Interim Services

Many Sales Directors and Sales Managers cite the variety as a key reason for choosing a professional interim sales career. There is no boredom in this career choice with very different assignments, various sectors and industries and different challenges. Although you will often be using a proven set of skills and experience to be successful no two assignments are the same.

If you don't want to be working day in day out or have other business interests that won't interfere with your assignment but need occasional time off then an interim sales career can be the perfect option. We are happy to register candidates that want to work in part-time roles as some of our clients don't need or want full time interims.

As someone from outside the client organisation you do not need to become embroiled in office politics or "take sides". You must be able to integrate quickly, learn fast, and understand the company culture but not be restricted by it. The role is about results and your objectivity and independence means that you can see "the wood for the trees".

Perhaps your sales experience has been gained from Blue Chip corporations and you can use this plus your executive network to assist small and medium sized enterprises and public sector organisations to grow their sales and commercial activities.

Most interim sales assignments have clear objectives, in fact we would be wary if they didn't and would work closely with the client to make sure that they were. This means that you can get on with doing what you do best and not be diverted by other considerations. Once you have achieved these objectives it is usually time to move on to your next assignment. The client can re-contact us at any time to utilise your expertise again.

If you enjoy a constant challenge then interim sales roles will provide you with plenty of scope to test your sales expertise and determination. You will need to hit the ground running, learn new products and services very quickly and constantly adapt to new circumstances. Nothing ever stands still.

You are advised to set up a limited company to operate as an interim sales person, have professional indemnity insurance to at least £250k worth of cover and probably be VAT registered.
