18 | Management Consulting Awards 2025 Best Sales Performance Consultancy 2025 – Midwest USA & Excellence Award for Fractional Sales Management Services 2025 A Master Craftsman Approach to Sales Performance After a career leading sales teams and driving growth for companies in competitive industries—including energy, technology, and professional services—founder and president Mike Lindert launched Strategic Elevation LLC to serve a critical market need: helping owners build scalable sales organisations without the cost and risk of a full-time executive hire. Guided by the principle of “measure twice, cut once,” Strategic Elevation applies a master craftsman’s discipline to diagnosing root causes, designing the right “sales engine,” and ensuring each client’s sales organisation is built to last. Mike’s expertise lies in quickly identifying gaps in sales process, talent, and infrastructure—and then equipping business owners with the systems, tools, and leadership cadence required to accelerate results. Beyond Sales Strategy: Building the Right Engine While most companies seek help to “grow sales,” Strategic Elevation focuses on building the conditions that enable growth. Every engagement addresses four critical dimensions of sales effectiveness: • Sales Strategy – setting the right direction for profitable growth • Sales Organisation – aligning roles, structure, and talent to the strategy • Sales Methodology – embedding repeatable processes and customer engagement approaches • Sales Analytics – establishing the metrics and discipline that drive accountability Together, these disciplines form the blueprint for long-term success. Whether the challenge is evolving from an entrepreneurial-led model to a professionally run organisation, refreshing an outdated sales structure, or preparing for an ownership transition or private-equity exit, Strategic Elevation provides a proven roadmap. Powered by Sales Xceleration Since 2021, Strategic Elevation has been an authorised licensee of Sales Xceleration (SX), the largest fractional sales leadership organisation in the US. This partnership enables Mike to combine his 30+ years of experience with SX’s proven methodology, tools, and national network. The results speak volumes: on average, clients see a 32% increase in sales within the first year of engagement. Equally important, the fractional model allows companies to access seasoned executive leadership at a fraction of the cost of a full-time VP of Sales—delivering both financial efficiency and transformative impact. Teaching, Not Just Doing Engagements typically last six to twelve months, during which Mike integrates into the client’s leadership team, stabilises and strengthens the sales function, and equips the organisation with a sustainable cadence of accountability, teamwork, and urgency. Once the systems, processes, and people are in place, Strategic Elevation transitions out—leaving the business with the confidence, discipline, and capability to continue growing independently. This “teach, not just do” philosophy is core to the firm’s mission: empowering business owners and their teams to sustain high performance long after the engagement ends.
