Client Results

Nick Vonella’s work is designed around measurable sales and revenue outcomes—not indefinite advisory hours. He diagnoses the constraint, builds and tests the strategy, leads and trains the team, installs the necessary management system, and reduces his involvement once the company can sustain the work.

The following results come from real client engagements. Company identities are withheld where required by confidentiality obligations.

Building a New B2B Sales Motion: $2M+ in Signed Annualized Business

The challenge: A B2B construction company had made a previous internal attempt to enter a new market segment but had not built a sales motion capable of gaining meaningful traction.

Nick’s role: Nick was engaged as a sales consultant for a defined period to own the development and testing of the new segment strategy. He built the sales approach, led and trained a dedicated two-person sales team, and refined the motion through direct market feedback.

The result: The team generated more than $2 million in fully executed annualized business within six months, using two sales representatives and no segment-specific marketing spend.

This engagement illustrates Nick’s build-and-transfer model: develop the strategy, prove it in the market, train the people responsible for execution, and leave the company with a sales motion it can continue scaling.

Rebuilding a Mid-Market SaaS Sales Process

The challenge: A mid-market SaaS company had an inconsistent sales process, a weak starting close rate, and a sales cycle that was taking too long. The company needed more than additional activity; it needed a consistent system that management could inspect and improve.

Nick’s role: The engagement began with a sales audit. Nick standardized the sales process, clarified expectations, strengthened pipeline management, and helped establish a more consistent operating rhythm for the team.

The result: The company improved its close rate by 40% from its previously weak baseline and shortened its sales cycle by 25%. The company also reached its quarterly and annual revenue goals.

The lesson was not that one script or technology solved the problem. Performance improved because the team and its leadership began operating from the same process and standards.

Restructuring a Healthcare Software Sales Team

The challenge: A healthcare software company was struggling with inconsistent execution, weak conversion, unclear messaging, poor KPI visibility, uneven lead quality, and limited compliance with the existing sales process.

Nick’s role: Nick diagnosed the performance gaps and led a broader rebuild involving the team, sales framework, messaging, KPI tracking, lead-quality standards, and management accountability. This included making necessary personnel changes and hiring new representatives.

The result: Lead conversion increased by 30%, the average sales cycle shortened by two weeks, and revenue grew by 38% over the following 18 months.

This was not a recommendation delivered from the sidelines. The work required hands-on leadership, implementation, training, performance management, and continued support while the company strengthened its internal capabilities.

Doubling Revenue Across a Distribution Sales Team

The challenge: A distribution company’s sales team lacked consistent structure, shared goals, performance visibility, clear lead distribution, and an effective management cadence.

Nick’s role: Nick introduced a defined sales process, team goals, performance dashboards, structured meetings, clearer lead routing, and stronger accountability. He also helped leadership address personnel and performance issues that were preventing the team from executing consistently.

The result: Revenue doubled within one year.

The improvement came from aligning the people, process, management expectations, and performance information around a common revenue objective.

Is This Type of Engagement Right for Your Company?

MANSales is best suited to established companies that have genuine market demand and a meaningful sales or revenue problem, but lack the leadership, process, or operating discipline required to produce consistent results.

Common signs include:

• An existing sales team repeatedly misses its targets
• The pipeline appears active but forecasts remain unreliable
• Sales performance depends heavily on the founder or one top representative
• Hiring additional salespeople has not created predictable growth
• Follow-up, qualification, and stage standards vary across the team
• Leadership cannot confidently identify where revenue is leaking
