Job Description

Commercial Sales Director provides strategic and hands-on leadership for RTC Communications’ business-to-business commercial sales organization, driving profitable revenue growth.

Responsibilities

Partner with executive leadership to set growth priorities, revenue targets, territory plans, market-segment strategies, product emphasis, and annual commercial sales plans.
Design and execute sales and business-development strategies, including prospecting, account development, partner engagement, vertical-market initiatives, events, campaigns, technical-sales support, and customer-retention programs.
Set annual unit, revenue, margin, and gross-profit goals by evaluating historical performance, market opportunity, customer demand, product economics, competitive conditions, and organizational capacity.
Define annual and periodic sales objectives, quotas, and performance expectations for regions, territories, products, and individual contributors; forecast volume and profitability for existing and new offerings.
Own commercial sales forecasting and deliver accurate, timely outlooks using pipeline quality, opportunity stage, buyer actions, conversion history, sales-cycle length, risk input, and representative judgment.
Manage the balance of sales volume, product mix, contract value, selling price, margin, and customer fit by monitoring market trends, economic indicators, competitive activity, supply and demand, and delivery capability.
Recommend and administer approved pricing strategies, discount practices, and deal-review processes based on cost, competition, customer value, demand, margin requirements, and delegated authority.
Identify and pursue new markets, customer segments, partnerships, products, and routes to market to support sustainable growth.
Attend and strategically leverage key business, community, industry, trade-show, and customer events to build relationships, generate leads, and strengthen RTC’s market presence.
Report sales performance, risks, opportunities, corrective actions, and recommendations to executive leadership on a regular basis.
Lead, coach, motivate, and hold commercial sales employees accountable while building a collaborative, ethical, customer-focused, high-performance culture.
Plan staffing needs and support recruiting, selection, onboarding, training, development, and retention of qualified sales personnel.
Set clear expectations, monitor activity and results, run regular one-on-one coaching, evaluate performance, recognize achievement, and address performance concerns in coordination with Human Resources.
Build team capability across prospecting, discovery, consultative selling, telecommunications solutions, business-value communication, proposal development, negotiation, account planning, forecasting, CRM use, and customer retention.
Coordinate sales training and sales-support programming with technical, product, marketing, operational, vendor, and external training resources.
Allocate territories, accounts, leads, opportunities, and sales resources fairly and strategically based on market potential, customer need, employee capability, and company priorities.
Drive disciplined follow-through, continuous learning, and consistent use of approved sales processes and tools.
Maintain executive-level relationships with key customer stakeholders across senior-management, operational, and technical levels.
Directly support strategic, complex, high-value, or escalated opportunities and accounts across small-business, mid-market, enterprise, public-sector, and community organizations.
Ensure the sales team can clearly communicate RTC’s value proposition, fiber and telecommunications technologies, commercial solutions, implementation process, service model, and relevant partnerships.
Develop executive-level account and opportunity plans covering customer priorities, stakeholders, decision criteria, competitive position, technical requirements, risks, timing, next actions, and growth opportunities.
Coordinate cross-territory and cross-functional pursuit of coordinated opportunities to deliver a consistent customer experience.
Identify and strategically resolve customer issues by engaging Sales, Account Management, Commercial Solutions, Network Operations, Customer Service, Finance, or technical support as appropriate.
Serve as an escalation point for significant customer concerns, ensuring clear ownership, communication, and resolution follow-through for issues impacting customers or partners.
Identify expansion, upsell, cross-sell, renewal, and retention opportunities that create genuine customer value.
Represent RTC Communications in customer meetings, presentations, negotiations, industry forums, and community events.
Lead or coordinate RFP/RFI/bid/quote/proposal identification, qualification, development, review, submission, and follow-up.
Establish bid/no-bid criteria and confirm opportunities align with technical capability, service area, capacity, margin requirements, risk tolerance, implementation resources, and strategic priorities.

Maintain standardized proposal content, customer references, case studies, pricing inputs, technical descriptions, compliance responses, and supporting sales materials.
Lead the basic and complex sales cycle: lead qualification, discovery, needs analysis, solution coordination, business case, proposal, objection handling, negotiation, close, contracting, and implementation handoff.
Ensure commitments, assumptions, special requirements, pricing approvals, timelines, and handoff details are documented accurately before implementation.
Work with internal teams to maintain service quality through sales, implementation, adoption, support, renewal, and expansion.
Continuously improve forecasting, territory planning, account planning, buyer-driven sales processes, lead management, opportunity governance, pipeline review, and sales-to-operations handoffs.

Create process documentation, dashboards, review rhythms, and operating expectations that support repeatable growth without unnecessary administrative burden.
Build and distribute actionable sales reports, dashboards, internal intelligence, and market insight for sales, marketing, operations, finance, and executive teams.
Analyze pipeline and lead data and report on demand generation, pipeline coverage, forecast and trends, activity, conversion, target accounts, market segmentation, sales-cycle age, product mix, win/loss results, revenue, and margin.
Use KPI tracking to maintain closed-loop alignment between marketing and sales across the lead and opportunity waterfall.
Evaluate individual and team performance across approved activity, pipeline, revenue, margin, retention, forecast accuracy, and related measures.
