Phone Sales Manager, Mallory Portraits | Portsmouth, NH Full-Time $70k base, OTE$100,000

Mallory Portraits has been creating heirloom portraits for New England families for 15 years. We photograph families and pets with the same level of artistry, and every portrait we deliver is meant to outlive the people in it. Our studio donates more than 2,000 portraits a year to community fundraisers. We believe in the work.

Our booking department runs on a steady flow of warm leads and a one-call close model. We're growing, and we need a Booking Manager who has been in that closer seat, knows exactly what it takes to perform at 80%+ booking rates, and is ready to make other people that good.

This is not a step into management from customer service. This is a sales closer who is ready to lead.

You lead a team of 4+/- reservation specialists who convert warm leads into booked portrait sessions, collecting a deposit on every call. This is a sales department, not customer service. The team's job is to book the appointment and secure the deposit on the first call, every time.

As Booking Manager, you are a working manager. At the current team size, you are on the phones for a portion of your day and coaching around the edges. As the team grows, your time inverts: coaching becomes the majority of the job, and phone time is what you do once your people are handled. You will have a hand in implementing marketing campaigns plus complete ownership of the CRM (you are exceptionally tech savvy), Slack for the company, and maintaining the sales AI employee documents in Claude. 

40% of your week is making followup calls to clients, 30% is recruitment, 20% is training and meetings, 10% is CRM management and reporting.

You will run daily mini-huddles via Google Meet, hold weekly 1:1 scorecards with each specialist, conduct call reviews, manage scheduling, handle escalations, analyze call center data, and report results to ownership daily, weekly, and monthly. You will also hire and train new reservation specialists as needed.

A closer first. You have held quotas, hit them, and can describe your performance in numbers: booking rate, show rate, calls per hour, conversion rate. You have coached someone from struggling to strong and can walk through exactly what you did, step by step. You do not wait to be told what to do. When your team's numbers slip, you listen to the calls before you look for another explanation.

You are warm on the phone and direct in a coaching conversation. You can hold a hard standard with someone you like. You give feedback on the single highest-leverage fix, not everything at once. You believe that skill is built through reps and feedback, not talent and motivation.

You understand the northeast USA mentality. You get that the families we work with are busy, skeptical, and worth every ounce of effort it takes to get them through the door.
