Director

Fractional sales director

Most companies below a certain size can't justify a full-time sales director, so nobody runs sales. It's the founder's third job. A fractional sales director makes it someone's first.

On our accounts that's Matt Cooper: more than ten years building B2B commercial sales teams, running the floor, training every rep, and working the largest deals directly.
