Founder & Fractional Sales Director @ SDG Partners Limited

About

Founder-led businesses don’t struggle with sales because they lack effort.They struggle because sales outgrows an informal way of running it.After 30+ years leading sales teams and building commercial engines across SaaS and cybersecurity, I’ve seen the same pattern repeat: strong product, capable people, but revenue that’s unpredictable and still too dependent on the founder.I now work fractionally as a Sales Director for a small number of founder-led SaaS and tech SMEs — installing structure, rhythm, and ownership so sales becomes a managed function, not a constant pressure point.The work is simple, but not easy.Clarity on who you sell to, a disciplined pipeline, a weekly sales rhythm, and leadership around the numbers — so decisions are based on reality, not hope.The outcome isn’t hype or heroics.It’s predictability, control, and founders stepping back from day-to-day selling without revenue stalling.I only partner with 5–6 businesses at a time.If sales feels heavier than it should, a conversation will quickly tell us whether this is the right fit.

I work with a small number of founder-led SaaS and tech SMEs as a fractional Sales Director, taking ownership of sales structure, rhythm, and performance. My role is to turn sales from a founder-dependent, reactive function into a managed commercial system with clear ownership, visibility, and predictability. Typical scope includes: Defining the commercial strategy and Ideal Customer Profile focus Installing a disciplined pipeline, CRM, and reporting cadence Establishing a weekly sales rhythm and clear performance expectations Improving conversion, deal quality, and revenue consistency Reducing founder involvement in day-to-day selling without stalling growth This is not advisory or coaching. I operate inside the business, alongside the leadership team, accountable for how sales actually runs. I partner with 5–6 businesses at a time to ensure senior-level focus and execution.
