Fractional Sales Management
Senior commercial expertise. Deployed on-demand.
Plug in a battle-tested sales operator to architect systems, coach managers, and install a high-performance revenue culture, without the overhead, ramp-up time, or risk of a full-time executive hire.
Think of it as “commercial infrastructure as a service”: scalable, measurable, and built to outlast any single person.
Stop guessing. Start engineering revenue.
Sales leadership isn’t just a role, it’s the architecture of predictable growth. Yet most organisations stumble because they treat symptoms instead of systems.
Founder-led blind spots
You built the product, secured early customers, and now the team looks to you for commercial direction. But managing a pipeline, coaching reps, and designing accountability rhythms aren’t your core expertise. You’re carrying the quota because the system isn’t.
Activity masquerading as progress
Your CRM shows 200 calls logged, but conversion rates are flat. Leadership celebrates “busy,” not “effective.” Forecasts remain optimistic guesses because no one has defined what a qualified opportunity actually looks like, or how to measure momentum toward close.
Inconsistent coaching
Research shows managers should spend 60% of their time developing reps. In reality, they’re firefighting escalations, chasing admin compliance, or defaulting to micromanagement. The result? Reps plateau, top performers leave, and hiring becomes a costly gamble.
Broken operational routines
Excellence isn’t a personality trait, it’s a product of daily habits. Without structured pre-call planning, deal reviews, and post-mortem rituals, performance stays random. Predictable revenue requires repeatable processes embedded in the tools your team already uses.
Misaligned daily focus
Chasing isolated tactics (“We need more demos!”) instead of embedding the mindset, habits, and scientific workflows that compound into commercial efficiency. A-players don’t just execute, they operate within a system that amplifies their impact.
We step in to diagnose root causes, not treat symptoms.
Scientific commercial evaluation of your current organisation. We don’t start with opinions.We start with data, observation, and behavioural diagnostics:
Predictive competency mapping
Assess sales DNA, skill gaps, and role-fit using behavioural analytics, not gut feel.
Process archaeology
Trace your buyer journey from first touch to expansion. Where do deals stall? Where does messaging break? We find the friction points hiding in plain sight.
CRM-embedded playbooks
We don’t deliver PDFs that gather dust. We build actionable workflows directly into your CRM so reps know exactly what to do, when, and why.
Accountability frameworks that measure effectiveness
Shift from “How many calls did you make?” to “What changed in the buyer’s mindset after your call?”
Sales excellence, where do you stand?
Lead with proven experience before you commit to permanent overhead.
Hiring a full-time VP of Sales is a 6–9 month gamble: recruitment, onboarding, cultural fit, ramp time. Fractional leadership de-risks that decision.
Immediate access to a seasoned commercial operator
Who’s scaled teams in your sector, navigated your funding stage, and speaks the language of both reps and board members.
30/60/90/180-day activation plans
That install rituals (weekly deal clinics, forecast hygiene, coaching cadences), align strategy across functions, and create compounding growth loops, not one-off wins.
Hands-on coaching for your existing managers
We don’t replace your leaders, we upgrade them. Transition them from order-takers and taskmasters to performance coaches who develop talent and drive accountability.
Revenue strategy locked to broader business objectives
No siloed “sales targets.” We align pipeline health, CAC payback, and expansion motion to your company’s P&L, fundraising timeline, or exit strategy.
Our method
Data. Psychology. Field-Tested Execution.
We don’t run workshops. We install operating systems. Transformation isn’t an event, it’s an embedded capability.
Assess
A deep analysis of your sales organisation using field diagnostics, CRM audits, and behavioural insights to uncover hidden friction. The result is a clear, data-backed view of what’s really happening beneath the surface.
Align
Insights are translated into a focused roadmap that connects leadership vision to day-to-day execution. Priorities, ownership, and direction are clarified to remove bottlenecks and create momentum.
Embed
Playbooks, workflows, and coaching rhythms are implemented directly into daily operations. Teams apply new approaches in real deals, ensuring immediate and practical impact.
Scale
Ongoing reinforcement and performance tracking turn new behaviours into lasting habits. Results become repeatable, measurable, and independent of individuals.
We don’t promise, we prove
Our clients don’t chase temporary spikes in performance. They build sustainable commercial machines that keep delivering long after the engagement ends.

What our clients say
Finally! Finally, a clear and effective vision of what commercial efficiency really is and how to achieve it.
Antony Derbes
CEO
A real transformation, against the grain and a step back to take a broader view of our practices. Better structure, sales process to shorten its cycle and, above all, to close deals.
Aurélie Mendez
Senior Account Executive
Working with Curiosity means embedding a value generator in your teams. No more improvised approach, we have controlled conversations with clients and prospects while respecting everyone’s sensitivities.
David Nivet
Managing Director
Curiosity solves sales issues. You reinvent yourself regardless of your experience (and I have a lot). This process of self-reflection has an almost immediate impact on the team's mindset and on the commitment of every contributor.
Jean-Marc Briquet
Global Sales Director
Curiosity's method enabled us to completely transform our approach. It challenged the most senior members of staff and help grow the most junior ones. In my eight years in sales, this is the first time I’ve seen a programme that is so quickly effective, scalable, and — above all — practical. A far cry from the usual 100% theoretical training courses.
Johanna Salvy
Head of revenue
Psychology, methods, rhetoric and mindset; Curiosity doesn't deliver a training but a transformation programme that challenges and convinces teams. They discover new resources, gain confidence, and meet their challenges head-on.
