Fractional Sales Management is a strategic approach where a seasoned sales leader is hired on a part-time basis to guide and improve a company’s sales operations without the financial and operational commitment of a full-time executive. This model is especially valuable for growing businesses, organizations in transition, or those lacking the budget for a permanent sales leader.
Pivotal Advisors’ Fractional Sales Management Services focus on empowering businesses by providing an experienced Senior Advisor to:
- Establish Effective Sales Processes: Build and refine sales methodologies tailored to the company’s unique objectives.
- Set Clear Goals and Foster Accountability: Provide regular direction to sales teams while ensuring they remain accountable for performance outcomes.
- Enhance Sales Team Capabilities: Deliver targeted coaching and skill development programs for sales professionals.
- Strengthen Sales Forecasting: Improve accuracy and reliability in sales predictions.
- Support Hiring and Onboarding: Assist in recruiting, training, and smoothly onboarding new sales team members, while preparing the organization for a permanent sales leader.
Throughout the engagement, the Fractional Sales Manager maintains transparent communication with senior leadership, offering regular updates on:
- Sales Pipeline and Projections: Insights into current performance and future expectations.
- Team Productivity: Evaluation of team strengths, weaknesses, and overall effectiveness.
- Weekly Highlights: Key takeaways, challenges, and notable achievements from ongoing activities.
Key Benefits of Fractional Sales Management:
- Enhanced sales productivity, with increased activity levels, better conversion rates, and larger deal sizes.
- Improved sales forecasting for better strategic decision-making.
- A robust sales management structure with clearly defined processes, metrics, and accountability systems.

This solution is particularly suitable for CEOs who lack the time, expertise, or inclination to oversee sales operations directly. By leveraging a Fractional Sales Manager, businesses gain a cost-effective way to drive accountability, refine team performance, and achieve consistent sales growth without the immediate need for a permanent leadership hire.
