Temporary Sales Management

Experienced Sales Leadership When You Need It

Sometimes a business needs experienced sales management immediately, but recruiting a permanent Sales Manager or Sales Director can take time.

A key member of your sales management team may have left unexpectedly, someone may be taking an extended period of maternity leave, or you may simply be struggling to find the right person for a permanent position.

You may also have already recruited someone but have several weeks or months to wait before they are able to start.

At 24 I.S. Sales Intelligence, we can provide temporary and interim sales management support, giving your business experienced sales leadership during these important transition periods.

Cover for Maternity Leave

When an experienced Sales Manager or Sales Director takes maternity leave, simply asking existing members of the team to

absorb their responsibilities can put additional pressure on the business.

We can provide temporary management cover for the duration of the absence, helping to maintain:

Sales team performance
Pipeline management
Sales activity and KPIs
Team meetings and coaching
Customer and prospect management
Sales forecasting
Management reporting
Day-to-day sales leadership

This allows your sales operation to continue functioning effectively while you wait for your existing manager to return.

Unexpected Management Departure

When a Sales Manager or Sales Director leaves unexpectedly, there can be an immediate leadership gap.

Rather than rushing into a permanent recruitment decision, an experienced interim manager can provide continuity while you consider your longer-term options.

We can step in quickly to understand your existing sales operation, take responsibility for the day-to-day management of the team and maintain momentum while you recruit a permanent replacement.

While You Recruit

Finding the right sales manager can take time.

You may have already started the recruitment process but don't want your sales team operating without experienced leadership for several months.

Our temporary sales management service can provide a bridge between the departure of one manager and the arrival of their permanent replacement.

This gives you time to recruit properly, rather than appointing someone simply because you need to fill the vacancy.

Difficulty Filling a Sales Management Role

Some businesses find it increasingly difficult to recruit experienced sales managers with the right combination of industry knowledge, leadership ability and commercial experience.

If you're struggling to fill a permanent position, we can provide an interim solution while you continue your search.

Alternatively, an interim arrangement can give you time to reassess exactly what you need from the role before making a permanent appointment.

Experienced Sales Leadership

Our experience isn't limited to managing small sales teams.

Tim Jones, one of the founders of 24 I.S., has experience of managing sales teams of up to 50 people within the IT sector, including experience at PLC level.

This provides a strong understanding of the challenges involved in managing larger sales operations, setting performance

expectations, managing KPIs and maintaining commercial focus across a team.

We can bring that experience into your business for as long—or as little—as you need it.

A Flexible Interim Solution

Temporary sales management doesn't necessarily mean committing to a lengthy contract.

You may need:

A few weeks of emergency management cover
Several months while recruiting a permanent replacement
Maternity cover
Support through a period of rapid growth
An experienced manager to stabilise an underperforming sales team

Whatever the circumstances, we can discuss the level of involvement you require and agree an approach around your business.

Keep Your Sales Team Moving

A management vacancy shouldn't mean that your sales operation has to lose momentum.

With experienced interim sales management from 24 I.S., you can maintain leadership, accountability and sales focus while you work out what comes next.
