'Director' Job Title

Hi everyone

I have been asked about the potential implications of giving someone the job title 'Sales Director' without actually making them a Company Director. The belief is that the job title will assist this person in gaining new business and add a level of seniority to external clients. 

Is anyone aware of whether this comes with any risks at all? Could it be assumed that the job title implies they are a Company Director and therefore have the same accountabilities? 

Thanks

  • We do this not sure of the implications specifically but we decided to use and internal and external job title. So the person internally would be a senior sales manager but the job card states sales director to help him get thought the door or businesses that are a little short sighted.
