You built the product.
We'll build your sales function.

BDG Consultancy helps early-stage founders go from "we don't really do sales" to a repeatable revenue engine — without hiring a full team you can't afford yet.

The reality for most founders

You didn't start a company to become a salesperson.

But somehow, here you are. And it's harder than anyone told you it would be.

01 / FIVE HATS

You're wearing every hat

Founder, CEO, CFO, head of marketing, COO. One minute you're the specialist doing the actual work, the next you're the marketer, the accountant, the salesperson and customer support. Sales isn't your background — and it shouldn't have to be.

02 / NO PLAYBOOK

You've never sold anything before

No script. No CRM. No clear idea what a qualified lead actually looks like. And no time to work it out between product launches.

03 / RISKY HIRE

Hiring feels like a leap of faith

Building a sales team before your process is defined means paying someone to figure out your business for you. Expensive, slow, and usually wrong twice before it's right.

BDG exists for exactly this moment.

How we help

Two ways to work together.

Pick the one that matches where you are right now. If you're not sure, the discovery call will tell us both.

Diagnose

Sales Process Audit

If you're already trying to sell but nothing's converting, we find out why — and hand you a written playbook you own.

  • Deep-dive review of your pipeline and conversion points
  • An honest assessment of what's working and what isn't
  • A written playbook: scripts, processes, pricing review
  • 90 days of follow-up support while you implement it

Build

Contracted Sales Professional & Advisory

We embed as your fractional head of sales, build the function from zero, hire and train your first reps, then hand it over.

  • Fractional sales leadership on your team (3–12 months)
  • Build the playbook, set up your CRM, design your pipeline
  • Hire, train and manage your first sales hires
  • A clean hand-off when you're ready to fly solo

How it works

From your first call to a sales function you own.

Four stages. Clear outcomes at each one. Nothing happens that you haven't agreed to.

STAGE 01

Discovery call

Free, 30 minutes. We get to know your business, your product, your founder story and where you are right now. No pitch, no pressure — just a conversation.

STAGE 02

Audit & strategy

We diagnose the current state — pipeline, scripts, conversion, pricing — and design the sales motion that fits your stage and your customer.

STAGE 03

Build & execute

Playbook, CRM, scripts, lead lists, first hires, training. We build the function with you, in your business, on your tools.

STAGE 04

Hand-off & scale

You own the sales function. We stay on as advisors. You keep the playbook, the team, the systems and the confidence to keep climbing.

Selected client

Who we're building with.

We take on a small number of engagements at a time, so the work stays hands-on.

About

Senior sales leadership, on demand.

A few words from the person you'll actually be working with.

"I built BDG because I saw the same pattern over and over — brilliant founders, stalled by sales."

Over the past 10 years I've spent my career in sales — from door-to-door in the north of England, to business development in the Middle East. I've seen it all.

I spent eight years in the high-stakes world of property sales. In that industry you learn very quickly that a great asset means absolutely nothing if you don't have a repeatable, structured system to sell it.

But it wasn't until I moved into the wider corporate and startup world that I realised how rare that systemic knowledge actually is. I worked inside a dedicated sales function and watched a frustrating pattern play out: brilliant, innovative products with immense potential, failing to make money. The product teams were exceptional — but the bridge between the product and the revenue was completely broken.

Shortly after, I worked with a real estate team. They had the ambition, the market and the funding — but when it came to implementing their vision, they lacked any cohesive structure.

BDG exists to be that bridge: calm, practical, straight-talking sales leadership for founders who shouldn't have to figure out sales alone.
