Expertise and services
The work.
01
Market strategy
Develop and execute the plan to enter, penetrate, and win a market — not a slide deck that sits on a shelf.
02
Pipeline and demand
Build and grow deal pipelines with disciplined lead generation and true executive access.
03
International expansion
Carrier, OEM, and enterprise entry across North America, Europe, and Asia.
04
Sales organization
Recruit and vet sales talent. Implement process. Train the team that has to carry it.
05
Contracts and negotiation
Complex relationship and sales contract creation, from term sheet to signature.
06
Fractional sales leadership
Kickstart, supplement, or stand in for a Sales VP while the company gets built.
Fitting into your growth
Meet the company where it actually is.
Crucis is not a retained search, and it is not a junior bench. It is senior commercial leadership — principal-led, sized to the phase you are in.
Pre-revenue to first customers
Formation
The founder is the entire sales function. Every week on the road is a week the company is not being built.
How Crucis fits
Crucis takes the early conversations, sharpens the value proposition, and stands up the first pipeline so the CEO can return to the product, the raise, and the team.
Industry targets
Markets known from the inside.
Decades selling into operators, OEMs, and the platforms they depend on — not a generalist overlay on a market learned last quarter.
Telecommunications & wireless
Carriers, MVNOs, and the vendors who sell into them.
Mobile, device, and OEM
Handset, silicon, and the software that ships on them.
Conversational AI & voice
Speech, assistants, and the platforms operators actually deploy.
Broadband & connected home
Access, support, and the experience after the truck rolls.
Automotive & consumer electronics
Embedded, aftermarket, and the long design-win cycle.
Enterprise collaboration & SaaS
The rooms where IT, security, and the line of business have to agree.
