Commercial Leadership.
Global Expansion.
Digital Infrastructure.

UK | Europe | North America | Australia

Your business may not
have a sales problem.

It may have a sales system problem.

Many businesses have a good product, strong reputation and plenty of potential.

Growth stalls when sales depend on the owner, opportunities aren’t followed up consistently, pipelines aren’t visible and salespeople aren’t held to clear standards. We identify what is preventing growth and build the commercial structure to fix it.

One connected commercial system

Six ways in.
One commercial thread.

Assessment, market entry, commercial leadership, business development, digital infrastructure and recruitment are not six separate consultancies. They are stages of the same job: turning a good product into a market that keeps buying it.

Most businesses need two or three of them, not all six. Start where the constraint actually is — the rest only matters if and when it earns its place.

Work out where growth should come from

A commercial assessment of the business as it trades today: where revenue actually comes from, what is constraining it, and which market deserves the next investment.

Sales growth assessment

Investigate a market before committing to it

Demand, competitors, customer structure, routes to market and the commercial realities of a territory — assessed properly before a cost base is created.

International market entry

Lead the commercial side while it is built

Senior sales leadership inside the business for one or two days a week: strategy, pipeline, structure, people and accountability for the numbers.

Fractional Sales Director

Do the business development itself

Named target accounts, distributors, specifiers and contractors approached directly — real conversations and real pipeline, not a report about where they might be.

Business development

Build the commercial infrastructure buyers meet

Market-entry websites, multilingual estates, international search architecture and lead capture built around the route to market rather than around a design trend.

Digital commercial infrastructure

Recruit the permanent capability when it is justified

Country Managers, Sales Directors and commercial and technical sales people recruited around the commercial task — once the market has produced evidence that the headcount is warranted.

International recruitment

International market development

Building new markets, not just finding leads.

Entering a new country requires considerably more than generating a list of prospects.

Evans Sales Consultancy helps manufacturers and specialist B2B businesses understand new markets, establish the right route to market, build relationships with customers, distributors, contractors, consultants and other decision-makers, and develop commercial opportunities through to revenue.

From initial market assessment through to hands-on representation, the objective is simple: turn a new territory into a functioning market.

Client work

Markets are built through relationships.

Real businesses. Real commercial challenges. Real market development.

Evans Sales Consultancy has experience helping manufacturers and specialist B2B businesses grow — from UK and European market entry and distributor development through to national sales growth, project generation and new revenue streams. Described as it happened — no figure is published that cannot be evidenced.

From £0 to £2.2m across three new markets in 12 months

Project generation & business development

Need more projects?
We go and find them.

Some businesses don’t have a delivery problem. They have a pipeline problem.

They have the people, products, expertise and capacity to take on more work, but not enough of the right opportunities coming through the door.

Evans Sales Consultancy can work as an extension of your commercial team to identify target organisations, reach the right decision-makers, open conversations and develop genuine sales and project opportunities.

Not bought leads. Not a database. Real business development.

01

Target

Define the customers, sectors, territories, project types and contract values worth pursuing.

02

Identify

Find the businesses, projects, organisations and decision-makers that represent genuine commercial opportunities.

03

Engage

Approach relevant decision-makers directly and start commercial conversations.

04

Qualify

Understand requirement, timing, budget, commercial fit and decision-making process.

05

Develop

Build the opportunity rather than simply passing over a contact name.

06

Introduce

Bring qualified opportunities into your internal sales or technical team and support progression where required.

You’ve built the capacity.
Now let’s fill it.

If your business has capacity for more customers, contracts or projects, Evans Sales Consultancy can help build the pipeline required to support that growth.

Built for businesses that are ready to sell more.

Considered, high-value B2B sales

Evans Sales Consultancy works particularly well with businesses selling technical products, services, projects or contracts where growth depends on strategy, relationships, pipeline development and disciplined execution.

The strongest fit is a complex or relationship-led sale: one that needs commercial judgement, consistent follow-up and a clear route from opportunity to revenue.

Fractional Sales Director

Need a Sales Director?
You may not need one full-time.

Some growing businesses reach the point where sales needs genuine senior leadership, but another full-time director isn’t necessarily the right answer.

Evans Sales Consultancy can work as your Fractional Sales Director, becoming part of the leadership team and taking responsibility for sales strategy, people, pipeline, performance and commercial growth.

This isn’t simply an occasional strategy meeting. It’s experienced, hands-on sales leadership structured around what your business actually needs.

The true cost of sales leadership

What does a full-time Sales Director really cost?

Salary is only the start. Add bonus, employer National Insurance, pension, recruitment and the cost of keeping someone on the road, and the real figure looks very different. Set your own assumptions and compare a full-time Sales Director with a Fractional Sales Director for the days you actually need.

Takes a minute. Nothing is gated — your comparison appears on screen as you change the figures.

International recruitment

Sometimes a market needs the right person on the ground.

A market-entry plan reaches a point where somebody has to be in the territory: holding the relationships, managing distribution and carrying the number.

Evans Sales Consultancy recruits the commercial and technical people that businesses need to enter, establish and grow new markets — for overseas businesses hiring into the UK, and for UK and European businesses hiring abroad. The role is defined against the commercial task the market presents, not against a job title.

  • Country Managers
  • Sales Directors
  • Business Development Managers
  • Technical Sales Managers
  • Specification Managers
  • Regional Sales Managers

Market entry digital infrastructure

A new market can make a good business look invisible.

Buyers in a new country search in their own language, judge quickly and rarely persevere with a site built for somebody else’s market.

Evans Sales Consultancy builds the digital commercial infrastructure an expansion needs: positioning for the market being entered, multilingual and country estates, international search architecture, commercial tools, research assets, enquiry journeys and CRM connection. We do not begin with pages. We begin with the market, the buyer and the route to revenue.

  • Market-entry websites
  • Multilingual estates
  • Country content
  • International SEO
  • AI search readiness
  • Commercial tools
  • Reports & research
  • Lead capture & CRM

What’s stopping you from selling more?

  • Not enough opportunities?

  • Poor conversion?

  • An inconsistent pipeline?

  • A sales team that needs direction?

  • Unused capacity?

  • A new market you want to enter?

Whatever is constraining growth, the first job is identifying it.
