Getting sellers ready to win, and keeping new work coming in.
Anchored against the Pace framework. People pillar.
Enablement is treated as training. Onboarding is slow, certifications do not change behaviour, content sits unused, and managers were not enabled to enable. Pipeline coverage is not where it needs to be, or when it is, it is the wrong mix. There is no clear line from enablement spend to revenue outcome. The function needs to be designed, built, and embedded, or the function exists and is not working.
A clear story and the plays to win with it. The pipeline engine. Faster onboarding. Training across product, industry, and selling skills. Better managers. The right materials. Coaching and reviews that keep it live.
Sales events, run end to end: Theme and content. Logistics and delivery. Planning and budget. Your kick-offs, summits, and customer events, planned and run so they land.
Plays and pipeline creation
The three-tier sales play system (Anchor Value Story, Core Value Propositions, Tactical Plays) with bill of materials and activation. And the pipeline creation engine: cadenced prospecting, the marketing-product-sales-inside-sales interlock, campaign and demand orchestration. Pipeline coverage as the managed outcome.
Academy
Foundations (Ready to sell), skills by role and seniority, and a leadership academy with a proprietary hiring framework that builds the manager layer.
Content
Hero / L1 / L2 / L3 content tiering with governance, taxonomy, decay management, and performance analytics tied back to deal outcomes. Built with a seller mindset, not a marketing one.
Engagement
Enablement platform. Manager rhythms, deal coaching, embedding cadence. Flagship events (SKOs, leader summits, customer events) as marquee moments. A single voice across all of it.
A team that tells one clear story, a pipeline engine that keeps new work coming in, people trained across product, industry, and selling skills, and events that bring the team together.
A Pillar Engagement is a discrete, scoped transformation engagement against one of the three COMPOSE frameworks. The frameworks are not generic capability areas. They are the proprietary, codified ways we deliver. Each one anchors a different layer of the commercial system, and each one is a real, commissionable service in its own right. Three Pillar Engagements are offered. You can commission one, or sequence two over time. They share a common shape:
What we work on is calibrated to what the assessment surfaced, not a templated rollout.
Focused enough to land, long enough to embed.
We lead the work. Your team owns the outcome.
No hand-off to junior consultants.
Commissioned individually or in combination, depending on what the diagnostic surfaces.
Plays and Pipeline
Creation
Designing and building the play system and the pipeline engine that fuels it. The three-tier sales play system. Anchor Value Story. Core Value Propositions. Tactical Plays. Bill of materials, activation cadence, and performance analytics. The Pipeline Creation engine. Cadenced prospecting. Marketing, product, sales, and inside-sales interlock. Campaign and demand orchestration. Pipeline coverage as the managed outcome. The output is a connected discipline that turns strategy into seller behaviour and demand into qualified pipeline.
Academy Design, Build, and Launch
Designing, building, and launching the learning architecture for the commercial organisation. Foundations (Ready to Sell). Skills curricula by role and seniority. Leadership Academy with a proprietary hiring framework that builds the manager layer. Certification and competency model. Onboarding-to-productivity discipline. Coach-the-coach cadence. The output is a manager layer enabled to coach deals and a seller layer that compounds capability over time.
Events, Engagement and Content Services
The seller-facing platform that activates and sustains the function. Flagship events as marquee moments. Sales kick-off (SKO), leader summits, customer events, regional engagements. Enablement platform selection and operating model. Manager rhythms, deal coaching, and embedding cadence. Full content service. Hero, L1, L2, and L3 content tiering. Governance, taxonomy, decay management, and performance analytics tied back to deal outcomes. Built with a seller mindset, not a marketing one. The output is a single voice and a sustained operating rhythm across the commercial organisation.
Enablement is asked to change how people sell, but rarely controls what actually decides behaviour: what gets inspected in the forecast call, what the comp plan pays for, what a manager reinforces in a one to one. Content and training alone cannot outvote those. PACE builds capability where it lands, in live pipeline, and treats learning, change, culture and engagement as part of the strategy rather than the communications wrapped around it.
Managing Partner
Entry point. Assesses the whole system. Scores the commercial organisation across all six pillars and surfaces what to address first.
What COMPOSE is. The six interconnected components of a high performing sales organisation. Each coloured segment represents one pillar.

