TL;DR
For execution and reliability, look for evidence the candidate names systems they administered, quotes cadence of forecast and pipeline reporting, and shows data hygiene work that survived quarter-end scrutiny. For improving the process, look for evidence the candidate describes a rebuilt funnel stage model or routing overhaul with before and after numbers on conversion, cycle time, or CRM data completeness. Apply the written 1–5 anchors to every answer, record the evidence behind each rating, and use the factor weights to reach a consistent overall assessment.

What to assess and how to score it

Review the evidence signals before interviewing. Then use the anchored descriptions—not instinct alone—to choose the score that best matches each answer.

01
Evaluation factor

Execution and reliability

35% weight

Check hands-on ownership of the revenue stack: Salesforce or HubSpot admin, lead routing rules, CPQ, Outreach, and closing monthly pipeline and quota attainment reporting on deadline.

Evidence to listen for

  • Describes a workload they owned and how they kept it from slipping
  • Names the tools and systems they ran day to day
  • Can talk about volume: tickets, inboxes, orders, uptime
  • Nothing quietly falls through when they are busy

Five-point scoring guide

1
Poor

Cannot describe their own workload; things slip without them noticing.

2
Needs Improvement

Handles routine volume; drops work under pressure.

3
Satisfactory

Reliable on steady-state work; struggles when volume spikes.

4
Very Good

Consistently reliable at real volume with a system for staying on top.

5
Excellent

Names systems they administered, quotes cadence of forecast and pipeline reporting, and shows data hygiene work that survived quarter-end scrutiny.

02
Evaluation factor

Improving the process

25% weight

Probe process redesign: territory and lead assignment logic, deduplication rules, stage exit criteria, lifecycle definitions, and quantified gains in speed-to-lead or forecast accuracy.

Evidence to listen for

  • Has changed a process rather than only following one
  • Can name what was slow or error-prone and what they did about it
  • Documents so the improvement survives them
  • Knows when a process is worth automating and when it is not

Five-point scoring guide

1
Poor

Follows instructions only; no sense that process can change.

2
Needs Improvement

Notices problems but escalates rather than solving.

3
Satisfactory

Makes small improvements; impact is local and undocumented.

4
Very Good

Has redesigned a real process with measurable effect.

5
Excellent

Describes a rebuilt funnel stage model or routing overhaul with before and after numbers on conversion, cycle time, or CRM data completeness.

03
Evaluation factor

Judgement and autonomy

25% weight

Assess how they handle conflicting requests from sales, marketing, and finance: attribution disputes, commission disagreements, dirty pipeline, and deals reported differently across teams.

Evidence to listen for

  • Knows what to decide alone and what to escalate
  • Handles an exception without freezing or improvising recklessly
  • Protects confidentiality and access appropriately
  • Asks a clarifying question rather than guessing on something costly

Five-point scoring guide

1
Poor

Either escalates everything or acts recklessly on their own.

2
Needs Improvement

Needs frequent direction; uneasy with exceptions.

3
Satisfactory

Sound judgement on familiar decisions.

4
Very Good

Clear sense of their own authority; handles exceptions well.

5
Excellent

Decides using a single source of truth, documents the rule they applied, and escalates only genuine policy conflicts rather than routine data disputes.

04
Evaluation factor

Communication

15% weight

Look for evidence of translating dashboards into decisions: QBR narratives, enablement docs for new CRM fields, and pushback on reps who bypass process.

Evidence to listen for

  • Writes clearly enough that people act without a follow-up
  • Manages expectations before a deadline slips, not after
  • Handles a frustrated colleague or customer calmly
  • Works across time zones or async where the role needs it

Five-point scoring guide

1
Poor

Unclear written communication; goes quiet when things slip.

2
Needs Improvement

Communication needs chasing; raises problems late.

3
Satisfactory

Clear enough day to day; proactive updates are inconsistent.

4
Very Good

Clear, proactive, and calm under pressure.

5
Excellent

Explains funnel numbers plainly to reps and executives alike, and shows written runbooks or field guides others actually adopted.
