Sales Team Leader

A Sales Team Leader is a middle-management professional responsible for overseeing a team of sales representatives to ensure they meet and exceed individual and collective sales targets. Unlike higher-level sales managers who focus on long-term strategy and budgeting, team leaders are often "on the floor," providing hands-on support, daily guidance, and real-time coaching. APACSMA +4
