# Sales Advisory Board

Weekly 1:1 sessions with me, Vlad Buyanov, for the founder or the head of sales: live deals, pipeline, pricing and hiring. Ongoing, month to month, and 1:1 rather than a panel of advisers.

Ongoing, month to month. For the founder or the head of sales. I do all the consulting work myself; scope and cost are agreed after an introductory conversation.

## What a session covers

Each week we take what is live on your side. The agenda is yours; these are the 4 things it usually holds.

- Live deals: the deal that stalled, what was said on the last call, what to say on the next one, what to ask for, and when to walk away.
- Pipeline: the numbers of the week, coverage against the target, where deals sit by stage, which ones are not real and should leave the pipeline.
- Pricing: the quote in front of you, where the floor is, what to trade instead of a discount, when to raise the price, how to answer "it's too expensive".
- Hiring: whether to hire now, the role profile, the candidate, the offer, the first weeks of the new hire.

## What you bring, and what you leave with

You bring the facts of the week: the deal and its history, the pipeline numbers as they are in the CRM, the quote you are about to send, the candidate you are about to interview. You leave with a decision and the next action in the words you will use: the message to the buyer, the answer to the discount request, the questions for the candidate, the number to check before next week.

Between the sessions the deals, the team and the numbers are yours.

## Month to month

The board runs month to month, with no fixed term. 2 shapes are common. After a [B2B Sales System Build](https://vladbuyanov.com/b2b-sales-system-build?hsLang=en), the internal owner who took the system keeps a weekly check with me through the first months of running it alone. For a founder who is still the main salesperson, the board runs alongside the [5D Sales Pack](https://vladbuyanov.com/5d-sales-pack?hsLang=en) while the first hire is made and starts closing. In both cases it continues while there are decisions worth a weekly session and stops when there are not.

## What it is not

Not a panel of advisers and not an outsourced sales-management team: the sessions are 1:1 with me, every week, and nobody else is in the room. I do not manage your salespeople or run your sales function; that is a fractional or full-time sales leader, which I am not.

A diagnosis and a build are different formats. When nobody can say why sales stalled, the [B2B Sales Audit](https://vladbuyanov.com/b2b-sales-audit?hsLang=en) comes first. When the need to rebuild is agreed, the B2B Sales System Build builds the system with your team over 3–9 months, and the board can follow it.

I do not guarantee a revenue increase. We agree the scope, deliverables and responsibilities before the engagement. The examples on this site describe individual engagements, not typical results.

## Advisory board or a fractional sales leader

The board is for the person who runs sales and wants every week's decisions checked; a fractional sales leader runs sales for you. In the US and Canada a fractional assignment averages 9.7 months at 14.6 hours a week, 88% on a monthly retainer (Vendux, 2025 report on the fractional market): a part-time manager inside your team. The board takes 1 session a week with me and leaves the deals, the team and the numbers with you. If nobody on your side runs sales, the board won't replace that person: start with a [B2B Sales System Build](https://vladbuyanov.com/b2b-sales-system-build?hsLang=en) or a hire, and bring the internal owner to the board afterwards.

## Good fit / Not the right format

### Good fit

- A founder or head of sales who makes the sales decisions and wants them checked every week by someone with 20+ years in B2B sales since 2006.
- Live deals and a pipeline in the CRM: something to decide every week.
- The internal owner of a system handed over after a B2B Sales System Build, in the first months of running it.
- A founder still in every deal, alongside the 5D Sales Pack, while the first hire is made.

### Not the right format

- Someone to run sales day to day: a part-time or full-time sales leader.
- Nobody can say why sales stalled: the B2B Sales Audit first.
- A group of advisers, or a board that meets once a quarter: this is 1:1 and weekly.
- No live deals yet: there is nothing to decide weekly, and the 5D Sales Pack comes first.

## Request an introductory conversation

We go through your situation and I tell you whether weekly sessions are the right format, whether a different one fits better, or whether you don't need me. Scope and cost are agreed after that conversation. Or write to [sales@vladbuyanov.com](mailto:sales@vladbuyanov.com).
