Turning Complexity Into Clarity.
Clarity Into Revenue.
Most technology businesses do not have a product problem. They have a sales approach problem — the wrong motion, applied to the wrong buyers, at the wrong size. Here is how I fix it.
The Market Has Changed.
Most Sales Motions Haven’t.
Buyers self-educate before talking to sales
80% of the buying journey now happens without any vendor contact. If you are not visible in the AI-enabled research phase, you are not considered at all. Being found late means being found after the shortlist is set.
AI compresses shortlisting before first contact
95% of winning vendors were already on the buyer’s Day One shortlist. By the time a buyer contacts your sales team, the decision is largely made. The window to influence is before that first call — not during it.
Buying committees are larger and more complex
Enterprise technology purchases now involve 6 to 12 stakeholders. Each one can veto a deal. One-to-one selling no longer works. Without structured qualification — MEDDPICC, Challenger, SCOTSMAN — deals stall and pipeline becomes noise.
From Advisor to Provider
Most consultants advise. I deliver. The distinction matters because advice without execution leaves pipeline, revenue, and board confidence on the table.
Advisor
The first two weeks are spent diagnosing before prescribing. No assumptions. Evidence-based assessment of the commercial function, pipeline health, and GTM motion.
- Audit pipeline quality and forecast discipline
- Identify ICP misalignment and messaging gaps
- Assess sales process, cadence, and CRM hygiene
- Interview stakeholders and review historic deal data
- Deliver a prioritised commercial action plan
Provider
From week three onwards the focus shifts entirely to execution. MEDDPICC enforcement, deal governance, pipeline acceleration, and measurable commercial output.
- Run weekly pipeline reviews and deal qualification
- Coach reps through multi-stakeholder enterprise deals
- Activate AI-driven lead generation and outbound
- Build forecast accuracy and board-level reporting
- Deliver qualified pipeline and closed revenue
Diagnose before you prescribe
Identify the client’s real pain, the metrics that matter, and the decision process. No assumptions — evidence-based diagnosis using MEDDPICC from day one.
Create urgency and shape the solution
Turn challenges into opportunities by co-creating a shared vision with measurable outcomes. Link the solution to the economic buyer’s priorities.
Prove business impact, not features
Design a pilot or phased solution that demonstrates ROI before full commitment. Build internal champions and de-risk the decision for the buying committee.
Why land a 747 when a Cessna proves the point?
De-risk the deal and enable success
Drive smooth implementation, ensure stakeholder adoption, and remove blockers early. A smooth delivery is the foundation for renewals and expansion.
Turn wins into long-term growth
Monitor results against agreed KPIs and open cross-sell and upsell opportunities. Trusted partnerships, not one-off deals.
Sales edge: partnerships over transactions.
Why land a 747 when a Cessna proves the point?
Start Small
Enter with a focused scope. A specific market segment, a defined ICP, a pilot outbound cadence. Enough to test the hypothesis and generate early signal without committing the whole organisation to a motion that has not yet been validated.
Prove Impact
Measure everything from week one. Pipeline created, meetings booked, deals qualified, forecast accuracy. Impact that is visible to the board within 90 days — not as a projection, but as a number. Revenue in, pipeline moving, team performing differently.
Scale with Confidence
Once the motion is proven, scale it. Expand the ICP, add channels, grow the team, activate partners. Each expansion built on evidence — not assumption. By this stage the business has a sales function it can trust, not one it has to interpret.
The Frameworks That Power It
Not theoretical constructs applied in training rooms. Live commercial tools used in deal reviews, pipeline calls, and board reports — every week, without exception.
MEDDPICC
Metrics, Economic Buyer, Decision Criteria, Decision Process, Paper Process, Identified Pain, Champion, Competition. Eight components applied to every active deal, updated every week. Not a template — a live deal navigation tool that surfaces risk before it becomes a loss. Certified practitioner. Applied across every engagement since 2020 with measurable forecast accuracy improvement.
Challenger Sale
Buyers do not need vendors who listen and nod. They need vendors who tell them something they did not already know. Challenger methodology drives every client conversation: a well-researched hypothesis about what is broken, why it matters commercially, and what the cost of inaction is. Not aggressive — precisely aimed. Advanced certified practitioner.
AI-Enabled Outbound
AI is not a tool for generating volume. It is a precision instrument for identifying the right buyer at the right moment with the right message. Personally designed and deployed across multiple engagements — reducing sales admin overhead by 50%, improving MQL quality by 75%, and activating pipeline that a traditional outbound motion would not reach.
Partner-Led Selling
The fastest route to enterprise accounts is often through partners who already have the relationship. Co-sell, reseller, and strategic alliance models across Microsoft, Adobe, Salesforce, and major systems integrators. Built and activated for Kogifi Corp (Sitecore, Optimizely, Adobe), contributing $2.06M ARR and expanding EMEA reach without proportional headcount growth.
Technology Businesses Needing Fast Commercial Leadership
No Sales Director, or one who is not performing
- Pipeline stalling and no one who owns the number
- Permanent hire timeline is 9+ months away
- Board needs revenue accountability now, not next quarter
- Team capable but lacking direction and qualification rigour
Underperforming Sales Functions That Need a Rebuild
Something is broken but no one can name it
- Deals stalling at late stage without clear cause
- Forecast consistently inaccurate in both directions
- Marketing and sales misaligned on what a good lead looks like
- No MEDDPICC or equivalent qualification discipline in place
Organisations That Need Revenue Impact, Not a Roadmap
Strategy is not the problem. Execution is
- Existing strategy is sound but not translating to closed revenue
- Need someone who executes, not advises from a distance
- PE-backed or investor-scrutinised — results visible to the board
- Ready to scale once the commercial engine is proven and running
What Engagement Delivers
- A qualified, moving pipeline the board can read and act on — not interpret
- MEDDPICC embedded as a live operating standard, not a training exercise
- Forecast accuracy measurably improved — typically within one quarter
- AI-enabled lead generation infrastructure operational from day one
- Sales and marketing aligned around the same ICP, the same metrics, and the same pipeline definitions
- New logo acquisition running — personally executed, not delegated
- A sales team that qualifies harder, closes faster, and forecasts honestly
- A permanent hire brief that is informed, specific, and ready to execute — when the time is right
