A defined standalone project. No ongoing retainer required.

Start with the evidence.

A full pipeline can still miss plan. More activity can mask weak qualification. Capable salespeople can struggle inside an inconsistent sales system.

Before investing in more people, tools or activity, establish what is working, what is holding performance back and what needs to change.

Look beneath the number

Five dimensions. One connected diagnosis.

Select a dimension to see the evidence I examine and the kind of insight you receive.

Scores are illustrative examples only, not client data or an assessment of your business. These show five diagnostic dimensions; the sample report uses its own six-point maturity model.

01

Pipeline Quality

2/5 Example

What the audit investigates

Opportunity quality, stage conversion, stalled deals and customer targeting.

How it is assessed

Review CRM data and a representative sample of open, won and lost opportunities, alongside the proposition and sales materials.

The insight you receive

A clear view of credible pipeline, where momentum is lost and the changes to investigate first.

02

Sales Process

3/5 Example

What the audit investigates

Discovery, qualification, stage standards and buyer-confirmed next steps.

How it is assessed

Compare documented process with the evidence in live deals and conversations with leadership and the sales team.

The insight you receive

Practical changes to make qualification and opportunity progression more consistent.

03

Forecast Confidence

2/5 Example

What the audit investigates

Close-date assumptions, slippage and the evidence behind forecast commitments.

How it is assessed

Compare historic forecasts with outcomes and inspect the buyer evidence supporting current opportunities.

The insight you receive

The key sources of forecast risk and a more reliable basis for commercial decisions.

04

Team Capability

4/5 Example

What the audit investigates

Seller judgement, coaching needs, role clarity and capability against the growth plan.

How it is assessed

Use agreed team conversations and available call or deal evidence, separating observed practice from assumptions.

The insight you receive

A prioritised view of strengths, development needs and where leadership support would help.

05

Management Cadence

2/5 Example

What the audit investigates

Pipeline reviews, coaching, reporting, decision-making and action ownership.

How it is assessed

Review how meetings run, how risks surface and how agreed actions are followed through.

The insight you receive

A workable management rhythm with clearer ownership, review points and measures.

Customer and Proposition

Who you target, why buyers choose you and how consistently the team communicates the value.

People and Management

Team capability, coaching, role clarity and the way performance is reviewed.

Information Gaps

Where missing or inconsistent data limits the conclusions and what to collect next.

A defined route from evidence to action

    Examine relevant CRM data, sales materials, recent deals and the perspectives of leadership and the team.

  3. 03

    Test the findings

    Discuss the emerging issues together, challenge assumptions and identify the most important constraints.

  4. 04

    Agree the priorities

    Review the report and turn the findings into an actionable plan with owners and measures.

What you receive

What I need from you

Access to the relevant sales information and time with the people involved in selling and managing the team. We agree this upfront. Incomplete data does not prevent a discussion, but it may limit some conclusions.

What happens afterwards

You can implement the recommendations with your existing team or discuss further support. The audit does not require an ongoing retainer.

Agree the engagement first

We confirm the goals, boundaries, information needed and delivery timetable before the review begins.
