Lead the Team. Drive the Growth. Advance Your Career.

Are you an experienced commercial landscape sales leader who enjoys developing people, building winning sales strategies, and driving business growth?

BraveView has been retained by a well-established, rapidly growing commercial landscape company in the Atlanta market to recruit a Senior Sales Manager to lead its sales and account management organization.

This is an outstanding opportunity for an accomplished professional who understands the commercial landscape industry and is ready to make a significant impact on an established, growing business.

Our client has a strong customer base, experienced operations teams, and the infrastructure to support continued expansion. They are looking for a leader who can build on that foundation, develop a high-performing sales organization, and help drive the company's next phase of growth.

This is not simply a sales position. It's an opportunity to lead, influence strategy, develop talented professionals, and build a long-term career with a growing organization.

The Opportunity

As Senior Sales Manager, you will lead a team of Business Developers and Customer Relationship Managers responsible for acquiring new commercial maintenance accounts, retaining existing customers, and expanding enhancement and ancillary service revenue.

You will oversee the sales process across multiple operations, establishing clear performance expectations, developing your team, and implementing strategies that drive sustainable, profitable growth.

The ideal candidate combines proven commercial landscape sales experience with strong leadership abilities, business acumen, and a passion for developing people.

Key Responsibilities

Sales Leadership & Team Development

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of Business Developers and Account Managers.
• Establish sales goals, territory strategies, performance expectations, and accountability.
• Mentor sales professionals to improve prospecting, estimating, proposal development, negotiations, and closing.

• Establish consistent sales processes and accountability across the organization.
• Utilize CRM systems, estimating platforms, and reporting tools to improve sales effectiveness.
