Scenario 02
Now, full-time
A large tender or partnership negotiation needs full-time senior commercial leadership.
Scenario 03
Long term
A part-time chief commercial officer works set days each week, suited to a business with a working sales team that needs senior commercial direction.

07/ before you brief
Before you buy chief commercial officer services what to decide first

Write down the three decisions the chief commercial officer will own in the next ninety days.

The neighbours.
The CCO owns commercial terms and partnerships as well as sales; the CRO focuses on the revenue funnel; the commercial director is often the same brief one level down.
The checks.
The UK professional body for sales and commercial leaders: see the Institute of Sales Professionals.
For a contractor engagement, agree how it will run in practice, because that decides IR35 status; HMRC’s guidance for clients sets out who makes the determination.
