Sales
Someone who defines pipeline stages, runs deal reviews, and makes sure inquiries don't sit. Needed when sales depends on the owner or founder, or when a team works without leadership.
Collaboration · Find partners
Find the expertise your next step is missing.
Some projects need a capability that your own team doesn't have right now: someone who sets up a CRM cleanly, builds an automation, runs campaigns, or steers sales for a while. This page helps you describe the need so that we can clarify together which expertise really fits, from our team or from our network.
Analyze my shop
Initial consultation: we clarify the need before we talk about people.
What expertise is sought for
Five fields where external capability is typically missing
Not a directory, but a framework. It helps you name which kind of skill you need, which is the first step to a meaningful inquiry.
CRM
People who tidy up an existing system or introduce one without turning the tool into a project of its own: fields, stages, required entries, handovers, reports. Experience with the system you already have is what counts.
Automation
Specialists who connect recurring processes between systems, define rules, and handle exceptions cleanly. Good automation starts with a clearly documented process, not with the tool.
Marketing
Campaign management in Google Ads or ChatGPT Ads, landing pages, tracking, content for a clearly defined target audience. Needed: someone who creates demand that sales can actually handle.
Operational steering
Define metrics, establish routines, assign responsibility, keep cash flow in view. This is less about carrying out individual tasks than about leading a function for a limited time.
Selection by criteria
What we base suitable expertise on
Six criteria that make an inquiry answerable. The clearer you describe them, the less often you end up with the wrong person.
| Criterion | Guiding question | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Problem | What isn't working today, and how do you notice? | A clearly named problem rules out who isn't a fit. |
| Existing system | Which CRM, shop, and ad accounts are in use? | Experience with the system determines speed and friction. |
| Measurable goal | How will you know in three months that it worked? | Without a goal there is no acceptance and no honest assessment. |
| Implementation scope | Project, targeted expertise, or ongoing support? | Determines roles, responsibilities, and contract type. |
| Budget range | What order of magnitude is realistic? | Saves both sides conversations that don't fit together. |
| Availability | Fixed appointments, per project, reachable at short notice? | Availability is a criterion, not a given. |
We don't promise that suitable partners are available at any time. We tell you honestly whether and when it fits.
How it works
Three steps from inquiry to collaboration
- 01
Clarify needs
You describe the starting point, goal, timeframe, and existing tech, in the draft below or in the initial consultation. We ask follow-up questions until the problem is precise.
- 02
Define the required competencies
We name which capabilities the project really needs and which it doesn't. Sometimes it's one person, sometimes two roles, sometimes an existing tool is enough.
- 03
Align a concrete collaboration
Only now does it come down to people: who takes on what, how acceptance works, at what cadence reporting happens. The result is a framework documented in writing.
Forms of collaboration
Project, targeted expertise, or ongoing support
The three formats differ mainly in who bears responsibility and how acceptance works.
What the formats mean
- Project implementation: a defined result with start, end, and acceptance criteria, such as a CRM rollout or an automation workflow.
- Targeted expertise: individual days or workshops on a clearly defined question, e.g. a pipeline review or a campaign audit.
- Ongoing support: a role for a period of time with a fixed cadence, such as an external sales leader or a recurring steering routine.
Responsibilities and acceptance
- With every format, there is a named person on your side who makes decisions and signs off.
- Acceptance means: the agreed result is delivered, documented, and reviewed together, not “we delivered hours.”
- Access to systems stays with you; permissions are granted deliberately and withdrawn after the project ends.
- Anything outside the agreed scope is discussed as a change, not quietly absorbed.
Qualified inquiry
Describe your need and we'll work out what fits

Subject: Needs clarification: looking for suitable expertise
Hello Peak Atlas, Area: – Starting point: – Measurable goal: – Timeframe: – Desired implementation scope: – Existing technology: – Budget range (optional): – Required availability: – Name and company: – Please get in touch if you need further details to classify this.
Opens your email program. The message is only sent once you send it from there. Still open: Area, starting point, measurable goal, name and company.
If the form is too much: an initial consultation via /contact leads to the same result.
Frequently asked questions
Clearly answered.
How does Peak Atlas clarify a need for external expertise?
We first clarify your need and then discuss whether Peak Atlas covers it itself or which form of external collaboration might fit.
What should I include in an urgent inquiry?
State the desired timeframe directly in the starting point so your contact can classify the inquiry correctly.
What happens to my details?
The draft is created only in your browser. We receive your details only once you send the email from your own program. Please don't put passwords, access keys, or confidential customer data in the inquiry.
Who bears responsibility when an external person joins the work?
This is set in writing before we begin: who decides, who signs off, who gets which system access. We don't start without this clarification; it is the core of step three.
