Fractional Sales & Marketing Services

Flexible, expert support, without the full-time hire.

Bright Evolve’s fractional services give you access to experienced people for the amount of time your business actually needs.

From senior strategic leadership to hands-on delivery, our trusted team members can become an extension of your business, helping you build momentum, fill skills gaps and get important work moving without the time, cost and commitment involved in recruiting a full-time hire.

Whether you need additional delivery resource, or sales and marketing expertise, we build the support around your business.

What is fractional services?

Fractional support gives your business access to experienced sales and marketing professionals on a flexible basis.

Instead of employing someone full-time, you access the expertise you need for an agreed amount of time, whether that’s strategic leadership, hands-on delivery, additional capacity or a combination of all three.

For some businesses, that might mean a senior sales professional helping to develop and lead the sales function. For another, it could mean someone managing marketing campaigns, content and reporting. Others may need a blended team covering both sales and marketing.

There’s no one-size-fits-all model.

You get the right expertise, at the right level, for the time you actually need it.

Why choose fractional support?

Get the capability without building another full-time team

Recruitment isn’t always the right answer.

You may not need another full-time employee. You may need expertise that’s difficult to find in one person. Or you may simply need more capacity now rather than several months from now.

Fractional sales and marketing support provides a more flexible alternative.

Access senior expertise
Bring experienced sales and marketing professionals into your business without committing to a full-time senior salary.

Avoid lengthy recruitment
Skip the advertising, interviewing, onboarding and recruitment process involved in adding another permanent employee.

Reduce the management burden
We work as an extension of your team, without creating another permanent member of staff for you to recruit and line-manage.

Scale support up or down
Your requirements won’t always stay the same. Fractional support can flex as your priorities, workload and business change.

Access more than one skill set
Instead of expecting one employee to be a strategist, salesperson, content writer, campaign manager, CRM expert and analyst, draw on the skills you actually need.

Get moving faster
Bring experienced resource into the business to tackle a specific challenge, fill a capability gap or add capacity when it’s needed.

Strategy and implementation
We don’t believe there’s much value in producing a strategy that sits in a folder.

Our team can help identify what needs to happen and provide the practical resource to deliver it.

Who are fractional services for?

Our fractional sales and marketing support can work particularly well if:

You’re a founder who has been managing sales or marketing yourself and needs experienced support.
You’re a start-up beginning to build a more structured sales and marketing function.
You’re a scale-up whose commercial requirements have grown faster than the internal team.
You’re an established business that needs additional expertise or capacity.
You need senior leadership but don’t yet require a full-time director.
Your existing sales or marketing team needs strategic direction or additional support.
You have a short-term resource or capability gap.
You need specialist expertise for a particular project or period of growth.
You want to test what resource your business actually needs before recruiting permanently.

From growing businesses to established organisations, our approach is simple: start with what the business needs,
then build the resource around it.

How does fractional support work?

Flexible by design
There isn’t a standard package because businesses rarely have standard problems.

We start with a conversation about where you are now, what you’re trying to achieve and where the gaps are.

From there, we’ll recommend the most appropriate level of support.

That could mean:

Senior leadership
Expert, professional expertise to provide strategy, direction and oversight.

Additional capacity
Experienced sales or marketing resource to work alongside your existing team.

Hands-on delivery
Practical support to deliver campaigns, manage outreach, develop pipeline, create content or tackle specific priorities.

A blended fractional team
Access to different members of the Bright Evolve team where your requirements span several disciplines.

Support can be structured flexibly around the needs of your business and adjusted as those needs evolve.

And because Bright Evolve works with businesses globally, support can be delivered remotely or incorporated into a wider working relationship depending on the project.

Not sure exactly what you need?

That’s ok!

You might know that sales isn’t working as well as it should, that marketing keeps falling to the bottom of the list, or simply that your team doesn’t have enough capacity.

You don’t need to arrive with a job description. We can help you identify the gaps, establish where experienced support could have the greatest impact and put together a fractional solution that fits.
