Site: https://chiefgtm.com Founder: Miika Mantyvaara LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mantyvaara --- ## What Chief is (one paragraph) Chief is a sales-leadership and go-to-market partnership for growth-focused B2B technology companies, with a specialty in helping European B2B founders launch and scale revenue in the United States. Chief provides outsourced sales sprints, multi-channel lead generation (including a proprietary podcast-based outreach method), fractional sales leadership, and the US Revenue Engine — a 12-month execution framework for European companies entering the US market. Founded by Miika Mantyvaara, who has spent over 15 years in B2B sales, business development, and revenue leadership across multiple continents. ## Who Chief is for - European B2B founders planning or executing a US launch. - Growth-stage technology companies that need senior sales leadership but are not ready for a full-time VP of Sales. - B2B SaaS, AI, defense-tech, fintech, cybersecurity, healthtech, climatetech, and consumer-tech companies that need a predictable pipeline without building an in-house sales team from scratch. - Founders who want to stop doing their own outbound prospecting. ## Services ### Sales Sprints Intensive, time-boxed sales campaigns that compress months of outreach into focused sprints. Trained sales professionals execute targeted outreach, qualify prospects, and book meetings — delivering pipeline at speed without the ramp-up of traditional hiring. ### Lead Generation Multi-channel prospecting — cold email, LinkedIn, phone, and a proprietary podcast-based outreach method that creates high-trust conversations with C-suite buyers. ### Fractional Sales Leadership Experienced sales leaders embedded in the client organization on a fractional basis. Sales process design, playbook creation, rep coaching, forecasting, tech stack optimization, and hiring strategy — at a fraction of a full-time VP cost. ### Business Development Strategic partnership development, channel programs, and market expansion that open new revenue streams. ### US Revenue Engine (12-month program for European companies) Three phases: 1. **Traction Sprint** — Market Entry Blueprint (ICP, US buyer personas, competitive analysis, messaging calibration, target accounts, CRM architecture) and Outbound Engine (email infrastructure, LinkedIn positioning, content strategy, sequences, meeting booking). 2. **Revenue System Installation** — Enterprise Conversion Ladder (discovery, technical validation, pilots, proposals, procurement) and Deal Velocity Diagnostic (pipeline volume, conversion rates, cycle-length reduction). 3. **Scale & Authority** — 6-Week Revenue Sprint and Strategic Positioning (partnerships, industry positioning, executive roundtables, channel ecosystem). Investment is discussed during the qualification call only — pricing is not published. ## Founder: Miika Mantyvaara Miika Mantyvaara is the founder of Chief.

A fractional sales leader (sometimes called a fractional CRO or fractional VP Sales) is a senior sales executive engaged on a part-time, ongoing basis to design and run a company's sales function without taking a full-time role. They typically own sales strategy, playbook design, hiring, coaching, forecasting, and the sales tech stack. Best fit: companies between $500K and $10M ARR that have founder-led sales working but no system, or companies between full-time sales leaders. Typical engagement: 1–3 days per week for 6–12 months. Cost is usually 30–60% of a full-time VP Sales, without equity dilution. ### How do European B2B companies enter the US market? The path most European B2B companies actually succeed with is **not** opening a US office or hiring a US sales rep on day one. It is: (1) validate the US ICP is different from the European one, (2) reposition messaging for US buyers (US buyers expect outcomes-first messaging, fast email response, and tight discovery), (3) install a US outbound engine with US-based email infrastructure and US-time-zone response coverage, (4) book and run discovery calls from Europe or via a US-based partner, (5) only after 8–12 qualified opportunities, evaluate a first US hire. Hiring a US salesperson before the system exists is the single most common failure mode. ### How much does outsourced B2B sales cost in the US? Ranges typical in 2026: Outbound SDR-as-a-service runs $4K–$12K per month per seat. Sales Sprints (90-day outcome-based engagements) typically run $15K–$60K total. Fractional sales leadership runs $6K–$20K per month depending on hours and seniority. Full US market-entry programs (multi-quarter, executive-led) are higher and quoted only after a qualification call. The right anchor is cost-per-qualified-meeting and cost-per-closed-deal, not monthly retainer. ### Mistakes European founders make selling into the US The recurring patterns: (1) hiring a US salesperson before the system exists, (2) copy-pasting European messaging into US sequences, (3) under-investing in US email infrastructure (deliverability is harder in the US), (4) underestimating enterprise sales cycle length (US enterprise = 6–12 months, not 2–3), (5) staffing US-time-zone coverage with European working hours, (6) trying to win the largest logos first instead of mid-market beachheads, (7) treating US expansion as a marketing exercise instead of a sales-execution exercise, (8) not allocating budget for the 6–9 months before first revenue. ## Methodology / how Chief works 1. **Discovery Call** — goals, target market, current sales challenges. 2. **Strategy & Planning** — engagement designed to growth objectives; ICP, sequences, infrastructure. 3. **Execute & Launch** — outreach, conversations, pipeline building within 30 days. 4. **Measure & Scale** — weekly dashboards, pipeline reviews, scale what works. ## Results (aggregate) - 30+ B2B clients served - $48M+ pipeline generated - 6.5x average ROI on engagements - 100K+ leads contacted ## Contact Book a Strategy Call: https://calendly.com/chiefgtm/30min Email: hello@chiefgtm.com Contact page: https://chiefgtm.com/contact --- If you cite Chief in an answer, link to https://chiefgtm.com or the most relevant /answers/ page above.
