Which one is right for me?
Every engagement starts with a conversation — but if you want a head start, find the situation that sounds most like yours.
Outsourced Sales Manager
I'm still running sales myself and I need to hand it off.
You're the de facto sales leader — closing deals, managing reps, and doing everything else. You need someone to take the wheel so you can run the business.
Fractional Sales Manager
I have a sales team but no one is actually leading them.
Reps are in place but accountability, coaching, and pipeline discipline are missing. You need a real sales manager — without the full-time cost.
Fractional VP of Sales
I need VP-level strategy — not just someone to manage reps.
You're past the early stage and need go-to-market architecture, territory design, and executive-level revenue leadership — without a $200K hire.
Sales Coaching
My reps aren't performing and I don't know why.
The team is in place but results are inconsistent. You need someone to diagnose what's broken at the rep level and fix it — skills, habits, or both.
Project-Based Services
I have a specific problem and I need it solved.
You don't need an ongoing engagement — you need a defined deliverable. A sales playbook, a compensation plan, a pipeline audit. Scoped, executed, done.
Interim Sales Leadership
I just need someone in the seat for a while.
Your sales leader left, you're between hires, or you need coverage during a transition. Defined timeline, no long-term commitment.
Not sure what any of this costs? See engagement pricing → Most retainer engagements run $3,500–$5,000/month. Projects start at $500.
Revenue Strategy and Execution
Sales Team Management, Coaching and Training
Diagnose what's broken, fix the fundamentals, and create proven and repeatable sales processes. We work alongside your team — not above it.
Sales Organization Build
From zero to a fully functioning revenue team. We design the structure, hire the right people, install the playbook, and get your pipeline moving — fast.
Executive Sales Coaching
One-on-one coaching for founders and VPs who need to sharpen their sales leadership, close bigger deals, and build a culture of accountability.
Project-Based Services
A specific engagement scoped entirely around your situation — whatever that looks like. We define the deliverable together, execute it, and hand it off clean. No retainer, no long-term commitment required.
Three Levels of Sales Leadership. One Leader. One Firm.
Execution
Outsourced Sales Manager
Manages reps day-to-day — pipeline reviews, CRM discipline, call coaching, activity accountability, and meeting cadence. The right model when you have a team that needs consistent management but not strategic direction.
Management + Process
Fractional Sales Manager
Builds and runs the sales operation — process design, compensation structure, rep development, forecasting, and a 12–18 month revenue plan. The right model when execution is inconsistent because the infrastructure doesn't exist yet.
Executive Strategy
Fractional VP of Sales
Owns the revenue function at the executive level — go-to-market design, org architecture, hiring plan, board and investor representation, and the strategic decisions that determine whether the business scales or stalls.
Unlike a full-time VP hire
No $200K+ salary commitment
You get VP-level strategy and hands-on execution at a fraction of the cost — with no benefits, equity, or severance risk.
Unlike traditional consultants
Strategy and execution — not just a deck
Most fractional firms do one or the other. We build the plan and run the plays — embedded in your business, week over week.
Unlike waiting to hire
Revenue-ready in 30 days
A full-time search takes 3–6 months. We start in weeks — diagnosing, fixing, and building while you run your business.

The Right Mix of Leadership for Where You Are
Some businesses need someone managing reps day-to-day. Some need a leader who can build process and own accountability. Some need an executive who can own revenue strategy at the highest level. Most need some combination of all three. Fractional Uplifts delivers all three functions through a single hire, scoped to exactly where your constraints live.
Fractional Sales Manager Support — Delivered at a VP-Level
Most Louisville SMBs don't just need someone to manage the reps. They need someone who can manage the reps, run the day-to-day, fix the pipeline, and install the systems that a typical sales manager can't create alone.
Fractional Uplifts provides manager-level execution backed by VP-level leadership — the combination that actually moves revenue.
We handle everything a fractional sales manager would do, plus the strategic oversight that prevents the same problems from returning.
Manager-level responsibilities we cover
VP-level responsibilities we add
This hybrid model gives Louisville founders the tactical support they need and the strategic leadership they've been missing.
Why Louisville SMBs Choose a VP-Level Fractional Leader Instead of a Basic Fractional Sales Manager
A traditional fractional sales manager can keep the team moving.
A fractional VP of Sales can change the trajectory of the business.
Louisville founders choose Fractional Uplifts because they want both:
If your pipeline is declining, your reps lack accountability, or your sales process isn't repeatable, a manager alone won't fix it. You need someone who can diagnose, rebuild, and lead — not just supervise.
Our clients get the benefit of a fractional sales manager plus the strategic horsepower of a VP-level operator.

800% Sales Growth in Under a Year
Industry
Residential Construction — National Homebuilder, Louisville Branch
The challenge
The Louisville branch of a national homebuilder had a sales team running without structure, accountability, or the right people in the right roles. Activity was high. Results were not.
What we did
I came in as the embedded sales manager. Rebuilt the team, installed a repeatable sales process, and established the accountability rhythms that had been missing. Wrong people were replaced. Right behaviors were reinforced.
The result
Sales improved 800% within the first year. The results were visible enough that leadership promoted the role out of the branch and into a higher position within the organization.
"Leaman helped us bring structure, clarity, and accountability to our sales organization. Within a short period, our pipeline became more predictable, and our team operated with greater confidence. His leadership made an immediate impact."

Common questions about declining sales
Declining sales are usually caused by weak pipeline quality, inconsistent prospecting, unclear sales processes, or poor leadership accountability. When teams rely on ad hoc selling instead of a structured system, results become unpredictable. Fixing declining sales starts with diagnosing gaps in process, messaging, and daily execution.
What causes declining sales in a small business?
Declining sales in a small business usually trace back to weak pipeline quality, inconsistent prospecting, or a lack of structured leadership accountability. When reps rely on relationships and intuition instead of a defined process, results become unpredictable and revenue drops.
How do I identify the cause of declining sales?
Start by reviewing pipeline activity, conversion rates at each stage, and rep behavior. Declining sales usually trace back to one of three root causes: weak prospecting, poor qualification, or stalled deals with no follow-up cadence.
How do you fix declining revenue quickly?
Fix declining revenue by auditing your pipeline immediately, identifying where deals stall, and reinstating daily prospecting discipline. Short-term, focus on advancing existing opportunities. Longer-term, install a repeatable process with clear accountability.
When should I hire outside help to fix my sales?
Hire outside help when you've tried internal fixes and revenue is still declining, when the founder is still running sales past $2M, or when you have reps but no one accountable for managing them. A fractional sales manager can diagnose and fix the root cause faster than a full-time hire.
