Meet the team

The minds behind the method

We’ve all run agencies, led sales teams, or built client relationships from scratch.
Now we’re taking everything we’ve learned and giving it to you without the decade of pain.

We’ve lived the chaos, built the system and made it scalable

Between us, we’ve navigated countless pitches, mastered CRM systems, and stayed up late refining proposals, then transformed those experiences into a methodology that actually works for founder-led businesses.

Adam Graham

FOUNDER
After 15 years of building and scaling creative businesses, Adam developed a controversial opinion: sales doesn’t have to suck. He founded Gray Matters to prove it, combining his background in psychology with hard-earned business development experience to create systems that feel natural, not forced.

Yes, I would recommend. They work on ‘everything’ for us, from BD to strategy to event support.”

In our experience they’re different to other new biz agency’s because they don’t feel outsourced - they feel like an extension of the team so stuff happens very organically. We have experienced people on our account and the of communication lines are very open and honest with Adam and the team, so if we’re considering something we will value their feedback before we launch it and they are regularly forthcoming with proactive ideas, too.

“The team’s work is now core to our working practices...”

We engaged Gray Matters to help us validate and develop our thinking around New Business, and to help us improve our ways of working and team alignment. Their interrogation of all areas of our Sales & Marketing processes helped us unearth strengths and weaknesses which we were able to tackle together; ultimately enabling us to have a very strong start to the year! The team’s work is now core to our working practices and we’d like to thank Adam and Ivan for their honest feedback and excellent support!
— Pattrick Affleck, CEO Havas Media
"Working with Gray Matters has been transformational for our proactive new business efforts. "

They’ve helped us put in place a RevOps tech stack, including implementing a new CRM and outreach automation tools. They advise us on lead gen campaign strategies, segmentation approaches and how to craft outbound copy. Thanks to this, we’ve booked meetings with dream prospects. Some of these meetings haven’t just been conversations, they’ve converted into meaningful work. Gray Matters also work closely with our marketing team to drive engagement around events and webinars, ensuring our outreach efforts are joined up across departments. When we hired in-house, they supported onboarding and handovers, making them a truly embedded and valued part of the team.
