What is a Fractional Sales Director?

A Fractional Sales Director is an experienced, senior commercial leader who works with your business on a part-time basis, rather than as a full-time employee.

You get the commercial leadership, structure and accountability a senior sales director brings, without the cost and commitment of a full-time senior hire.

Do you replace our existing sales director or sales team?

No. B&R Strategic Growth works alongside your leadership team, including any existing sales director or sales manager.

The role is to add the commercial clarity, visibility, structure and rhythm that growth needs, so your people can focus on customers and opportunities rather than chasing information.

Who do you typically work with?

Established performance textiles, apparel, PPE, engineered soft goods and material innovation businesses, and related technical B2B manufacturers.

They usually have proven products, established customer relationships and genuine market opportunity, but commercial complexity has started to outpace the structure needed to manage growth.

When isn't this the right fit?

It's typically not the right fit for businesses that are still searching for product-market fit, want a quick sales fix rather than long-term commercial improvement, or already have strong commercial visibility, forecasting discipline and growth structure in place.

What happens on a Strategic Growth Call?

A Strategic Growth Call is a structured, 30-minute working session focused on how commercial growth is actually operating inside your business today: where growth is being constrained, what is creating drag, and where the strongest opportunities exist.

No hard pitch and no obligation. Whether we work together or not, you'll leave with greater clarity on your commercial priorities and next steps.

What is the Commercial Growth Diagnostic?

A structured working session that maps how revenue is created in your business, from first contact to closed deal. It assesses the four profit levers, reviews the five critical sales functions, and shows where effort is creating leverage and where it is creating drag.

You leave with evidence-based priorities and a short list of actions that will create momentum. More about the Commercial Growth Diagnostic.

What is the B&R Growth Engine?

The B&R Growth Engine is a practical commercial growth framework built on four elements: Fractional Sales Leadership, B&R Growth Engine Structure & Systems, Sales Co-Pilot Support, and Sales & Performance Management.

Together they create the visibility, accountability and commercial rhythm needed for predictable, sustainable growth. See what's included.
