Case Studies

Sales Gap

With over 50 years of successful business in Texas, a food service company recognized that extra support was necessary to overcome gaps in revenue and infrastructure. As CEO-led sales became unsustainable, they sought outside expertise. Despite the 40-day-long challenges of the global pandemic, they remained confident, focusing on short-term survival and future opportunities post-Covid.

Sales Strategy

With John’s leadership, the company confidently embraced a strategy and plan, allowing for a smooth transition in ownership. The Fraction / Outsourced model was a low-risk choice that further instilled confidence in the company’s future success.

Trusted by Clients Who’ve Seen Real Results

For any organization seeking a partner who can deliver real impact across the board, I wholeheartedly recommend John Spencer.

Lynn Yuan
CEO, Real International

John was referred to us as an expert in the channel. We need his sales expertise. The scope immediately broadened to all aspects of our business, from VP of Sales to CXO! We realized margin improvement, revenue improvement and a clearer direction forward, all during a Global Pandemic and supply chain challenge!

Andy Blanton
Family Office COO

 

We engaged John Spencer as our Outsourced VP of Sales a month prior to the pandemic. We maintained key accounts, retained our top sellers, and prepared for 2021. By Q1 of 2021 we were recruiting and growing again. The sales infrastructure like the weekly sales meetings, KPIs and CRM kept the Sales team focused and looking forward. John became part of our senior staff and contributed to all elements of the company given his broad experience. I recommend companies consider a Fractional or Outsourced Sales leader as the next logical step to advance the sales vertical, prior to hiring full-time.

Paul Brown
President Mcliff

For the past three months I have had the privilege of working closely with John Spencer.  He is a brilliant Fractional VP of Sales . I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I am with his expertise and dedication to driving sales and marketing success.

His ability to grasp the intricacies of the IT Managed Services Provider industry and apply his knowledge to CMIT Solution’s specific needs was truly remarkable.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Clear Direction Sales Development as a Fractional VP of Sales. 

Yusuf Ujjainwala
President, CMIT Solutions

Clear Direction Sales and John Spencer is exceptional! Most consultants have never really worked a business day to day as an actual operator or executive, that is not the case with John Spencer. John has worked in the c-suite at the highest level and has helped 10x growth for companies leading to market leadership and meaningful exits. John knows what he’s talking about and is battle tested. You will find him to be insightful and will provide practical step by step plans to help any business go to the next level. Highly recommend him as a human being and a professional
