Department
Sales
Exists when generating revenue requires dedicated effort beyond answering the phone and saying yes. Sales as a department means someone is actively pursuing new business — running estimates, presenting proposals, following up on leads, managing a pipeline, and closing deals. Before this department exists, the owner is doing sales between running jobs. It becomes real when the company can no longer grow without someone focused on selling full-time.
