Sales Process Optimization
Build a sales motion, fix something that isn't working, or get more control over the sales function you already have
Whether you're building your first repeatable B2B sales motion or trying to get more control over an existing sales function, I step in to make sales more structured, controllable, and dependable.
That might mean working out who to target and how to sell, building qualified pipeline, tightening discovery and qualification, improving how deals progress, managing or coaching a sales team, or getting forecasting, CRM, retention, and expansion under better control.
Over 10 years working with commercial teams worldwide, across companies and organisations such as:

I work across the full sales cycle and the commercial system around it.
Upstream
Upstream, that can include ICP, positioning, prospecting, and shaping the sales motion.
Active opportunities
Through active opportunities, I work across discovery, qualification, pre-sales, deal strategy, negotiation, and closing.
After the sale
After the sale, I can help improve handoffs, onboarding, retention, renewal, and expansion.

Average sales cycle
Where a sales function already exists, I can also step into the operating side of it.
In practice, that can include:
Pipeline & deal governance
Leading weekly pipeline and deal governance, surfacing revenue risk early, and correcting momentum.
Forecast & revenue visibility
Owning forecast rhythm and revenue visibility.
Qualification & stage discipline
Defining and enforcing qualification and stage standards.
CRM as commercial control
Re-establishing CRM integrity as a commercial control system.
Team accountability & coaching
Strengthening accountability and coaching across the team.
Customer revenue protection
Tightening onboarding, retention, and expansion so customer revenue and margin are better protected after the sale.
Hey there,
Thanks for stopping by. The simplest way to explain how I work is this:
How involved I get depends on what the business needs. Sometimes that means diagnosing the problem and advising on the fix. Sometimes it means coaching an individual or team, managing pipeline and performance, leading a commercial initiative, or getting hands-on alongside the team. I can also work closely with a founder or sales leader as a commercial right hand, supporting both decisions and execution.
Situations where companies typically bring me in
- A founder has early traction but needs to turn an informal approach into a repeatable sales motion.
- The company is unclear on who to prioritise, how to position the offer, or how to turn activity into qualified demand.
- Prospecting, discovery, qualification, demos, or follow-up are happening, but too many good opportunities are dropping out along the way.
- Pipeline exists but conversion is unpredictable, deals keep slipping, or the forecast cannot be trusted.
- A sales team needs stronger management, coaching, deal inspection, accountability, or more consistent standards.
- Complex or higher-value opportunities are stuck because stakeholder access, deal strategy, commercial justification, or next-step control is weak.
- Customer handoffs, onboarding, renewals, or expansion are creating avoidable revenue leakage.
- Sales performance is below expectations, but it isn’t yet clear where the real problem sits.
I approach pipeline with the same rigour finance applies to cash flow. When the numbers aren’t dependable, it becomes much harder to make confident decisions around growth, hiring, investment, and where commercial attention should go.
Over 10 years, I’ve worked across B2B SaaS, technology, and professional services in full-cycle and enterprise sales, sales management, coaching, pipeline and forecasting, and Sales Process Optimization. I use MEDDPICC, Sandler, Command of the Message, BANT, and the Bowtie Revenue Model where they fit. I don’t force one methodology onto every business.

If something here sounds familiar, send me a brief overview of what you’re dealing with. You don’t need to know exactly where the problem sits or what type of support you need before getting in touch.
