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 provide Fractional Commercial Leadership — a 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.

How it fits

  1. Owner / MD
  2. Evans (fractional)

  4. Pipeline
  5. Revenue

Senior sales leadership.
Without another full-time senior hire.

For ambitious businesses that need someone to genuinely own sales.

Executive recruitment

Permanent. Interim. Fractional.

Senior leadership recruited around the outcome the business actually needs — board level, commercial, finance, operations and technical.

Permanent

A long-term senior appointment: succession, growth, professionalisation or a genuine functional gap.

Permanent executive recruitment

Interim

Time-limited executive leadership for a defined situation, where waiting is the expensive option.

Interim executive recruitment

Fractional

Ongoing senior leadership without a full-time executive appointment.

Fractional executive recruitment

Eleven executive roles across general management, commercial and revenue, finance, and operations and technical leadership.

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.

Digital Infrastructure in Practice

Digital infrastructure for how your business grows.

Commercial websites, search visibility, authority content, useful tools and lead journeys for established UK growth and international expansion — with genuine builds shown separately from client outcome case studies.

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.

Early-stage?

You may not need a Sales Director yet.

For founder-led B2B, AI, SaaS and technology startups, Evans provides a lower-commitment route to commercial clarity, credibility and early traction.
