Your Sales Director – powered by Two Zero
Two Zero is a business support service for scaleup business leaders in Lancashire. Led by Lancashire County Council, its mission is to help Lancashire’s scaleup leaders learn, grow their business 20 per cent and create jobs.
It works with private sector organisations to provide services to help ambitious Lancashire business leaders develop their scaleup mindset and put their business on the path to high growth, playing a part in growing the Lancashire economy.
Two Zero also creates and shares regular helpful insights on scaleup topics, bring scaleup leaders together through events and work with regional and national organisations to help develop the scaleup business support ecosystem.
Two Zero has joined forces with Lancashire scaleup business and expert sales firm Sales Geek to deliver an impactful sales service.
Through Two Zero, Lancashire County Council will provide match funded places for ambitious Lancashire businesses to benefit from Sales Geek’s Your Sales Director service, giving scaleup leadership teams access to an expert sales director working directly within their business for up to four days.
Hiring a sales director is a big step. While a sales director can help grow a company’s customer base and drive revenue growth, they often command a high salary, making it a difficult commitment for growing SMEs.
Your Sales Director is for businesses looking to scale their sales operations. You might be experiencing growth in demand that is difficult to keep up with or an unexpected downturn.
The service provides access to an experienced sales director who will work directly with your company over the course of either two or four days (two options available).
They will work with you to explore, improve and build capacity in:
- Processes and systems
- Sales and operational infrastructure
- Analysis and planning
- Sales revenue
