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.
  • A seamless transition plan for onboarding a full-time sales leader when the time comes.

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.
