Fractional Head of Sales for B2B companies

I help B2B companies build, professionalize, and accelerate their sales function — so revenue becomes predictable.

Maarten van der Lee

Who I work with

  1. B2B companies between $5M and $100M in revenue

  2. Founder-led companies ready to stop being the only closer

  3. Scale-ups whose sales team is growing faster than their sales process

  4. European B2B tech and IT services companies entering the US market

The problems I solve

Where sales gets stuck

Founder dependency

Sales only works when the founder is in the room.

Unpredictable pipeline

Full CRM, missed forecasts.

CRM nobody uses

The tool exists, the habits don’t.

Unclear product-market fit in sales

Interest, but deals stall.

New market entry

No local network, no proven playbook for the US.

What I do

Five steps, from diagnosis to handover

  1. Diagnose

    Within 2–3 weeks: where deals get stuck, what data says, what the team says.

  2. Design

    Ideal customer profile, value proposition, sales process, KPIs.

  3. Implement

    CRM set up around how people actually sell, so it becomes daily practice.

  4. Lead and coach

    Run the sales rhythm, coach managers and account managers on live deals.

  5. Hand over

    Documented process, and help hiring your full-time sales leader when you’re ready.

What you can expect

A sales process your team actually follows

A pipeline and forecast you can trust in board meetings

Less dependency on the founder or one top performer
