Clearly defined
projects.

Sales can grow while profit stands still. Pricing, product range, stalled proposals or unclear responsibilities may be holding the business back. A commercial audit helps identify the causes and decide what to change first.

Typically 4 to 6 weeks. Scope and a fixed price are agreed individually.

A revenue-based bonus seems logical. But it rewards sales volume, not money earned. So your salespeople discount, and you pay for it twice. Measure what each person can actually control.

3 to 5 weeks.

When the owner also acts as commercial director, sales continue but no one drives them forward. A full-time commercial director arrives after months of recruitment and costs money every month, even when you are still working out what you need from the role.

6 to 12 months.

Owners make decisions alone. Not because they want to, but because there's no one to talk them through with. Employees agree, partners have their own interests and consultants want to sell a project. Sometimes all you need is someone who will tell you straight.

A monthly arrangement, with no long-term commitment.
