Hire travel sales team leads in India
Hiring a team lead is a coaching decision. Ask for desk numbers and a live coaching demo on a recorded call, because personal closing skill does not predict leadership.
Why travel sales team leads are hard to hire
Most candidates are top consultants who have never run a desk, and the CV cannot tell you which are which.
What we screen for
- Desk level numbers
- A live coaching demo
- Quote review discipline
- Forecast accuracy history
What the travel sales team lead will own
- Allocate enquiries by fit and capacity
- Review quotes before they leave the desk
- Coach on recorded calls weekly
- Own the desk number and the forecast

Frequently asked questions
When do we pay?
Only when a candidate joins. There is no retainer and no fee for shortlists that do not convert.
What if the hire does not work out?
There is a replacement window on every placement, so a hire that drops off early is replaced rather than re-billed.
How fast can we see profiles?
Most mandates get a first screened shortlist within a few working days, because we recruit only inside travel and hold a live pool.
