leads contacted, bookings converted

Reporting and cross-functional
- Weekly report to founder every Monday - lead volume, conversion rate by city and channel, lost lead breakdown, pipeline health, team performance
- Flag lead quality drops within 24 hours - if a campaign suddenly brings wrong-geo or price-sensitive leads, the founder and agency need to know the same day

- Work with ops team on slot availability - if slots are the constraint, escalate before it becomes a lost lead reason The Profile We're Looking For Background

- WhatsApp as a sales channel - understands the difference between a message that creates urgency and one that gets ignored
- Call coaching - can listen to a 3-minute sales call and give specific, actionable feedback in 2 minutes
- Urgency creation - knows how to use slot scarcity, social proof, and seasonal triggers to move a warm lead to a booking without being pushy
