Outsourced sales for UK SMEs

You don't need to sell.
You need a system that gets you leads.

Bring in an experienced, done-for-you salesman for one or two days a week—or let John build the complete process and train your staff to run it themselves.

The real problem

Most SMEs do not have a shortage of potential customers.

They have a shortage of consistent prospecting and follow-up. The owner is busy. Existing staff naturally choose easier work. Old enquiries sit untouched, and new-business activity starts only when sales become urgent.

John gives that work an owner, a repeatable rhythm and the commercial experience to turn activity into worthwhile conversations.

Look beyond the salary

A salesperson can cost £37,500–£49,500+ before commission.

Current UK salary averages put a Business Development Executive at around £32,700 and a Business Development Manager at around £42,700. Once employer National Insurance and minimum pension contributions are added, the basic annual employment cost is already roughly £37,500–£49,500—before recruitment, commission, equipment, software, management time or absence cover.

Illustrative UK comparison based on August 2026 salary averages and 2026/27 statutory employer rates. Actual costs vary.
