Set clear expectations for outreach volume, tours, conversions, and follow-up discipline. Own the sales training process, onboarding, and ongoing development of the membership team, not just day-to-day supervision. Establish and document sales best practices, scripts, tour standards, and objection handling to best support the team’s efforts. Conduct regular one-on-ones, pipeline reviews, and performance check-ins. Sales Operations, CRM & Systems Building Build, refine, and manage sales systems, workflows, and processes to ensure scalability and consistency. Enforce CRM accuracy, data hygiene, and documentation standards. Ensure no prospect stalls due to lack of follow-up or unclear next steps. Oversee tour scheduling, execution, documentation, and post-tour follow-up. Track and analyze conversion metrics, including tour-to-application and application-to-close rates. Retention, Renewals & Member Lifecycle Support Play an active role in retention strategy in partnership with Membership, Programming, and Operations teams. Brainstorm, ideate and contribute to the building out of that strategy. Ensure programming, events, and member touchpoints support renewals, referrals, and long-term engagement.

Member Experience & Brand Stewardship Serve as a senior ambassador of the Gravitas brand, culture, and community. Support elevated member and guest experiences during tours, events, and high-traffic periods. Handle objections, negotiations, and sensitive conversations with discretion and professionalism, always ensuring a positive outcome for both parties.
