Why it matters

Sales turns a pipeline into revenue.

Three outcomes your Sales team is on the hook for, taking the demand Marketing creates and converting it into paying, growing customers.

• Revenue

Predictable, growing revenue

Convert qualified demand into closed-won deals, month after month, against a clear target.

• Relationships

Customers who stay and grow

Build the trust that expands accounts, lifts deal size and keeps customers buying more.

• Pipeline

A pipeline you can forecast

Process, tooling and intelligence so you always know what's coming and where to push.

The roster

Nine roles, one Sales function.

Build the whole team, or start with the one role you need most. Roles may include, but are not limited to, the following.

1. Lead

   • Head of Sales / Sales Lead
     Owns the revenue target, the sales strategy and the whole team's performance. Sets the process, coaches the reps, manages the pipeline and forecast, and keeps everyone aligned to the same number.

2. Account Executives / Business Development Own deals end to end and close new business.

3. Sales Development Representatives (SDRs) Prospect, qualify and book the pipeline.

4. Customer Success & Account Managers Retain and expand revenue from existing accounts.

FAQ

Sales team questions.

Is the Sales team a separate plan?
No. Sales is one of three GTM teams, together with Marketing and Customer Success, all included in the single GTM plan at £250/month or £2,500/year. One team cap of 100 Volunteers covers the whole go-to-market organisation.

Can I build just the Sales team?
Yes. Build the whole function or start with the single role that unblocks revenue right now, then add the rest as you scale.

Who should I recruit first?
We recommend starting with an HR Volunteer to run recruitment and a Founder's Assistant to absorb ad-hoc tasks, then appoint a Head of Sales to lead the function before adding SDRs and Account Executives.

How does Sales work with Marketing?
They share one pipeline. Marketing generates qualified demand and Sales converts it. On the GTM plan both teams run together, so handoffs and feedback loops stay tight.
