Team Roles

Team Roles are typically related to sales, account management or support functions. Similar to Groups, Team Roles have similar job and salary profiles. But other than Group Members, Team Roles are not hired at specific points in time. Hiring Team Roles depends on drivers (customers, units, sales teams, sales partners or revenues), e.g. the number of Sales teams, Sales Quotas to sign up new customers per month or simply revenues to manage.
