The challenges of recruiting a Sales Manager for your growth
A sales team without a leader is like an engine without a pilot. Deals drag on, forecasts become unrealistic, and top performers leave due to lack of management. The cost? Months of a disorganized pipeline and turnover that costs you far more than the salary of a strong Sales Manager.
The Belgian market suffers from a chronic shortage of sales managers capable of combining operational leadership with strategic vision. Many know how to sell. Few know how to make others sell.
Our expert approach to Sales Manager recruitment
Archetype identifies Sales Managers who have already proven their ability to structure, motivate, and grow a sales team. Not theorists — hands-on managers.
Our behavioral assessment breaks down the competencies that make the difference: the ability to coach without micromanaging, to impose commercial momentum without crushing autonomy, to make decisions under pressure. We verify compatibility with your managerial culture. A Sales Manager who does not share your leadership vision will fragment your team instead of uniting it. 90% of profiles are rejected. You receive the top 3.
Profiles and sectors of intervention
Our Sales Manager recruitments cover demanding sectors:
• Industry: managers capable of leading field teams spread across multiple sites.
• Healthcare: sales managers experienced in regulated environments and medical stakeholders.
• Tech/SaaS: leaders who know how to scale a sales team in a hypergrowth context.
Start-up structuring its first sales force or mid-sized company reorganizing its commercial regions: our approach adapts to your context.
Sales Manager recruitment expertise across Belgium
From Brussels, we deploy our mandates across all of Belgium, with particular expertise in Antwerp and Charleroi.
Recruiting a Sales Manager for the Flemish market does not rely on the same networks as for Wallonia. Talent pools, compensation levels, and cultural expectations vary. Archetype understands these differences and leverages them to target the right profile, in the right place.
