Commercial clarity that turns strategy into action.

Every engagement starts by understanding what is really limiting growth, and ends with practical, commercially grounded actions your team can use immediately.

GTM & Commercial Diagnostic

Find out what is holding back revenue.

Most companies feel the symptoms of a commercial problem before they understand the cause. This rapid but thorough diagnostic uncovers the root issues in your GTM, sales process, messaging, and operating model.

What’s typically included

  • Interview key stakeholders across sales, marketing, and product

  • Review current GTM strategy, ICPs, messaging, and positioning

  • Map the end-to-end sales process and commercial operations

  • Identify friction points, gaps, inconsistencies, and inefficiencies

  • Benchmark readiness and maturity

  • Build a clear, prioritised roadmap of what to fix and in what order

  • Where useful, I use AI tools to support research, analyse patterns, and speed up early insight generation. This accelerates the diagnostic without compromising depth, rigour, or the quality of recommendations.

What you get

  • A clear view of what’s slowing growth and the commercial impact of each issue

  • A prioritised set of fixes that focus effort where it will move revenue fastest

  • A simple, actionable 90-day plan to improve execution and lift performance

  • Insight across sales, marketing, product, and operations to align teams around what matters

  • Early clarity that accelerates decision-making and reduces wasted time

Best for: Tech, media, and expert-led businesses experiencing inconsistent sales results, messy GTM execution, or unclear positioning.

Sales Process & Commercial Operations

Fix how revenue work actually gets done.

If your sales process feels unclear, inconsistent, or overly dependent on a few people, it is usually a sign the commercial engine needs attention. I help redesign your sales process and operating rhythm so teams can sell consistently and confidently.

What’s typically included

  • End-to-end sales process mapping

  • Redesign sales stages, qualification, and handoffs

  • Create clear workflows across product, marketing, and sales

  • Introduce simple governance, cadence, and accountability

  • Improve forecasting, deal velocity, and pipeline health

  • Review operating rhythm (cadences, reporting, accountability)

  • I use AI to help quickly analyse pipeline data, identify friction points, and test alternative process designs, allowing us to move from assessment to impact more rapidly.

What you get

  • A clearer, more predictable sales motion that improves deal velocity

  • Fewer dropped handoffs and more consistent progression through the pipeline

  • Improved forecasting accuracy and better visibility of true revenue drivers

  • Stronger cross-functional alignment that reduces friction and rework

  • A sales organisation that operates with confidence, consistency, and structure

Best for: Businesses needing stronger sales consistency, better structure, or a more mature revenue engine.

Go To Market Strategy & Narrative

Align your story, strategy, and sales execution.

Strong GTM is more than a strategy deck. It is the connection between who you sell to, why they should care, and how your teams show up in the market. I help sharpen your narrative and align product, marketing, and sales so everyone is telling the same compelling story.

What’s typically included

  • Clarify ICPs, value proposition, and commercial messaging

  • Competitive review & market mapping

  • Build a practical GTM strategy your team can execute

  • Strengthen the commercial narrative used across product, marketing, and sales

  • Support proposition design, packaging, and pricing

  • Ensure sales behaviours match the strategy

  • AI helps accelerate exploration and testing of messaging, positioning, and competitive angles, but all final narrative, strategy, and framing comes from human judgment grounded in experience

What you get

  • A sharper commercial story that improves conversion across pitches and proposals

  • Clearer messaging that helps the whole business articulate value consistently

  • A GTM strategy that focuses effort on the highest-value segments and opportunities

  • A narrative and positioning framework that strengthens differentiation

  • Greater internal alignment, making execution easier and faster

Best for: Companies launching new propositions, entering new markets, or struggling to articulate their value convincingly.

Embedded Commercial Support

Keep momentum after the strategy is defined.

Some clients ask me to stay involved on a fractional basis to help teams implement the work, maintain commercial discipline, and ensure the new GTM practices stick.

What’s typically included

  • Support implementation of the diagnostic or GTM plan

  • Coach sales and marketing leadership

  • Strengthen processes, routines, and reporting

  • Help teams adopt new behaviours and ways of working

  • Act as an independent commercial sounding board to the CEO or CRO

  • AI supports the ongoing work by speeding up analysis, content testing, and synthesis so I can focus more time on coaching, decision-making, and embedding commercial discipline.

What you get

  • Hands-on support that accelerates execution and brings commercial clarity into the day-to-day

  • Better deal quality and stronger pipelines through real-time coaching and intervention

  • Faster adoption of new processes, tools, and behaviours that improve performance

  • A reduction in operational noise so teams can focus on the right commercial priorities

  • Momentum that compounds, turning strategy into tangible revenue outcomes

Best for: Leadership teams that want support embedding new GTM practices or need a senior commercial partner without hiring full-time.

Sales Enablement

Helping sales teams sell with more clarity and consistency.

High-performing teams don’t just need better decks or more content, they need clarity. Clarity on who they’re selling to, the story they’re telling, how they qualify opportunities, and what “good” looks like at each stage of the process. I help companies turn that clarity into practical enablement that improves win rates and strengthens day-to-day execution.

What’s typically included

  • Audit existing enablement materials, messaging, and workflows

  • Clarify the core value story and create simple narrative frameworks

  • Strengthen qualification, discovery, and opportunity management

  • Build practical tools: playbooks, messaging guides, case study formats, objection scripts

  • Improve proposals, pitch materials, and commercial storytelling

  • Provide hands-on coaching through real opportunities and live deals

What you get

  • A clearer, more consistent commercial story that improves how opportunities progress

  • Stronger qualification and cleaner deal progression, reducing time wasted on low-value deals

  • Practical tools that shorten ramp time and make good selling easier to repeat

  • A team that sells more consistently because the narrative, process, and expectations are clear

Best for: Sales teams who need clearer messaging, stronger execution, and a more predictable way of selling.
