Business development, beyond advice

Business development covers everything that allows a company to grow its revenue sustainably: go-to-market strategy, team organisation and hiring, sales methods, performance management and Revenue Operations.

We believe value is created in execution: our engagement runs from the audit through to implementation, and adapts to have the greatest possible impact on your revenue target.

Operating Partners who have led sales organisations

Our business development consulting is delivered by executives who have contributed to the expansion of leading international start-ups and taken companies public on the NASDAQ. Each Atscaler has 15 to 25 years of experience in the sales function or Revenue Operations, including more than 10 years in leadership roles.

We have led teams, hit (and sometimes missed) targets and grown organisations under pressure. We know the work from the inside and we work alongside you.

Frequently asked questions about our business development consultancy

What is a business development consultancy?

It is a firm that helps companies grow their revenue by working on their sales strategy, organisation, teams, sales methods and performance management.

At Atscale, support runs from audit to execution and is delivered by Operating Partners who have themselves led sales organisations.

Where should you start?

Most often with a sales audit: it identifies the gaps in your go-to-market organisation and the growth levers with the highest return on investment, then leads to an action plan. Depending on the findings, the next step may be a Revenue Operating Partner, interim management, training or a sparring partner.

What is the difference between a consultant and an Operating Partner?

A consultant diagnoses and recommends. An Operating Partner joins the teams to execute the roadmap, alongside leadership.

At Atscale, our people have 15 to 25 years of experience in the function, including more than 10 years in leadership roles.

Do you work with investors?

Yes, we run sales audits and commercial due diligence for private equity funds, VCs and family offices, before or after the signing of a letter of intent, and we design value creation initiatives for their portfolio companies.

What type of company do you work with?

Mainly B2B scale-ups and private equity-backed companies that want to move to their next growth phase, especially when they are moving away from a founder-led sales model to build a structured sales engine.
