ROLE PURPOSE (WHY THIS JOB EXISTS)
To build and run a predictable revenue engine by aligning three moving parts:
- Attention & trust (brand output + proof)
- Lead flow & conversion (paid + funnels + automation into Zoho)
- Closing (outbound execution + deal strategy + follow-up discipline)
This role exists to remove chaos and replace it with weekly throughput.
90-DAY MISSION (DEFINITION OF DONE)
By Day 90, this team lead has built a machine where:
- Social output is consistent: 10 posts/day shipped with proof-first quality
- Demand gen is stable: 1 qualified lead/day arriving in Zoho with correct attribution
- Closers are executing a daily rhythm (calls, meetings, proposals, closes)
- Weekly revenue scoreboard is running and improving
- Team is on track to hit R150k GP MRR/quarter and sustain it

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES (WHAT YOU DO WEEK-TO-WEEK)
Weekly Growth & Revenue Meeting (non-negotiable cadence)
Run a single weekly meeting that covers:
- Scoreboard review (targets vs actuals)
- Bottleneck diagnosis (one biggest constraint)
- Focus for the week (one theme)
- Commitments by role (Trust, Pipeline, Closers)
- Follow-up actions with owners and deadlines
Scoreboards and targets (you own the numbers)
You maintain one consolidated scoreboard with these minimum metrics:
Brand / Trust (daily/weekly)
- 10 posts/day shipped (% compliance)
- Proof assets created/week (target 10–15)
- Proof backlog count (target 30+ ready)
- Newsletter shipped (monthly on time)
Demand Gen / Ops (weekly)
- Qualified leads/week (target ≥ 5; ramp to ≥ 1/day)
- CPL (qualified), booked calls, show rate
- Funnel conversion rate
- GHL→Zoho sync success (≥99%)
- Attribution completeness (≥95%)
Sales Execution (weekly)
- Calls made
- Decision-maker conversations
- Meetings booked / held
- Proposals sent
- New GP MRR closed (weekly + month-to-date)
- Pipeline coverage ratio (target 3–5× quarterly target)
Pipeline integrity (Zoho discipline)
- Define and enforce exit criteria per stage
- Ensure next steps are scheduled and logged
- No “dead” deals sitting without action
Conversion improvement loop
- Every week: pick the single biggest leak and fix it:
Coaching and enablement
- Weekly call review: 3 cold calls + 2 discovery calls reviewed with closers
- Provide feedback on messaging, tone, and control
- Ensure closers follow the follow-up system (where revenue lives)
