Interim sales & marketing support

When a Sales/Marketing Director is not performing, is ill or has recently left, keeping things heading in the right direction isn’t always simple. This create an opportunity to develop fresh plans and prepare for a brighter future. For years I have specialised in providing support for roles such as Interim Sales Director and Interim Sales/Marketing Director, Interim Business Development Director or Interim Commercial Director positions. The overall goal is not to just fill the gap, instead help you to improve sales and marketing performance in your organization.  By analysing your current sales and marketing methodologies, processes and people, we can take things to a new level.  Typical services provided include:

• Strategies for growth ( strategic planning)
• Developing an effective sales and marketing proposition to acquire more customers
• Devising a marketing plan that will “make marketing pay”
• Adopting a more consultative and solution sales approach
• Improving or introducing new sales/marketing processes and systems
• Performance management with specific KPI to deliver results

The focus is always on implementation to deliver results, and not just developing a plan for the sake of a plan. You can employ Rakesh on an interim basis for whatever period you require, either full or part-time. Once the work is complete you simply end the contract. This flexible approach has been proven to work time and time again with his clients.  He is often involved in the recruitment process to find a full time and permanent replacement for his clients. Rakesh has undertaken roles such as Interim Sales Managers, Interim Sales Directors, Interim Marketing Director or Interim Sales & Marketing Directors for global corporations, privately owned SMEs and not for profit sectors that need to be more commercially focused.
