Sales Leadership for Growth Companies

Your company is leaving 40% of its revenue on the table. We fix that.

We've delivered 50–200% revenue increases for companies like Polygence, Empowerly, and Springboard — by rebuilding how they sell, how they market, and how they use AI. Not with SaaS playbooks. With a process built for selling life-changing decisions.

Your sales team is running a B2B playbook on a B2C sale.

You've built something real. Customers are getting results. Reviews are strong. Marketing is generating leads. But revenue isn't where it should be. Here's what we keep seeing:

📉

Close rates stuck in the teens

Your sales team should be closing at 30–40%. The gap between 15% and 35% is hundreds of thousands in annual revenue — leaking through the cracks every month.

🔄

Revolving door on the sales floor

Bad hiring, weak comp plans, and no coaching creates turnover. Every departure costs 6–9 months of productivity — and your best leads go cold while you're backfilling.

🎯

CEO stuck in the sales seat

You're managing reps between board meetings. A full-time VP of Sales costs $250K+. You need senior leadership without the full-time price tag.

📞

Leads dying on the vine

Speed to lead is measured in hours, not minutes. Follow-up is hit or miss. Your marketing team is generating demand that your sales team can't capture.

📊

Marketing spend with no clarity

You're spending $30–100K/month on paid channels but can't tell which ones are actually driving qualified leads. Your CAC is a guess. Attribution is a mess.

🔧

No go-to-market system

Sales does their thing. Marketing does their thing. Nobody owns the full GTM motion. There's no playbook, no alignment, and no system — just individual heroics.

Your customer isn't buying software. They're making a life decision.

Almost every fractional VP of Sales comes from B2B SaaS. They know MEDDIC, Sandler, and Challenger. They're great at selling $50K software subscriptions to procurement committees. But that's a fundamentally different sale.

We fix your sales. Then we fix what feeds it. Then we make it smarter.

Most consultancies do one thing. We deliver an integrated system — because sales, marketing, and ops are one revenue engine. Break one piece, and the whole machine underperforms.

Sales Conversion Performance Marketing AI Operations = Full Revenue Stack

Four phases to predictable revenue.

Prescription before diagnosis is malpractice. Every engagement starts with understanding — then moves to action.

Phase 01 — Week 1

Diagnose

Full audit of your revenue system — sales scripts, marketing channels, pipeline metrics, team capabilities, speed to lead, GTM alignment. We find exactly where revenue is leaking and why.

Phase 02 — Months 1–3

Rebuild

New sales process, new hiring profiles, new training cadence. We write the playbook, redesign the comp plan, align marketing spend, and recruit reps who can sell trust — not features.

Phase 03 — Months 3–6

Accelerate

Hands-on management — pipeline reviews, live call coaching, channel optimization, AI deployment. We pick the critical KPIs and move them. Then the next ones. And the next.

Phase 04 — Month 6+

Transition

Hand off to your internal team with documented playbooks, trained leaders, optimized channels, and AI systems that run without us. The goal isn't to stay — it's to build something durable.

What's your go-to-market? Let's build one that works.

Every CEO asks "what's our go-to-market strategy?" Few have a real answer. We build GTM motions that connect every dollar of marketing spend to closed revenue.

🔍

Search Engine Marketing

Capture demand when intent is highest. We audit, restructure, and optimize your paid search to drive qualified leads — not vanity clicks. Every dollar tracked to enrollment.

📱

Paid Social

Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok — wherever your buyers are. We build campaigns that generate consideration, not just impressions. Creative that converts, audiences that matter.

🤝

Affiliate & Partner Channels

The highest-trust, lowest-CAC channel most companies ignore. We build and manage affiliate programs that drive qualified leads from sources your buyers already trust.

📊

Attribution & Optimization

You can't optimize what you can't measure. We build attribution models that tell you exactly which channels drive revenue — and which ones are burning cash.

50–200% revenue increases. Not a typo.

We don't promise vague "improvements." We deliver measurable revenue growth — and we track every number.
