Frequently Asked Questions:
What does a Strategic Sales Consultant do?
A Strategic Sales Consultant works with leadership on long sales cycles, complex multi-stakeholder deals, and high-ACV opportunities. They craft the narrative, build the business case, and run the executive engagement. Often a senior IC or fractional advisor, not a manager.
How much does it cost to hire a Strategic Sales Consultant?
The role commands premium pay in the U.S. but talented professionals in Latin America deliver the same work for a fraction of the cost. The role earns an average U.S. salary of $12,250 per month compared with an average Latin American salary of $3,500 per month, creating potential savings of up to 71%. LatAm has a deep talent pool, with experienced professionals across Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico, many with several years of experience supporting U.S. teams.
Can a U.S.-based company hire a remote Strategic Sales Consultant from Latin America?
Yes. South contracts the Strategic Sales Consultant locally, handles compliance and payroll, and bills you monthly. The hire joins your tools (Slack, Jira, GitHub, CRM) on day one. Time-zone alignment with the U.S. is the biggest unlock: real-time collaboration, same-day decisions, and none of the overnight handoffs you get when hiring in EMEA or APAC.
What skills should I look for when hiring a Strategic Sales Consultant?
Fifteen-plus years of enterprise sales, multiple deals over seven figures closed, and fluency in at least one rigorous methodology (MEDDIC, Force Management, Challenger). Look for someone who can write a board-ready deal narrative, not just a forecast comment.
What tools and software should a Strategic Sales Consultant know?
Salesforce or HubSpot CRM, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Gong or Chorus, ZoomInfo, Clari, and document tools like Google Docs or Notion for deal narratives.
How is a Strategic Sales Consultant different from a Account Executive?
An Account Executive carries a quota and runs many deals end-to-end. A Strategic Sales Consultant focuses on a small number of high-value, complex deals and partners with executives on positioning, narrative, and stakeholder strategy. Hire a Consultant when you have one or two whales that need senior craft, not when you need broad pipeline coverage.
