Make growth repeatable.
You’re spending on growth but you can’t see what’s working
If the system connecting sales, marketing, and leadership isn't working, spending more just adds noise.
Sales get good leads but don't close them. Marketing generates leads that sales don't rate. The board can see money going out the door, but can't point to what's coming back. It's not a people problem – it's a system problem.
I find what’s broken, fix it, and leave your team running it
I’m Nik Stapleton – I've spent twenty years in marketing, direct sales, and commercial leadership – most of it working where those three are supposed to join up but don't.
I find where growth breaks down – how you’re targeting and selling, whether the pipeline's real, and whether the numbers tell the truth. Then I rebuild the parts that aren’t working and leave your team with a system they can run without me.
I work in short, fixed sprints – typically weeks, not months. Every engagement is fixed-scope: no retainers, no day rates.
I call it Revenue ReSET. It works across three areas – goals and ownership, how you target and sell, and whether you can trust the numbers – so growth becomes visible and repeatable instead of depending on instinct.
