Founder-led sales are important as a business becomes established, but it is unsustainable for the long-term. A full-time sales leader can be a costly and premature choice. A fractional (part-time) sales leader bridges this gap as a seasoned and nimble choice who can share deep experience and broad skills, crafting a strong sales function and accessing a diverse network of experts.
A fractional sales leader can provide strategic guidance, as well as operational assistance in key areas where many founders require help such as building overall sales strategy, ensuring that sales processes align with the customer journey, and identifying/training team members so they can perform at a high level of expertise.
Employee turnover and poor sales skills/competencies are extremely costly to small-midsize companies, resulting in lost opportunities, dissatisfied customers, and demotivated sales teams. We can target foundational elements such as consultative selling, rapport and alignment building, objection handling, and sales funnel dynamics (from qualifying leads to closing the sale).
