The minds behind the method

Meet the team

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.

    “…they established a strong working relationship with the leadership team and helped us convert a major retail account.”

    Gray Matters came into support us in an interim capacity during a busy time for the business, which saw them manage our new business and marketing team and a host of major pitches over a four month period. During that time, they established a strong working relationship with the leadership team and helped us convert a major retail account.
