For CEOs, CCOs & CROs in complex B2B

Simplify your marketing. Build a pipeline sales can convert.

For technical B2B firms with sales teams but no senior marketing leader. I sharpen market, message and sales motion—so your team creates better sales conversations and relies less on the founder.

Plain words: less scattered activity; clearer commercial choices your team can run.

The situation

More tools. More marketing activity. Same revenue.

Technical B2B teams do not need another channel, agency or AI workflow. They need a clear market, buyer message and sales motion—so sales gets more of the right conversations.

01

Pipeline is unpredictable

Revenue depends on referrals, founder energy or one salesperson rather than a repeatable system.

02

The message is too broad

Your offer makes sense internally, but buyers cannot quickly recognise why it matters now.

03

Activity is expensive—but disconnected

Channels, tactics and AI tools are moving, yet there is no shared market choice, buyer message or sales follow-up.

04

No senior owner

A CEO, sales leader or junior marketer is carrying decisions that need experienced GTM judgement.

Channels and tactics are focused through market, message and sales motion to create more right sales conversations and revenue.
Use AI well

Faster execution still needs human commercial judgement.

AI is useful for faster execution. It does not replace market choice, buyer understanding, ownership or human sales judgement.

Three ways to move

Reset. Build. Sustain.

Choose the commercial outcome your team needs now—not the largest package.

01 · Clarify

GTM Reset

€2,650/month

3 months

When: priorities are unclear and the founder is still the default decision-maker.

Decide the market, message, offer and sales priorities.

A clear 90-day plan your team can run.

03 · Continue

Growth Sustain

From €1,990/month

12 months

When: momentum fades and progress returns to founder dependence.

Maintain focus, measurement and team ownership without a full-time senior hire.

A pipeline that does not depend on you.

Days 26–45

Build the 90-day plan—or launch one priority GTM play with measurement and team ownership.

About Phil · in person

The energy is part of the method.

Not a slide-deck consultant. I work in your CRM, your calls and your team meetings — and I bring pace.

I build B2B revenue engines that keep working when you stop pushing. 25+ years inside sales-led B2B firms — software, APIs, industrial, energy, logistics, professional services. The pattern is always the same: plenty of activity, no engine. I fix that with the team, hands-on, through a focused 90-day GTM Reset.

  • I lead the work myself — no juniors, no hand-offs
  • Evidence before opinion, commercial language over marketing theatre
  • Built for handover: your team runs the engine after the 90-day Reset

What this changed for other B2B teams.

Technical and complex B2B environments — energy, SaaS, PE-backed services.

Energy & industrial

0% → 35% inbound

A B2B energy company went from 0% inbound-sourced pipeline toward 35% after the diagnosis named the three biggest leaks.

SaaS scale-up

12% → 19% conversion

Lead-to-deal conversion moved from 12% to 19% — same team, a better engine underneath it.

PE-backed portfolio

€14K/month saved

Replaced a €14K/month agency retainer with an embedded operator and a system the team now runs alone.
