Pillar›Strategy & OperationsOne of several services within this pillar
Sales Strategy

A sales process that lives outside people's heads.

Stage definitions, qualification frameworks, playbooks, and the coaching infrastructure to run them consistently as you scale. Built to survive headcount changes.

What this is

Your real playbook is hidden in the deals you won.

Many sales teams have one playbook on paper and another in practice. Each rep sells their own way, stages mean different things to different managers, and what top performers know leaves when they do. We document how your won deals actually moved, then turn that into stage definitions, qualification criteria and playbooks. We configure the stages in your CRM and set up the coaching habits that keep the process in use as you hire. It suits companies scaling a sales team where results still depend on a few individuals.

Sales strategy is part of the Strategy & Operations pillar, so the playbook connects to the CRM that tracks it and the go-to-market motion it serves. A Fractional COO can work alongside your VP of Sales, building the structure and operating infrastructure while the VP keeps leading the team.

Built for businesses where the pipeline exists but conversion is the constraint — not for early-stage companies still finding product-market fit.

How we approach it

Start from practice and write the rules down.

01
Compare paper to practice

The Operating Assessment looks at real deals, stage usage and handoffs, and compares the documented process with the one your reps actually follow.

02
Write the stage criteria

We set stage definitions, qualification frameworks and exit criteria with sales leadership, so every rep and every report reads a stage the same way.

03
Build playbooks from wins

Playbooks come from what has already worked in your own deals. We configure the stages in your CRM so the process and the data match.

04
Keep it in use

We set up the coaching and deal review habits that keep the process alive through new hires, turnover and growth in the team.

Stack fit

We operate in your tools, not ours.

No migration, no rip-and-replace. We work inside the stack you already run, and getting an underused tool actually driving the funnel is often the fastest win on the roadmap.

Does your sales process survive a new hire?

The Operating Assessment compares the sales process you have on paper with the one your team actually runs, and shows where deals stall. You leave with a prioritized roadmap. No commitment to proceed.
