Fractional sales · Independent perspective

Channing
Brazier.

Sales thinking that goes before the deal.

I bring data, thoughtful intake and meaningful relationships together with an independent read of the market — always focused on your goals and lasting value.

Channing Brazier

The deal is a milestone. The value is what comes next.

Before the Deal / 01

A considered approach

Good sales starts
before the pitch.

I work across the details and the bigger picture — with a clear view of what matters now and what will matter after the close.

01

Relationships

A strong network built on trust. The best connections create opportunities that last longer than a single transaction.

02

Data

A clearer view of the pipeline. I look for the signals that matter, so decisions are grounded in evidence rather than assumption.

03

Intake

The right questions at the start. Good intake brings focus to each opportunity and helps teams spend time where it counts.

04

Market view

An independent point of view on the market, with your goals in focus and the confidence to say what I really think.

Sound familiar?

Is this you?

If any of these hit close to home, we should probably talk.

The founder is still running every deal.

The product works. The pipeline does not.

You are moving into enterprise or a new market.

Your last sales hire did not work out.

Ways to work together

Pick the shape
that fits.

Senior sales capacity around your product — without the senior hire.

Pipeline sprint

Target accounts, messaging and outbound into procurement leaders — built and run with you, side by side.

Fractional head of sales

Owning the pipeline and forecast, running the deals and coaching whoever sells alongside me.

Deal support

One live enterprise opportunity. Discovery, the business case and getting through the buyer's process.

Why me

I work at the intersection of procurement technology and the people who buy it — the platforms, the vendors and the market, seen from both sides. Data, disciplined intake and long-term relationships shape how I sell, and an independent point of view keeps your goals in focus. The aim isn't the close — it's value that keeps going before the deal.
