1What this role really is

This isn't just about hitting your own numbers anymore; you're building the engine that drives a significant chunk of our international pipeline. You'll be leading the leaders, setting the strategic direction for a key region or product line within our global inside sales organisation. Think big picture, but also be ready to dive into the weeds when a team needs unsticking. It's about scaling our success across borders and making sure our telesales efforts are not just effective, but world-class (in a real, measurable way, not just marketing fluff).

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Salesforce Sales CloudStrategic

Governing the platform, making decisions on new integrations (e.g., with Marketo), defining data architecture, and working with RevOps on territory rules and lead routing logic. You're not just using it; you're shaping how we use it.

Outreach / SalesloftStrategic

Owning the vendor relationship, setting global best practices for engagement, and analysing platform data in tools like Tableau to inform C-level decisions on sales strategy. You're the expert on how we engage prospects at scale.

Gong / Chorus.aiStrategic

Using platform-wide analytics to identify market trends, competitor mentions, and product feedback, feeding this intelligence directly to Product and Marketing leadership. You're turning conversations into strategic insights.

LinkedIn Sales Navigator & ZoomInfo/LushaStrategic

Negotiating enterprise contracts, evaluating new data providers, and setting the strategy for data acquisition and management across the entire sales organisation. You're ensuring our teams have the best data to work with.

Aircall / RingCentralStrategic

Managing the global telephony infrastructure, ensuring compliance with regional regulations (e.g., GDPR, TCPA), and integrating the system with other core platforms like Salesforce. You're keeping our communication lines open and compliant.

Tableau / Power BIAdvanced

Collaborating with analysts to design and build executive-level dashboards tracking KPIs like pipeline velocity, CAC, and conversion rates by region. You'll present these findings to the board, so you need to understand the data inside out.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

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.

Pipeline Generated from Inside Sales
The total value of new sales opportunities (qualified and accepted by Account Executives) sourced by your teams.
Target · £5M+ per quarter for your region/segment

If your EMEA team generates £5.5M in new pipeline in Q1, that's a great start. If it's £3M, we'll be having some serious chats about strategy.

Team Quota Attainment
The percentage of your overall team's target for meetings booked or Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs) that they actually hit.
Target · 100%+ consistently across your managed teams

If your three Team Leads collectively hit 105% of their SQL target for the quarter, you're doing well. If one team is at 70% and dragging the average down, that's on you to fix.

Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) Ratio
How much it costs us to acquire a new customer through your inside sales efforts, relative to the revenue they bring in. Lower is better.
Target · <0.4 (meaning for every £1 spent, we generate £2.50+ in revenue)

If your team's CAC ratio is 0.35, it means your operations are efficient and profitable. If it's 0.6, we need to rethink our strategy or spend.

Market Penetration Growth
The year-over-year increase in revenue sourced specifically from the international markets or segments your teams cover.
Target · Increase EMEA-sourced revenue by 25% YoY

If your APAC teams contributed £10M to new business last year, and £12.5M this year, that's hitting the 25% growth target. This shows you're expanding our reach effectively.

Sales Cycle Length Reduction
The average time it takes for a deal sourced by your teams to close, from initial contact to signed contract.
Target · Reduce by 15% for inside-sourced deals over 12 months

If deals typically take 90 days, getting that down to 76 days means your teams are qualifying better and setting up AEs for faster closes. That's real money saved.

Team Engagement & Retention
How happy, motivated, and likely your team members (including your direct reports) are to stay with the company.
  • High scores in internal engagement surveys, low voluntary churn rate amongst your teams, positive feedback from skip-level 1-to-1s, and a generally positive buzz around your part of the organisation. People want to work for you, and they stick around.
Strategic Influence
Your ability to shape and contribute to the broader sales and go-to-market strategy for the company.
  • Being regularly consulted by senior leadership on market entry strategies, product launches, or sales process changes. Your ideas are actively considered and often adopted, showing you're seen as a strategic partner, not just an operational manager.
Coaching Effectiveness & Talent Development
How well you develop your direct reports (Team Leads/Senior Specialists) and, by extension, their teams.
  • Your direct reports consistently hitting their own targets, strong internal promotions from your teams, positive feedback from your reports on their growth and development, and a clear succession plan for key roles within your structure. You're building future leaders.
Process Optimisation & Innovation
Your knack for finding better, more efficient ways for your teams to operate and generate pipeline.
  • You're constantly proposing and implementing improvements to our sales playbooks, tech stack usage, or lead routing. These changes lead to measurable improvements in efficiency or output, not just 'busy work'. You're not afraid to challenge the status quo if it means better results.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Building and Scaling High-Performing Teams

