You don’t have a lead problem
Six questions, thirty seconds. Then two of us install the commercial system that fixes what you actually have, and hand it over.
Can you state the rule that makes a lead worth a call?
Carrying an enterprise number between us, across the UK, EU, US and India.
Overseas platforms taken into the UK and EMEA from a standing start.
The enterprise deal band we sell in, start to close.
Juniors. The two of us, in the room, doing the work.
You are stronger than this market can see.
Run the maths
You’ve been avoiding. Not an argument against hiring. An argument against hiring first, before anyone knows what actually sells here.
- VP Sales
- £140k base, loaded with employer NI, pension and benefits
- Two SDRs
- £40k each, loaded the same way
- Recruitment
- agency fees to place two of the three
- Tools, data, travel
- before anyone has sold anything
in year one, before you learn whether the motion works.
And the honest base rate on that bet is a coin flip.
Meanwhile the best seller in the company is still you. That is what happens when the motion does not exist yet.
- What it costs to find out
- Two weeks
- What it costs if you proceed
- Nothing
- When you know
- The same week
Of the VP you have not hired yet, at the loaded figure above.
Credited in full against activation begun within 90 days.
A written go or no-go — against month nine, hiring first.
The same decision, made after you know the answer instead of before.
£320,000
in year one, before you learn whether the motion works.
One hour first
Then the rest. Always in constraint order, never in billing order. We don’t sell steps two, three or four cold, and the first one costs nothing.
- Step one
The gate
One hour. Your story, what has worked, where you lost. A written go or no-go, both ways.
Free - Step two
Ground Truth
Three phases — where you win, what you say, how it runs. A motion a new rep could run in week one, and twenty accounts live.
Scoped in the gate - Step three
The install
The engine built under your brand. Positioning, partners, demand and presales, tested on real accounts.
Scoped in the workshop - Step four
The engine
We run the market until your commercial team can, then hand over and go.
Then it is yours
What we are not
Not an agency
A lead-gen agency covers demand. A sales trainer covers conversations. Neither owns the number.
Not a hire
One person at around £165,000 loaded is four jobs, and nine months before you learn anything.
Not a lock-in
We build our own replacement. The engine goes on your domain, under your brand, with your team running it — then we go. That's in the design.
Not a long wait
We target first qualified meetings in week six, against month nine for anyone who hires first.

We have run it
The business you are trying to build here. Between us we have opened markets for, or carried a number at, the platforms below.
Phil Boyle
Fifteen years of enterprise sales and partnerships on both sides of the table — as the platform and as the delivery partner.
- Built the European channel from nothing at Marketplacer — GSI, SI, ISV and consultancy partners, against a £600K net-new pipeline number.
- Led the EMEA agency channel at BigCommerce, carrying a $450K monthly recurring unit.
- Ran UK services business units from £2.5M to £7M at LiveArea, Greenlight and Advansys. He has carried your model as a number, not sold software around it.
Taha Zaheer
Twelve years carrying an enterprise number at SAP, Adobe, Mirakl, Uberall and ChannelAdvisor, through its acquisition by CommerceHub.
- Deals from £150K to £3.5M, sold into multi-site industrial and enterprise operations teams. Your buyer, not an adjacent one.
- Has watched good products lose to worse ones for want of the system underneath.
- Builds the system: signal capture, account scoring and outbound, installed under your brand and left on your domain.

Every commercial function is a production line. Yours has one bottleneck, and everything downstream of it is waiting. Good leads into a broken system produce a worse result than no leads. We find the stage that is capping you, clear it, and only then install demand.
Week six
Month nine
First qualified meetings. Against anyone who hires first.
Same destination. The difference is whether this year is spent finding the motion, or compounding it.
You’ll know either way
One structured hour, seven questions, a written answer the same week. Worst case you get an outside read on your position in this market, free.
