What does a Fractional Sales Manager do?

A Fractional Sales Manager helps a business build a more consistent, accountable and effective sales function. They can bring structure to lead management, pipeline activity, follow-up, conversion, forecasting and sales team performance — while working directly with the people responsible for winning new business.
