Sarah G.
Commercial Growth | Business Development | Strategic Partnerships
I help businesses find and develop new commercial opportunities. That can mean new customers, strategic partnerships, distributors, routes to market or entering the UK market. My approach is research-led, but commercially focused. I look for the trigger first: what is happening in a business or market that creates a reason for someone to need what you're selling? Then I find the companies experiencing it, the right people within them and a relevant reason to start a conversation. **Why this company? Why this person? Why now?** For a recent UK client, I built a new B2B partnership channel from scratch. Within the first 24 days, we agreed two new commercial partnerships and generated a further 13 engaged meetings with prospective partners. The project received a 5-star review: “Sarah was absolutely fantastic to work with and really understood our mission.” I can help with: • Business development and commercial growth • Strategic partnerships • UK market entry • Distributor and channel development • Market and competitor research • ICP and target market development • Prospect and decision-maker research • Outreach, follow-up and pipeline development I bring more than 35 years of commercial experience and use AI and research tools extensively to work faster and investigate opportunities more deeply. The judgement, conversations and relationships remain human. I'm not interested in producing huge prospect lists or activity for activity's sake. I'm interested in finding the opportunities most likely to turn into business and doing the work needed to move them forward. If that's what you need, let's talk.
