We use AI to give business owners the team they can't afford to hire

We fill the commercial seats an owner-led business needs but can't justify hiring at full time. AI agents and senior operators instead of headcount.

What we do

The roles are real. The headcount does not have to be.

We fill the commercial seats an owner-led business needs but can't justify hiring at full time. AI agents and senior operators instead of headcount.

The problem we exist for

The owner is the
commercial function.

The owner is the commercial function. Every lead, every follow-up, every pipeline review and every number routes through one person who is also supposed to be running the business, so growth is capped at whatever fits in that person's calendar. The obvious fix is to hire, and every one of those hires is a full-time salary the business cannot justify at its current size. That gap, between the roles the business needs and the roles it can afford, is where we sit.

The differentiator

We don't advise. We embed.

Consultants and coaches tell you what to do. Agencies do one part of it and report on themselves. We have built companies, systemised them and exited them, and we come inside the business and run the seat.

Get Emma
The front door

Emma is an omnichannel AI sales agent built around how your business sells. She answers new enquiries, holds the first conversation, qualifies against your criteria, follows up and either books the right person or screens the wrong one out.

She can handle multiple calls at once, so no lead waits in a queue behind another.

TCOS
The commercial operating system

TCOS gives the business one process, one rhythm and one version of the numbers. It brings together the cadence, reporting and decision infrastructure required to run sales, revenue operations and commercial performance without rebuilding the answer every week.

FCCO
The accountable operator

The Fractional Chief Commercial Officer holds the senior commercial seat inside the business. One experienced operator carries the revenue and finance-side decisions that would otherwise return to the owner.

Start with one seat, or start with all three. The order is yours.

What you get

The commercial team you cannot afford to hire, working inside your business, for less than the cost of one of the people you were going to have to find.

Not a tool. Not a course. Not a retainer for advice. Seats, filled.

The numbers

Sanity metrics, not vanity metrics.

Agencies report reach, impressions and activity. We report whether the commercial engine got faster and whether more money landed.

Speed

How quickly new demand receives a meaningful response.

Qualification

How much of the pipeline is real, relevant and ready for the next step.

Movement

Whether opportunities are progressing or quietly going stale.

Conversion

What turns into qualified bookings, sales and collected cash.

Capacity

How much commercial work still depends on the owner.

We will not manufacture certainty where it does not exist. Offer, market, lead quality and delivery capacity all matter.

What we will do is show you the numbers honestly, tell you what they mean and carry responsibility for improving the part we own.

What owners say

Real people, running real businesses.

Before Emma, we were crying, trying to figure things out. Now she's operational and part of the team. I can be on the dock talking to members, in the sales office coaching the team, instead of worrying whether everybody's being contacted.

Emma changed how we think about coverage. She's on every lead within minutes, qualifying and booking around the clock, weekends included. Watching her work through a backlog that would have taken our team days made the value obvious almost immediately.

I run a small team and I was the only one who could tell you where any lead actually stood. That's not a system, that's a bottleneck with my name on it. Emma took over the follow-up and the booking, and for the first time I can take a week off without the pipeline falling apart behind me.

Fit

We would rather disqualify you than force a fit.

Industry matters less than the shape of the business. Four things have to be true.

Enquiries are already coming in

We answer demand. We do not create it.

Buying requires a conversation

If the sale completes in a cart, there is no commercial conversation for us to hold.

The front door is not properly covered

A lead arriving after hours waits, receives inconsistent follow-up or returns to the owner.

The business can fulfil more work

There is no value in filling a queue the business cannot deliver.

Works for
  • Owner-led service businesses
  • Residential construction
  • Solar and battery
  • HVAC
  • Trades
  • Professional services
  • Businesses with an owner working the commercial seat alone
  • Businesses with a setter or closer team but no reliable front door or operating rhythm
Does not work for
  • Businesses with no lead flow
  • Cart-based sales
  • Businesses already at capacity
  • Sole operators
  • Owners who do not want to hand the seat over
  • Businesses with a capable commercial leader and a working process already in place
Check whether we fit

We will run the numbers with you. If the seat cannot pay for itself or we are not the right fit, we will say so.

There is a seat in your business still waiting to be filled.

If leads, numbers and commercial decisions still return to you, the business does not yet have a commercial function. It has an owner holding the gaps together.

We are not a vendor and we are not an agency. We take a seat in the business as a growth partner and we carry a number.

We will look at the roles the business needs, the roles it can justify and whether there is a seat for us to fill. If there is not, we will say so.
