Good product.Good people.Growth still stalls.

Forge22 finds where revenue is getting stuck, from how buyers find you to how interest becomes a deal. Then we build the fix, run it, and stay until the numbers hold.

Most B2B firms above £10m can sell. Few can create opportunity on demand.

So the same things happen. Experienced salespeople are told to generate their own pipeline and quietly do not. An SDR manager is hired who has never built a function and learns on your payroll. Marketing reports leads that sales will not ring. The forecast turns into a matter of opinion.

None of that is a people problem. It is a missing function. Nobody owns the stretch between "the market exists" and "a qualified buyer is in the room".

We find where it is stuck, then build the fix

Sometimes the gap is positioning, or a website that does not convert. Sometimes it is demand, a sales development function that was never built, or two teams working to different numbers. Forge22 works out which, then designs the fix, staffs it, and runs it day to day until it performs without us.

You get a working operation with a number attached. You do not get a slide deck and a goodbye.

Demand and digital

Jon Billingsley FCIM

Jon founded an eCommerce and digital transformation consultancy in 1999 and has led marketing and digital work at board level for brands including Hackett London, Herman Miller, Seiko and Grenade. He is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing.

Natasha builds the function that turns interest into qualified opportunity. Jon builds the positioning, digital and demand that create the interest. Most firms buy those from two suppliers who never speak. Here they are one piece of work.

See how we work

A good fit, and a poor one

Good fit

B2B firms in technology, IT and managed services, financial services and data, and professional services, with revenue of roughly £10m to £100m and a sales team already in place. Private equity backed businesses, especially after an acquisition.

Poor fit

Firms under about £5m, firms whose real constraint is product or delivery, and anyone looking for a team to make calls on their behalf. We are not an outsourced appointment-setting agency.

Questions we are asked

What does Forge22 do?

Forge22 fixes the commercial engine of B2B firms. That covers positioning, digital and demand, sales development, and the measures that hold marketing and sales to one set of numbers. We build the fix and we run it. Engagements start with a fixed-fee diagnostic.

How is this different from a sales consultancy?

A consultancy typically delivers a recommendation. Forge22 delivers the working function: people hired, tools configured, process running, numbers reported. We stay in the business, part time, until it performs without us.

How long before we see results?

A diagnostic takes two to three weeks. A build takes around 90 days to reach a working team with a live pipeline. The target metric and timescale are agreed in writing before work starts.
