Position Summary

The Regional Sales Support Manager is a high-impact sales leadership role responsible for driving revenue growth, strengthening sales execution, developing leaders, and improving operational alignment across multiple service centers within an assigned region. Reporting to the Vice President of Sales, this position serves as a strategic partner to Regional Vice Presidents, General Managers, Sales Managers, Operations Leaders, Contact Center teams, and field personnel to identify performance gaps, implement improvement plans, and support sustainable business growth.

The position supports all major business lines, including HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), Water Treatment, Generators, Membership Programs, Service, Replacement, and Inside Sales while ensuring consistent execution of company sales processes and customer-first, whole-home solution selling.

Partner with regional and center leadership teams to develop action plans that improve revenue performance and sales effectiveness.
Support underperforming locations through performance assessments, coaching, leadership development, and follow-up support.
Drive adoption of customer-first selling, financing solutions, whole-home solutions, ACE execution, and margin protection strategies.
Promote consistent execution of company sales processes and operating standards across all centers.

Home Comfort Advisors & Sales Manager Development

Coach Home Comfort Advisors on customer-first selling, financing confidence, whole-home solutions, and value-based sales conversations.
Support new hire onboarding, field coaching, role-play exercises, and advisor ramp-up performance.
Develop Sales Managers through coaching, KPI management, accountability practices, ride-alongs, one-on-one coaching, and business reviews.
Identify and develop high-potential talent to strengthen the organization's leadership pipeline.

Operations Partnership & Center Support

Partner closely with Operations, Service, Installation, Dispatch, Customer Service, and Inside Sales teams to improve alignment and customer experience.
Identify operational barriers impacting revenue performance and customer outcomes.
Improve technician-generated opportunities, customer handoffs, lead management processes, and cross-functional collaboration.
Conduct center visits, business reviews, field observations, and performance assessments to identify opportunities for improvement and support execution of action plans.
Foster a one-team culture focused on accountability, customer satisfaction, and business growth.

Provide in-person support for underperforming centers, new initiatives, onboarding programs, and regional sales events.
