywhere.

Not sure this is the right direction?

Work out what you actually want from work first, then come back and see which roles fit it. Takes about ten minutes.

You're not behind. You're right on time. The shift is only just beginning. Your role won't look the same in two years. Be the one who leads the change, not the one it happens to. Build my plan, free Here's the first ten minutes: a 2-minute confidence check → your personalised roadmap → meet the tutors matched to you. No card, cancel any time. No card. Build your plan, see your roadmap and meet the twelve tutors matched to you. All free. When you're ready to start learning, it's £70 a month, billed monthly. Cancel any time and billing stops.
