FAQs for the Sales Lead role

Some questions have been sent to us about this role, so we thought it might be handy to summarise our answers here:

• This is a new role. We have always been selling to shops, contributors, and individuals via our website. Now we are ready for someone to be solely in charge of Sales, filling the gaps, and showing us sales things that we never knew, building our reach…
• How do we see Sales as separate from Marketing? The person in the Sales Role has this as their strategic focus. You make use of Marketing, and you may come up with marketing campaigns, and use metrics that show the team the effects of the Marketing campaigns on Sales.
• You won't have a specific sales growth target. We do expect that the person in this role will, after 6 months getting to know the Cooperative and us, have a plan that demonstrates how we can encourage an increase in our sales.
• We want to sell more products so that we can make more money and give more away, and do more good, like planting native trees.
• In your cover letter, please focus on your sales experience and your knowledge of the digital systems that are needed to help with sales.
