We serve as the bridge between companies that need to quickly secure sales leadership and accelerate revenue growth, and Sweden's sharpest interim sales managers. Appointing a Sales Manager is crucial for reaching sales targets and developing the market—and the need is often urgent.

Situations Where an Interim Sales Manager Makes a Difference

The need for an Interim Sales Manager often arises when immediate action is required to strengthen sales performance and develop the business. We are experts at rapidly installing the right competence to lead and evolve your sales organisation when you face:

  • Unexpected vacancy: When your regular Sales Manager or a key person in sales management leaves at short notice, and the team’s momentum and results-focus must be secured immediately.
  • Digital transformation: During the restructuring of the sales organisation, implementation of a new go-to-market strategy, or the introduction of new sales processes or CRM systems that require dedicated and experienced leadership.
  • Growth & scaling: When you need to quickly build or scale the sales team, launch new products/services, or penetrate new customer segments or geographies.
  • Specific projects: During major sales campaigns, the establishment of new sales channels, development of Key Account Management programs, or when a team needs to be led toward challenging targets.
  • Turnaround situations: When sales results are declining, the team is unmotivated or underperforming, or when an experienced leader is needed to reverse a negative trend and rebuild success.