Pillar engagements usually follow the Diagnostic and can lead into wider programme work or interim leadership where the work needs to be landed inside the business.
Start with the diagnostic, then commission the framework engagement that the evidence calls for.

The challenge
An award-winning commercial enablement function had to be designed and built from the ground up, covering plays, academy, content, engagement, and the platform that runs them. The bar was set high. It had to be measurable, evidenced, and connected to revenue outcomes, not a content library.
What was done
· Designed and led the full commercial enablement function as the accountable VP. Owned the operating model and all four Centres of Excellence (Plays and Pipeline Creation, Academy, Content, Engagement).
· Built the three-tier sales play system from Anchor Value Story through Core Value Propositions to Tactical Plays, with bill of materials and activation.
· Built the Pipeline Creation engine. Cadenced prospecting, marketing-sales-product-inside-sales interlock, pipeline coverage as the managed outcome.
· Built the Academy across Foundations (Ready to Sell), Skills by role, and the Leadership Academy with a proprietary hiring framework.
· Architected the content discipline (hero/L1/L2/L3 tiering, governance, decay management).
· Selected and led implementation of the enablement platform. Designed the engagement model (manager rhythms, deal coaching, flagship events) with a single voice across all of it.
Outcome
Internal Innovation Award for the function and approach. Pipeline coverage uplift of 1.7x to 3.2x off a €6.5 million sales kick-off event spanning 1,650 people. Material improvement in onboarding-to-productivity time. Play adoption and content engagement evidenced at function level. A manager layer enabled to coach deals rather than chase forecasts.

The challenge
The corporate sales function needed a new strategy and a partner programme designed to extend reach into segments the direct organisation could not cover economically. The existing partner motion was disconnected from the direct go-to-market, with overlapping accounts, unclear economics, and inconsistent value propositions.
What was done
· Designed the corporate sales strategy. Segmentation, coverage, channel mix.
· Designed and operationalised the partner programme. Tiering, enablement, deal registration, partner business plans, economics.
· Aligned partner and direct motions to remove conflict and create complementary coverage.
· Led the rhythm of business and reporting that gave leadership confidence in partner-sourced and partner-influenced revenue.
Outcome
Coherent partner programme operating in market with clear economics. Partner-sourced and partner-influenced revenue evidenced through structured reporting. Direct and indirect motions complementary rather than competing.

The challenge
Following a major acquisition, two commercial organisations had to be integrated into one without losing the run-rate. Operating models, processes, tools, plays, and ways of working were duplicative, inconsistent, and slowing the combined organisation down. Sellers were navigating two systems and two cultures.
What was done
· Designed the unified commercial operating model post-merger. Segmentation, coverage, organisation design, role architecture, decision rights, governance.
· Designed the unified enablement function using the PACE framework. Single plays system, single Academy, single content discipline, single engagement model.
· Led the lead-to-cash process rationalisation and the supporting architecture decisions.
· Built the rhythm of business and forecast discipline that gave the combined organisation a single source of truth.
· Mobilised the cultural integration alongside the structural one. Recognition, communications, manager activation.
Outcome
Combined commercial organisation operating as one inside the integration window. Orders growth of +2.4 percent representing $6.7 million across more than 2,000 sellers. Sellers operating on a single set of plays, content, and processes across the combined business. Internal Transformation Award.

The challenge
A multinational B2B business needed to reset enterprise GTM following years of inorganic growth. Coverage was inconsistent across regions, segmentation lacked discipline, the operating model was federated by accident rather than design, and the data architecture beneath the commercial engine had visibility gaps that made forecast and planning untrustworthy.
What was done
· Ran a structured organisational capability assessment across the commercial organisation. The forerunner of the COMPOSE Sales Model Diagnostic™.
· Designed the enterprise GTM strategy and the operating model that supported it. Segmentation, coverage, account tiering, rhythm of business.
· Architected the data and reporting backbone for executive visibility and forecast discipline.
· Led the cross-functional alignment between sales, marketing, product, and finance behind a single plan.
· Mobilised the change across regions, respecting local market nuance while holding a consistent global standard.
Outcome
Revenue scope of £800 million to £1.2 billion across post-merger commercial integration. Material improvement in coverage quality, segmentation discipline, forecast accuracy, and pipeline coverage. Operating model and rhythm of business embedded across all three regions.
