What each level must prove
Mid-level
Owns the processes that move deals and handoffs, and turns funnel data into dashboards and models the business uses.
You now design the process yourself: approval paths for discounts, handoffs between teams, dashboards for sales leadership. Compared with junior work, you decide how a process should run and prove with funnel data whether it helped.
Average score required: 65%
Deal Desk & Approvals
Why: Lets you set up CPQ rules and approval tiers so a non-standard discount is decided in hours at quarter end, instead of stalling a deal in email threads.
Handoff Process Design
Why: Lets you automate the SDR-to-AE and AE-to-CS handoffs with required context, so a closed-won customer does not reach onboarding having to repeat everything.
Funnel Analytics
Why: Lets you tell whether a drop in pipeline comes from a weak stage conversion or from slower velocity, using cohorts instead of a single blended conversion rate.
Revenue Dashboards
Why: Lets you build one executive view and self-service operational views, so managers stop asking you for ad hoc reports before every weekly pipeline review.
Territory Design & Assignment
Why: Lets you propose a territory split with balanced account potential and workload for a new rep, rather than carving by geography alone and leaving one rep with the best accounts.
Compensation Modeling & Analytics
Why: Lets you model payout curves against the attainment distribution to see whether a proposed plan overpays a few reps or leaves most of the team far below quota.
