Part-time Head of Sales

You have salespeople but no one to lead them. Hiring a Head of Sales at €90k plus variable is too early. I take over sales leadership, part-time, long enough to structure everything.

It's for you if…

  • You're a founder still carrying sales yourself, and it no longer holds.
  • You have 1 to 20 salespeople, but no framework: everyone sells their own way.
  • You're not ready to put €120k+ a year into a full-time Head of Sales.
  • You want sales leadership that executes, not a consultant who churns out a deck.

This role is also called a fractional sales director or outsourced sales director: whatever the label, it's sales leadership taken on a few days a week, not one more full-time role to fund.

What we put in place

  • An honest diagnosis of your sales machine (pipe, deals, conversion, cycle).
  • A sales playbook: ICP (your ideal customer), message, deal stages, qualification, objections.
  • The steering: rituals, forecast, a clean CRM, KPIs that actually mean something.
  • The coaching of the reps on their real deals, every week.
  • The hiring and onboarding of your next salespeople when the time is right.

How it works

Usually 1 to 2 days a week, on a mission of a few months. We start with a diagnosis, set the playbook, execute with the team, and I hand over as we go so it holds without me. The goal is to make myself unnecessary, cleanly.

Rather looking to level up a team already in place? Head to the sales training. Starting from scratch on strategy? Look at the Go-To-Market expertise.

You leave with
  • A clear diagnosis of your sales machine
  • A sales playbook your team actually uses
  • Steering rituals and a reliable forecast
  • A coached, more autonomous team
  • A hiring plan when the time is right
Frequently asked questions
How long does a mission last?

Usually a few months, long enough to structure and hand over. The goal is to make you autonomous, not to settle in.

How many days a week do you step in?

Often 1 to 2 days a week, adjusted to your phase and your stakes.

Remote or on-site?

Both. I work with teams all over France, on-site as well as remote.

What team size is it for?

Typically 1 to 20 salespeople, or a founder still carrying sales themselves.

Shall we structure your sales?

30 minutes to take stock. I'll tell you frankly whether a part-time mission makes sense for you.
