Frequently asked questions
General
We are an embedded sales consultancy specialising in the construction and facades sector. Rather than advising from the outside, we become part of your business - working alongside your team to build and execute a structured, systematic approach to sales. That means developing your go-to-market strategy, identifying and targeting the right clients, managing key relationships, and building a pipeline that delivers consistent, measurable growth.
We bring our own network, our sector expertise, and a proven methodology that has been refined across years of working with businesses in structural glazing, cladding, and the wider building envelope market. When our engagement ends, you are not left with nothing. You leave with a fully documented, repeatable sales process, a populated CRM, and the foundations to continue growing independently.
When you hire a salesperson, you are committing to a salary, employer costs, a training period, and the risk that they may not work out. With Livermore Consulting, you get immediate access to a team with decades of sector experience, an established network of contacts across the construction and facades industry, and a structured sales methodology that is ready to deploy from day one. There are no recruitment costs, no onboarding delays, and no dependency on one individual. We operate as a fully functioning embedded sales team, and because we work on a retainer plus commission basis, our success is directly tied to yours.
We work with businesses in what we call the messy middle. These are companies that have a strong product or service and some commercial traction, but have hit a ceiling - usually because growth has been reliant on the founder's personal network and that network has reached its limit. We are particularly well suited to businesses that are growth-mandated, including those backed by private equity or actively seeking investment, where demonstrating a scalable, systematic approach to sales is critical.
We are selective about who we take on. We only work with businesses we genuinely believe in, whose product we are confident we can sell, and who have the operational maturity to handle a significant increase in pipeline. That selectivity is deliberate - our reputation depends on delivering results.
Honestly, it depends. Every business we work with is different, and our approach to pricing reflects the scope of what we are taking on and the value we expect to deliver. What we can tell you is that we work on a retainer plus commission basis, which means our incentives are always aligned with yours. We are not paid simply to show up - we are paid to perform. Get in touch and we will have a straight conversation about what that looks like for your business specifically.
We are based in and around London and the majority of our work is in the London area. That said, we work across the UK where the right opportunity exists, and much of the relationship management and strategic work we do can be conducted remotely. If you are outside London and want to talk about whether we could be a good fit, get in touch and we will have an honest conversation about it.
Our core expertise is in the construction and facades sector, specifically structural glazing, cladding, curtain walling, and building envelope products and services. This is a niche and relationship-driven industry, and our network within it runs deep. That said, the sales methodology we apply - systematic, rigorous, and built around understanding your market and your ideal client - is transferable. As we grow, we are extending our work into adjacent sectors where ambitious, growth-focused businesses need the same structured approach to sales.
Yes, and this is an area we are increasingly focused on. Businesses that are seeking private equity investment, or that have already secured it, face a particular kind of pressure - growth is not optional, it is the whole point. What private equity investors want to see is a scalable, repeatable sales process that does not depend on one person's black book. That is exactly what we build. If you are preparing for investment or managing the expectations of investors who are demanding results, we should talk.
The first step is a discovery call. We will have a straightforward conversation about where your business is now, where you want it to be, and whether we are the right fit for each other. We ask the same questions of every prospective client, because we need to be as confident in you as you are in us. If it is a good fit, we will talk through what an engagement looks like in practice. If it is not, we will tell you that too.
