TL;DR
Trainual is looking to bring on a Sales Manager to help lead our exceptional sales team. This role will be at the forefront in hiring, leading, coaching, and managing a dynamic team of inbound sales reps. Our team is full of seasoned powerhouses (it’s not their first rodeo) who are extremely invested in our product and deeply rooted into our culture here at Trainual, so you shouldn’t be worried about them teaching you a thing or two. 😉
You will be helping orchestrate predictable revenue growth by building scalable inbound sales processes to help our reps convert inbound prospects into loyal, paid customers. Some may shy away from such a challenge, but not you - you can’t wait to keep reading and to click “apply”.
So, who are you? You’re not just an educator; you’re a hands-on leader—a doer who isn't afraid to roll up your sleeves and jump into any challenge to support your team. You actively participate in the execution. You lead by example and understand that success is achieved through a combination of strategic guidance and hands-on collaboration.

You have a keen eye and first hand experience on what works and you’re not afraid to refine strategies that can impact team operations, prospect communication, and ultimately convert more leads into paying customers. Tools and automation? Heck yes. Analyzing data to move quickly and optimize processes? Say less.
- Hands-On Collaboration and Execution: Lead by example? Practice what you preach? You get it. You’re truly part of the team and you’re willing to actively participate and jump into any challenge. Testing a new tool or script? You’re game to try and see what works for yourself. You’re down to help work through tough customer interactions, help close a deal, collaborate and problem solve – an overall extremely reliable resource for your team.
What you already know:
- Leadership experience: Previous experience in leading teams, managing performance, developing training resources, and fostering a positive team culture.
- Sales experience: As a successful sales leader, at some point you started as the sales rep, and experienced the ebbs and flows of wins and challenges yourself - an essential perspective.
- Evident communicative and problem-solving skills: Possess strong verbal and written communication skills to effectively communicate with team members, clients, and executive stakeholders. You thrive in fast-paced environments, adapt quickly, think critically, solve problems, and emanate confidence in your decision-making.
How success is measured:
- Team Performance: Achieve a noticeable improvement in team performance metrics. Indicators: Increase in lead conversion rates & overall MRR sold by team and increase productivity per team member.

What We Do
Trainual is the training manual for modern businesses. It's a simple and intuitive training and process management tool that makes it easy for growing teams to get everyone up to speed and on the same page, fast. The app was built to help business owners, team leaders, hiring and training managers centralize knowledge, organize processes and SOPs, automate training, and create learning systems for building more scalable or sellable businesses.
If your company or department is outgrowing what Google Docs, Dropbox, email, etc. can provide, and needs to have training and organizational content in a place that's fully searchable, easy to update, easy to assign, and easy to track, Trainual is a better way to organize how you do what you do. Because unlike those other systems, you can group your content by role in the organization, assign it to the right people, and track their progress so you always know that they're up to speed.
If you are looking for a tool that's more affordable and easier to implement than enterprise LMS, there's Trainual. You don't need an expensive LMS to empower your people to do their best work, and you need something better than a Google Doc to capture your company's tribal knowledge. Automate your onboarding, improve your training, and don't freak out if someone puts in their notice!
