About Client Match
Welcome to Client Match, your partner for practical sales, marketing, and business growth solutions tailored to small and medium-sized businesses.
With over 25 years of first-hand experience in sales and marketing, I've developed Client Match through my own SME agencies and consultancies.
It is the product of real-world insights gathered from collaborations with industry experts and a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by SME B2Bs, and professional service businesses.
You're not a start-up anymore, but you're not a corporate giant either.
I understand that what works for a new small business is not suitable for your established enterprise, and mimicking the strategies of larger corporations won't work for you either.
My approach is grounded in providing you with SME focused strategies, user-friendly software solutions, hands-on support, and training to complement the progress you've made as an already successful business.
Wishing you continued success.
Chris Middleton
Founder - Client Match
After working with B2B SMEs for over 25 years, I know the difficulties of building successful sales teams and working with outsourced agencies.
If you would like to talk through any sales and marketing questions you may have, feel free to get in touch for a chat.
I provide only actionable advice I will not put you through some awful persuasive pitch.
I want you to succeed, so take a look at my Echo Connect Strategy a very powerful tool in my Client Match system.
If you implement this strategy you will have achieved what most SME businesses don't...
A clever strategy that brings in all the leads you need, without being costly, overwhelming or requiring an expensive and complicated outsourced agency process.
Most marketing starts too late.
Before tactics. Before funnels. Before content and channels… you need to understand how people actually make decisions.
If you skip this foundation—or guess at it—every strategy built on top of it becomes fragile, inefficient, and far more expensive than it needs to be.
That’s where I come in.
I help B2B businesses design marketing and sales systems that are built from the ground up on how human decision-making actually works. When you align your messaging, outreach and positioning with the way real people think, filter, and buy—you don’t need aggressive sales techniques or bloated marketing teams.
You just need a system that makes sense to the buyer.
Marketing that ignores decision-making psychology ends up relying on:
❌ Costly salespeople
❌ Over-engineered funnels
❌ Hard-to-measure campaigns
❌ Increasingly aggressive persuasion
It’s inefficient, frustrating—and worst of all, it’s not how customers want to buy.
My clients are B2B businesses looking for real growth—not short-term tactics that fizzle out. They usually fall into one of two categories:
Business owners and leaders who already think long-term and want a marketing system that reflects their commitment to quality, reputation, and sustainable sales.
Businesses that tried every "growth hack" and lead-gen trick, only to realise that tactics alone don’t create a steady flow of high-value clients. They’re ready for a smarter, structured approach.
On the open market, hiring a Sales and Marketing Director could cost your company £100K+ per year, and that’s before you factor in the team, tools, and execution.
With me, you get 25 years of experience, a full tailored strategy, and the entire system implemented—at a quarter of the cost of a junior marketer.
If you’ve ever felt like marketing agencies are selling tactics instead of strategy, you’re not alone.
My approach is different. I don’t chase vanity metrics—I focus on aligning your marketing with the way your buyers actually make decisions and creating a system that drives real, sustainable results.
The traditional marketing funnel assumes buyers move in a straight line from awareness to purchase. They don’t.
B2B buyers consume information non-linearly, making decisions based on repeated exposure, trust, and problem recognition.
I help you build quality-demand that works with human nature, not against it. My Client Match Framework ensures you’re reaching the right buyers at the right time, using:
✅ Strategic Positioning – Clarifying who your best customers are and how to position your business as the obvious choice. Targeting the right minds, not just any leads. Positioning your offer as the best and most logical choice compared to competitors.
✅ Buyer Psychology & Messaging – Crafting marketing that speaks directly to how real people think, filter information, and make decisions. By understanding how your audiences mental shortcuts work, you can build a strategy that works with human nature, not against it.
✅ Scalable Outreach & Automation – Leveraging targeted LinkedIn, email, and ad campaigns to create a consistent flow of engaged prospects. Structuring micro-engagements that lead prospects naturally toward a ‘yes.’
✅ Multi-Asset Trust Building – Developing educational content, case studies, and authority-building assets that naturally move buyers toward you. Ensuring that messaging is easy to digest, eliminating over-complicated sales pitches.
✅Priming & Pre-Suasion – Structuring content to make prospects feel like working with you was their idea all along. We don’t force sales—we guide prospects naturally towards the right choice using proven behavioural science techniques.
I don’t do high-volume, low-quality lead generation. I don’t push marketing fads. I don’t sell tactics without strategy.
I work with businesses that want to think differently about how they attract and convert buyers.
If you’re ready to build a smarter, more human system for attracting the right clients—one that doesn’t rely on manipulation or high-pressure sales—I’d love to talk.
It cost nothing to talk to me and costs less than a quarter of a sales persons salary (as a one off cost) to work with me.
Why Client Match?
The Approach. Professional SME businesses need something more than the "quick fix" hacks seen on social media. And copying what Big brands do won't work either.

Certainty. Wake up each morning knowing your sales pipeline has everything you need to pay the bills and more. Certainty in sales provides options. Grow. Invest. Manage from a distance. Sell.
World-class Team. With it's simple to follow training instructions and follow on training support you can build your own team and not rely on expensive outsourced agencies.
How it's Done?

Sell/Franchise. With a business that has documented processes, a unique to the market place offer and results system and a guaranteed sales pipeline your business is ready to sell or expand.
