Nature of involvement
Project support
TSS Balustrade Centre is a Newport-based balustrade business. Its current public positioning covers commercial and domestic balustrade work with nationwide coverage.
Tom sold Glaseksperten glass to TSS. The relationship developed beyond product supply into commercial support.
TSS was not a formal Evans Sales Consultancy consultancy client, and is not presented as one.
Commercial support provided
01
Refining project costings
Helped the business refine how projects were costed — the point at which margin is either protected or given away in balustrade work.
02
Supporting new project wins
Supported the business in winning new projects, working through opportunities commercially rather than simply quoting on them.
03
Commercial opportunity advice
Advised around commercial opportunities available to the business alongside its existing work.
Price is a commercial decision, not an arithmetic one
In project-based building-product businesses, how a job is costed usually decides whether it is worth winning. Supporting a customer on costings and opportunity selection changes what they can afford to chase.

Business Development · United Kingdom → Scotland and the North of England
