There are many companies looking down the Interim Sales Director route as a quick and flexible way to rapidly grow sales and increase existing sales team performance. I can join the team almost immediately, am adept at jumping in at the deep end, learning the ropes quickly and using my transferrable skills and experience at gaining significant sales results.
With over 20 years’ Interim Sales Director experience working in sales organisations big and small and at varying levels of growth it is likely that I have overcome most business challenges.
Because of my cross-sector experience I have developed a success toolkit that is not from one industry or sector providing stronger resilience and best practice. I have successfully recruited 10s of salespeople over the years at SDR, AE, CS, VP Sales and CRO levels and developed robust sales processes, written sales playbooks, chosen Sales Technology, and implemented Sales AI and automation. This experience you get access to whenever you need it.
I can be hired on an “as needed” basis usually a number of days per week and can fill the gap of a departed Sales Director before a permanent hire can be found, or to cover maternity, absence, or sabbatical. You may want to trial a new service or product and don’t want to hire a full-time permanent employee. Whatever the circumstances hiring me as an Interim Sales Director is flexible and minimises risk particularly with employment regulations
I can deliver real results in a wide variety of business scenarios involving growth, change or turnaround. These can include transition or change management, project management and launching new products and services to new markets. I effectively mentor, coach and develop existing salespeople using different proven sales methodologies and sales training using my objectivity and independence.
Sensibly overqualified for the job in hand, I have a demonstrable track record which enables me to be effective from Day One. I can stay for as long or short a time as is needed to get the job done and then assist by helping you recruit my successor and onboard them.
Most businesses today know that they need to invest quickly in sales teams and leadership to stem competition and get ahead of the curve. Going fast and hard has become a prerequisite for success.
