Fractional VP of Sales

Build a Sales System That Doesn't Depend on You.

We help founder-led service businesses build a sales operation that keeps growing when the owner steps back from every deal.

A sales process your team actually follows, even on a busy week.
“People drift. Systems sustain.”
The principle behind everything we build.
Our Philosophy

Our job is to build a sales team that runs fine without us.

Most founder-led companies grew on referrals and the owner's instinct. That works for a while, then it stops working, usually right when the business is busiest. A system that holds up when the owner's attention is somewhere else will.

Problems We Solve

You didn't start the business to run the sales floor forever.

If a few of these sound familiar, your people probably aren't the problem. The system around them is, and that part can be fixed.

Talk Through Yours
The owner is still the best salesperson.
Revenue is inconsistent month to month.
Every salesperson does things differently.
Nobody actually trusts the CRM.
Forecasts are educated guesses.
Growth still depends on referrals.
Sales meetings accomplish nothing.
Follow-up is inconsistent at best.
The owner spends the day putting out fires.
How We Help

Three ways to build a sales organization you can trust.

Start wherever you are. Each engagement works on its own, and each one moves you closer to a sales team that doesn't depend on any one person.

Build

Sales Operating System

We set up the sales process and the CRM, then write it all down in a form your team will actually use.

  • CRM implementation
  • Pipeline design
  • Sales process documentation
  • KPIs & forecasting
  • Dashboards
  • Sales playbooks
  • Standard operating procedures
Best first step01
Lead

Fractional VP of Sales

Senior sales leadership on your team for a fraction of what a full-time VP of Sales costs.

  • Weekly sales meetings
  • Sales coaching
  • Pipeline reviews
  • Hiring salespeople
  • Accountability
  • Forecasting
  • Leadership & strategy
Ongoing leadership02
Partner

Strategic Growth Partner

For owners who want an experienced sales leader in the room for the bigger decisions.

Once the system is running, we stay on for the questions that come with growth: when to add reps, whether the comp plan still works, which markets to go after next. The aim is growth that makes the owner's life easier, not harder.

We don't build sales organizations for businesses. We build them for the people who built those businesses.

We replace founder dependence with repeatable systems and hand the business back to the person who built it.
