Senior by design. Focused by choice. A practitioner, not a consultant.
Compose Sales Partners is a sales transformation practice built on two decades on the front line, inside some of the world’s largest commercial organisations and the firms that advise them. Deliberately senior, deliberately focused. Every piece of work is led personally by senior practitioners, with a tight network of specialist partners brought in when the work needs them. We are not a strategy house hiring graduates to build frameworks. We have spent twenty years running and rebuilding the functions those firms only advise on, and being personally accountable for the outcomes the slideware was meant to deliver.
Twenty-plus years across top-tier consulting and senior in-house leadership. You work with the practitioner, not a pyramid. A proven, trademarked model. Work designed around what you actually need, at home in the boardroom and on the front line.
Twenty-plus years split across top-tier consulting and senior in-house commercial leadership. We have stood on both sides of the slideware.
Direct, senior-led engagements. You work with the practitioner, not a pyramid.
A proprietary, trademarked method. The COMPOSE Sales Model® with three delivery frameworks and a diagnostic refined across two decades.
Bespoke programmes, not productised methodology. We design what the business needs, calibrated to what the Diagnostic surfaces.
Equally at home in the boardroom and on the front line. Across cultures and geographies, in single-global and federated regional operating models.
The practice is led by Umar Gill, F.ISP, Managing Partner: a sales and commercial transformation executive with over twenty years building, leading, and transforming enterprise commercial organisations across EMEA, the Americas, and APAC, from scale-ups to multinationals in telecoms, media, technology, software, information services, and manufacturing.
His career spans senior commercial roles at AVEVA, Clarivate, Vodafone, Canon, and NielsenIQ, and consulting at Accenture, Deloitte, and Acosphere. He has led multi-billion-pound transformations and built award-winning global functions.
He is the author of the COMPOSE Sales Model® and the PERFORM, PACE, and RISE frameworks within it. He holds an MSc from Henley Business School, completed Executive Education at Saïd Business School, Oxford, and is a Fellow of the Institute of Sales Professionals (F.ISP).
We are a practitioner-led sales transformation practice. These are the principles we work by.
We have run the functions we now help others build. Two decades leading commercial organisations inside some of the world’s largest businesses, we run and transform the functions, the client owns the number and being accountable for the outcomes that slideware was supposed to deliver. That experience is the whole point.
The practice is backed by a tightly held network of senior practitioners and partner organisations, brought in on demand and matched to each piece of work. They bring deep specialism across operations design, data and analytics, enablement and training, and content and events. Every piece of work is led personally by the practitioner. Specialists join when the work needs them, never as standing overhead.
We start every engagement with an honest assessment of where the commercial organisation actually stands, then calibrate the work to what the evidence surfaces rather than to a templated methodology.
Our work is measured by what holds after we step out, not by how long we remain. We design the change, lead it alongside your team, and transition it cleanly to permanent ownership.
We protect the revenue a business depends on today while we change how it will grow tomorrow, and we hold to that duty of care in every decision.
The most useful first conversation is a structured score of where your commercial organisation stands, and what to do about it.
A practitioner-led sales transformation practice anchored on the COMPOSE Sales Model®.
