It is the end of a slow quarter in Metro Detroit. One person on your team is closing well, the others are coasting, and the quotes that went out last month are sitting untouched because nobody owns the follow-up.
A fractional sales manager runs the team the way you would if you had the hours. They review every open quote, hold a short weekly sales meeting, sit in on real conversations and coach each person on the step they keep missing.
Selling becomes something your team does on purpose. Follow-ups happen on schedule, new people ramp faster because there is a playbook, and you hear about the pipeline in a short weekly update instead of finding out at month end.
Tap the ones that sound like your week.
97% of Metro Detroit optometrists and eye care shops list no email, and the calls they miss go to the next listing. Answering every call and text is the cheapest growth there is.

A fractional sales manager leads your salespeople part time. They run the weekly meeting, review the pipeline, coach on real conversations and hold each person to clear goals. It is the job most owners know needs doing and never have time for.
A trainer teaches a method in a workshop and leaves. A sales manager stays, watches how the method holds up with real patients and coaches the gaps week after week. Training without management tends to fade within a couple of months.
Cost depends on how many people sell, whether they sell in the home, in the office or over the phone, and how much ride-along or call review you want. A team that needs a process built from scratch takes more time early on. We settle on one fixed monthly fee for your team size once we have talked.
Most unsold quotes are not lost, they are forgotten. A set follow-up schedule by phone, text and email, tracked in your CRM, brings back patients who meant to say yes and got busy. The manager's job is to make sure it happens every time, not just when someone remembers.
Look for someone who has carried a number and managed people who sell what you sell. Ask how they coach a struggling rep and how they would measure progress in the early months. They should be comfortable in your CRM and willing to sit in on real calls.
You know the product, but coaching happens only when you have a spare hour, which is rarely.
Good for a larger team, but a hard hire to get right and a big salary for a small group of reps.
A part-time sales manager who runs the meeting, coaches every week and keeps every open quote moving.
