Welcoming Bright Evolve as a Sponsor for Selling South!
Driving Growth Together
Bright Evolve, led by the insightful Tom Bright, will be sponsoring Selling South! This partnership marks a significant alignment of values and a shared passion for transforming the world of sales and business growth.
Bright Evolve is dedicated to fuelling sales with comprehensive sales advisory services, ultimately driving sustainable business growth. They specialise in offering actionable sales strategies for startups, all built upon decades of real-world experience. Their approach isn't just about offering advice; they become an extension of your team, rolling up their sleeves to set businesses up for future growth. Bright Evolve believes that sales and growth often have a "bad reputation," and they are committed to showing "a better way to do things". They embody the belief that "when you’ve got the right strategy, the right team and everyone on the same page, that’s when the magic happens".
Bright Evolve offers a range of services designed to address various growth needs:
Ascent by Bright Evolve provides tailored growth action plans for sales, using a sales action tool that builds scalable growth for early-stage businesses.
Growth Advisory involves working alongside businesses, getting to know their operations and market, to offer advice and create plans that boost revenue based on real-world experience.
For those needing expertise in implementing their sales strategy, Bright Evolve offers Commercial Leadership for Business Growth, providing fractional sales and marketing support to help establish scalable sales functions for long-term profitable, repeatable, and scalable growth.
Beyond strategy, their Sales Onboarding Service helps businesses not just hire, but build the necessary infrastructure to turn a good hire into a great one, supporting the first 3–6 months of onboarding with coaching aligned to business goals.
Their impact is clear through their success stories. For instance, Bright Evolve assisted a SaaS business whose founder, an expert in his domain but not a salesperson, by helping them build their sales strategy and playbook. This collaboration led to landing several six-figure deals and added to their go-to-market strategy, which in turn helped them secure a two million investment. Bright Evolve also supported the recruitment of their sales team. They have also played a "key role" in helping businesses secure funding rounds by ensuring a robust sales strategy and a clear implementation plan were in place.
This sponsorship aligns perfectly with Selling South's mission. As Tom Bright highlights, there's a deep belief that sales is "really important" and often "misunderstood," and that people need to "understand it and appreciate it". Selling South offers a "different" concept compared to a classic sales conference, and with Tom being a "proud Bristolian," the local connection makes this partnership even more special.
We are incredibly excited to have Bright Evolve and Tom Bright on board, bringing their knowledge, experience, and pragmatic approach to our community. Their commitment to unlocking and implementing growth will be invaluable.
