Who is a Team Lead?

A Team Lead is the leader of a sales team who coordinates their actions and directly influences the company's profits.

In the future, as this employee already leads a team, they may become the head of the sales department, expanding their areas of responsibility. After such career growth, there may be several team leads in the company, who report directly to the head of the department.

Team Lead recruitment process in A-PLAY

1. One of the key steps at the start of the search is a carefully composed recruitment request, where you describe in detail the desired characteristics and requirements for the ideal candidate, as well as working conditions. Throughout the recruitment process, our recruiter strives to find a candidate that most closely matches this profile. We are always ready to assist with this, providing recommendations on job responsibilities, working conditions, requirements, and salary levels.

Benefits of hiring a Team Lead

1. Increased company profits: thanks to their skills, a good Team Lead can significantly impact the volume of sales of your product or service, directly influencing the company's revenue;
2. Task control within the department: such a specialist can effectively assign tasks to sales managers and monitor their execution and final results;
3. Streamlined workflows within the department: a Team Lead can optimize current sales department processes through continuous tracking of metrics and the work of managers (time in line, script adherence, etc.).

What do we focus on in our work?

We constantly pay attention to feedback from:

1. Previous employers: we always analyze feedback from the last two workplaces of a candidate we are considering for your company. If this feedback is ambiguous or negative, we do not recommend this candidate for your company.
2. Candidates who have passed through our funnel: we ask candidates to evaluate the recruiter's work after the interview. This allows us to optimize the process, making it as comfortable as possible for candidates and attracting the best specialists.
3. Our clients: for us, the most important things are our reputation and client satisfaction, as well as recommendations from clients to their business partners.

Team-Lead Tasks

1. Control task completion by the sales-department staff;
2. Optimize processes within the department;
3. Process incoming client requests. In some cases: work through a cold database, find and attract new potential clients;
4. Maintain relationships with current clients so they purchase more;
5. Identify clients’ needs and pain points;
6. Conduct negotiations and create a commercial offer;
7. Maintain the CRM and generate reports;
8. And most importantly — meet the sales plan, including personal targets.

Average salary of a Team Lead

1. When searching for a Team Lead in large cities, we consider that salary expectations may be higher;
2. The work format also plays a key role: at the moment, many prefer remote work, so they may be willing to consider offers with a lower salary level if they can work from home;
3. Another important factor is the company's niche: in some market sectors, Team Leads can earn up to 5 times more due to high average service checks. Having a client base and not needing cold calls can also impact salary levels;
4. Additionally, knowledge of foreign languages at a conversational level can open up more opportunities for a Team Lead and affect their income level.

In general, if we consider the average level, a new specialist in this position can expect 40,000–45,000 UAH (base + sales commission), while a strong specialist with over 3 years of experience can expect 70,000 UAH or more. Of course, these factors are just the foundation, and many other circumstances can lead to increased salary levels for a Team Lead.

The results of a Team Lead's work also depend on successful adaptation and integration into the team. Well-established processes, prepared scripts, and the support of the head of the sales department can quickly help a new employee achieve results and take their first steps, motivating them to strive for greater accomplishments.
