• Monitor and inspect sales performance rigorously, holding salespeople accountable to the required level of sales activity, CRM accuracy, and client engagement to ensure business performance targets and operational standards are consistently achieved.
• Collaborate with the Regional Vice President (RVP) to establish clear individual and team performance targets aligned with STR’s strategic business goals; proactively monitor progress, and implement timely actions or personnel changes as needed to maintain high performance.
• Develop, mentor, and coach all team members through structured 1:1 performance conversations, ongoing feedback, and career development plans, ensuring continuous improvement and talent growth within the STR organization.
• Facilitate weekly team operating rhythms—including pipeline and performance reviews, skill coaching, and team stand-ups—to ensure alignment with STR’s sales targets and business objectives.
• Provide executive-level insights on regional performance, customer feedback, competitive trends, and emerging opportunities to help shape STR’s market position and drive product adoption.
• Champion STR and CoStar’s mission and values, consistently modeling and reinforcing a standard of excellence in hospitality data analytics throughout your region.
