What a Freelance Sales Director Can Bring to Your Business
From sales strategy and lead generation to CRM management, commercial partnerships and new market development, a freelance sales director brings the experience and hands-on execution needed to turn opportunities into revenue. At Gold Button Collective, Melanie Martin works with businesses and organisations to identify opportunities, build relationships and get commercial plans moving.
I’m Melanie Martin, founder of Gold Button Collective. I’ve spent more than 20 years in sales and business, built businesses of my own, developed franchise models and worked on commercial campaigns involving brands including Adidas, Charlotte Tilbury, Maybelline, Rimmel and Vodafone.
I’ve seen what happens when a business has a brilliant offer but no clear route to market. When opportunities are sitting there, but nobody has the time, experience or commercial connections to pursue them. When a great idea needs someone who can see the bigger picture and pick up the phone.
That’s where I come in.
I work across sales strategy, business development, lead generation, commercial partnerships and campaign execution.
That could mean helping a business break into a new market, building employer relationships for an apprenticeship or training provider, developing a partnership that creates new revenue, or taking an underperforming sales pipeline apart and rebuilding it properly.
I don’t arrive with a recycled strategy deck and tell you to post three times a week.
I want to know where the money is, who the buyers are, what’s stopping the deal and what we need to do next.
Then we make it happen.
And you don’t necessarily need another full-time director on the payroll to access that level of commercial experience.
Sometimes you don’t need more people. You need the right person asking better questions, opening the right doors and getting things moving.
So, what’s sitting on your desk right now that should be generating business but isn’t?
A new market? A partnership? A sales pipeline that needs some serious attention?
Let’s talk. I do love a good commercial challenge.
