B2B Technology Sales & Business Development
Experienced outsourced sales and business development for technology companies — without the cost and commitment of another full-time hire.
I help technology businesses identify prospects, open doors, engage decision-makers and generate qualified new-business opportunities for their sales teams to progress and close.
No obligation. We simply establish whether there’s a good fit.
Consistent prospecting, experienced conversations and a defined view of what a genuine opportunity looks like.
Why outsource
If your existing team can progress and close opportunities but doesn’t have enough prospects entering the pipeline, adding another permanent salesperson may not be the only answer.
What I do
My role isn’t to replace your existing sales team. My role is to create more opportunities for them. I work at the front end of your sales process, helping to identify, approach, engage and qualify prospective customers.
We establish exactly what a good prospect looks like by defining your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), target sectors, company size, geography, buying triggers and relevant decision-makers.
I identify suitable target organisations and the people within those organisations who are most relevant to your proposition.
I approach prospects with clear, commercially focused messaging designed to start genuine business conversations rather than simply generate activity.
I establish whether there is a genuine requirement, challenge, opportunity or commercial reason for the prospect to continue the conversation.
Qualified sales opportunities are introduced to your team to progress through your normal sales process.
You receive regular visibility of activity, conversations, opportunities and pipeline development.
The objective
The objective is straightforward: create a consistent flow of genuine new-business opportunities.
Depending on your market, proposition and Ideal Customer Profile, I typically work towards generating 10+ qualified sales opportunities per month.
These aren’t simply names purchased from a database. The focus is relevant conversations with organisations and decision-makers that fit your target market and have a genuine reason to engage.
Your team can then concentrate on progressing opportunities and closing business.Who I work with
My experience and preferred focus is within the technology sector. I’m particularly interested in businesses that already have a strong product or service but need help creating more conversations with the right prospective customers.
This is for you if…
If your challenge is essentially “we need more conversations with the right companies”, we should talk.
Why work with Henry
When somebody approaches a potential customer on your behalf, they’re representing your company. That’s why I believe new-business development shouldn’t simply be handed to the cheapest available resource.
I bring extensive experience in technology sales, business development, lead generation, prospect engagement and commercial relationship development.
I don’t want to sell to your existing customers. My focus is on new business.
I want to feed your sales team with qualified opportunities to progress and close.
The consultancy operates month-to-month.
The objective is qualified sales opportunities and meaningful pipeline.
How we get started
From first conversation to qualified opportunities, with clear agreement on what a good opportunity looks like before any activity begins.
We start with a short conversation about your company, proposition, sales objectives and current pipeline.
We agree the industries, organisations, company sizes, geographical areas and decision-makers you want to reach.
Before starting, we establish what should constitute a genuine opportunity for your business.
I begin identifying prospects, approaching decision-makers, developing conversations and qualifying opportunities.
Opportunities are introduced to your team, with regular communication around activity, feedback and pipeline. We continually refine the targeting and messaging based on what the market is telling us.
The commercials
Experienced sales and business development expertise, without the fixed cost and commitment of another permanent hire.
The exact fee is agreed based on the complexity of your proposition, Ideal Customer Profile and target market.
Frequently asked questions
No. I position myself as an outsourced Sales & Business Development Consultant. Generating qualified opportunities is a key output, but you’re engaging an experienced sales professional to work on developing your new-business pipeline.
The typical objective is up 10+ qualified sales opportunities per month, depending on the market, ICP and proposition.
This is agreed with you before activity starts. Generally, it means an organisation that fits the agreed target profile where an appropriate decision-maker has demonstrated a genuine reason or interest in having a sales conversation.
My primary focus is B2B technology, including SaaS, AI, software, IT, MSPs, telecoms and related technology-enabled services.
Typically £4,000–£5,000 + VAT per month, depending on the scope and target market.
No. The consultancy operates on a month-to-month basis.
No — quite the opposite. My role is to help create opportunities for your existing salespeople to progress and close.
Where appropriate, I can operate as an extension of your business and work closely with your existing sales operation.
