Sales Management, Training and Mentoring Services​

A fractional sales leader provides strategic sales leadership on a part-time or interim basis, enabling organizations to address core functional challenges without the cost of a full-time executive. Their focus lies in optimizing sales processes, aligning go-to-market strategies, enhancing pipeline management, and driving revenue performance. Rather than relying on deep industry-specific knowledge, fractional sales leaders bring a broad range of cross-sector experience and a disciplined, data-driven approach to sales execution. Their value stems from diagnosing systemic issues, implementing repeatable frameworks, and fostering accountability across sales teams. By remaining industry agnostic, they offer objective insights and best practices drawn from diverse markets, allowing organizations to overcome internal inefficiencies and accelerate growth with fresh, external perspectives unconstrained by sector norms.​

Mark Schulert​

I’m a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) and Outsourced VP of Sales who helps business owners grow revenue and increase company value. With decades of executive leadership—CEO of Johnstone Supply, Division President at Watsco—I bring both strategy and execution to the table. I specialize in companies doing $5M–$50M in revenue, especially those without a strong outside sales team. My goal is to partner with owners so that we jointly build sales strategy, structure, and processes so they’re not alone in driving growth. After seeing my own family’s business struggle without a plan, I help others grow sales, build value, and exit on their terms.