You get a real buzz from seeing your direct reports grow into stronger leaders, and their teams consistently smashing targets. You love recruiting top talent and then watching them thrive under your guidance.

Spending an afternoon interviewing a promising Team Lead candidate, then crafting a development plan for an existing manager, feels like a productive day.

Strategic Impact and Business Growth

You're driven by seeing your strategic plans translate into tangible revenue growth and market expansion. You enjoy the challenge of figuring out 'how' we're going to hit that ambitious target.

Presenting a new market entry strategy to the SVP, backed by solid data and a clear execution plan, is deeply satisfying.

Solving Complex Organisational Challenges

You thrive on dissecting complex problems – like why one region is underperforming or how to integrate a new sales tool effectively – and then implementing solutions that genuinely move the needle.

Working with RevOps to re-design our lead routing process to improve conversion rates by 10% is your kind of project.

What frustrates people
  • Dealing with internal politics and getting different departments (like Marketing and Product) to agree on priorities for your teams.
  • The constant pressure of hitting targets, especially when market conditions are tough or the product isn't quite ready.
  • Managing underperformers or dealing with team conflicts, which can be emotionally draining and time-consuming.
  • The sheer volume of meetings and administrative tasks that come with managing a large team, often taking away from strategic thinking time.
  • Having to justify budget requests or new technology investments to senior leadership, even when you know they're essential.
What this role does not give you
  • The daily thrill of closing your own deals (you're leading others to do that).
  • A purely operational role with little strategic input.
  • A quiet, predictable work environment – it's often chaotic and demanding.
  • Freedom from accountability for significant financial outcomes.

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts our ability to generate qualified pipeline and ultimately, revenue, from new international markets. Get it right, and we're expanding our footprint and hitting growth targets. Get it wrong, and we're missing revenue, wasting marketing spend, and potentially losing market share to competitors. You're a critical lever for scaling our business, plain and simple. The challenge is balancing strategic planning with the day-to-day realities of managing diverse international teams and market complexities. The reward, though, is seeing your strategic vision come to life, building high-performing teams, and directly contributing to the company's bottom line.

Inside the business
  • SVP of Sales
  • Marketing Leadership (especially Demand Generation)
  • Product Management
  • Revenue Operations (RevOps)
  • Finance (for budget and forecasting)
  • Talent Acquisition
Outside the business
  • Key Vendor Partners (e.g., Salesforce, Outreach)
  • Industry Bodies (for best practice sharing)
  • Strategic Clients (occasionally, for feedback)

7What you need before you start

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

  • A proven track record of 5+ years in a senior sales leadership role, specifically managing other sales managers or team leads within an international telesales environment.
  • Demonstrable experience in owning and managing a significant P&L (e.g., £500K+) for a sales function or business unit.
  • Expertise in designing, implementing, and optimising sales methodologies and processes that have led to measurable revenue growth.
  • Strong experience with strategic planning and execution in a fast-growing, international sales context.
  • A deep understanding of modern sales tech stacks (CRM, Sales Engagement, Conversation Intelligence) and how to leverage them strategically.
  • Exceptional ability to recruit, develop, and retain high-performing sales talent across diverse cultures.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced CRM Governance & Optimisation

As our sales organisation scales, the CRM becomes the single source of truth. You'll need to understand not just how to use Salesforce, but how to govern its data, ensure its integrity, and continuously optimise it to support complex international sales processes.

