# Interim Sales Leadership

I step in quickly, stabilise your sales and keep revenue on track, without the cost or delay of a permanent hire.

## When to bring me in

- Your sales leader leaves unexpectedly
- You're entering a new market and need temporary leadership
- An underperforming team needs stabilising and coaching
- You're preparing for funding, M&A or a restructuring
- A CRM implementation needs commercial ownership (see [CRM & HubSpot](https://optumnova.com/crm?hsLang=en))

## What I bring

35+ years of hands-on international B2B sales experience at management and director level:

- Executing your commercial strategy through change
- Pipeline quality and forecast accuracy
- Sales process improvement
- Clear communication with management, board and investors

No ramp-up, no fluff, just results.

## How I work

01

### Free intake and fit check

We talk through your situation, needs and timeframe.

02

### Quick start

I'm available at short notice and productive from week one.

03

### Hands-on delivery

Weekly reporting and clear deliverables.

04

### Exit or handover

If needed, I help recruit and onboard a permanent successor.

When our sales director left without notice, Eric took over within a week. He steadied the team, kept our biggest renewals on track and closed the quarter on target. Six months later he handed over to our new director with a clear plan and a pipeline we could trust.