Salesforce Data Model & Architecture · Process Automation (Flow, Apex) · Data Governance & Hygiene

  • This week: Schedule a deep dive with our RevOps team to understand our current Salesforce roadmap and pain points.
  • This month: Complete a Salesforce Admin certification (or refresh if you have one). This isn't for daily admin, but for strategic understanding.
  • Next quarter: Lead a project to clean up a specific area of CRM data that impacts your team's reporting or efficiency.
  • Ongoing: Stay updated on new Salesforce releases and features, particularly those impacting sales productivity and reporting.

Quick win: Review your team's current Salesforce dashboards. Are they actually giving you the insights you need? If not, work with RevOps to refine them.

Data Storytelling for Executive Decision-Making

You'll be presenting to the SVP and potentially the board. They don't want raw data; they want insights, implications, and clear recommendations. The ability to craft a compelling narrative from complex sales data is invaluable.

Visualisation Best Practices · Narrative Structure for Data Presentations · Audience-Centric Reporting

  • This month: Identify a recent sales report you presented. How could you have made the data tell a clearer story?
  • Next quarter: Take an online course on data visualisation or storytelling (e.g., from Tableau, LinkedIn Learning).
  • Month 3-6: Volunteer to present a key quarterly business review to the SVP, focusing specifically on your data narrative.
  • Ongoing: Seek feedback from senior leaders on your presentations. What resonated? What was unclear?

Quick win: Before your next presentation, write down the 'one big takeaway' you want your audience to remember. Then, build your entire presentation around reinforcing that message.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly attending industry conferences and webinars (e.g., Sales Enablement Summit, Dreamforce) to stay abreast of the latest trends and technologies in sales leadership.
  • Participating in sales leadership forums or peer groups to share best practices and learn from other senior sales professionals.
  • Engaging in continuous learning through books, online courses, and articles on topics like strategic planning, international business, and talent development.
  • Seeking out mentorship from senior leaders within or outside the organisation to gain different perspectives and guidance.

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: AI-Driven Sales Strategy & Orchestration

AI is rapidly moving beyond individual rep productivity to influence strategic decisions: territory optimisation, predictive analytics for pipeline health, and hyper-personalised outreach at scale. Leaders who can harness this will gain a massive competitive advantage.

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

The ten Future Fluencies

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 International Telesales Specialist 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.

  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.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, managing an international telesales operation is demanding. You're juggling strategy, coaching, reporting, and a mountain of admin. What if you could reclaim a significant chunk of your week and empower your teams to be even more effective? That's where AI comes in.

We're not talking about replacing people; we're talking about giving you and your teams superpowers. AI isn't just for individual reps anymore; it's a game-changer for sales leadership. Imagine having an intelligent assistant that helps you spot trends, coach more effectively, and automate the tedious stuff. That's the future we're building, and you'll be at the forefront of it.

AI-Powered Team Performance Insights

Forget sifting through endless spreadsheets. AI tools can analyse call recordings, CRM data, and activity logs to automatically identify coaching opportunities, predict which reps might be struggling, and highlight best practices across your teams. You'll get actionable insights in minutes, not hours, so you can spend more time actually coaching and less time digging for data.

Smarter Forecasting & Pipeline Health

AI can crunch historical data, market trends, and individual rep performance to give you far more accurate revenue forecasts. It can also spot potential pipeline risks much earlier – like deals stalling, or territories with insufficient coverage – giving you time to intervene strategically. This means fewer surprises at month-end and more predictable growth.

Strategic Communication & Reporting Drafts

Need to draft an executive summary for the SVP, an internal memo about a new process, or a presentation for a quarterly review? AI can generate high-quality first drafts in minutes, saving you hours of writing and editing. You provide the key points, and it handles the structure and language, freeing you up for higher-level thinking.

Process Optimisation & Automation

AI can analyse your existing sales processes to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and areas where automation could make a real difference. From optimising lead routing to automating routine follow-ups or data entry for your teams, AI helps you build a leaner, more effective sales machine. It's about working smarter, not just harder.

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 an International Telesales Specialist 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 an International Telesales Specialist 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.
