Shevlin Marketing Ltd is a direct marketing and sales agency based in Hertfordshire, working with businesses across the UK.
Why we exist
Most small and mid-sized businesses don't have a sales problem in the sense they think they do. They have enough interest — it just arrives unpredictably, gets followed up late, and leaks away before it turns into work. Meanwhile hiring a salesperson costs upwards of £28,000 a year before you've found out whether they're any good.
We're the alternative: a trained, managed sales function you can turn on without carrying the recruitment risk, the ramp-up time or the management overhead.
Who runs it
The agency is led by Ayden Shevlin, built on years working inside marketing and sales agencies — winning customers for companies across construction, utilities, professional services, media and production.
That background shapes how we work: sales first, systems around it, and honesty about what's actually moving. No jargon, no inflated promises.
Selected work
Sales systems, built in-house
We designed and built the CRM and pipeline system that runs client acquisition for a London social-first production company — prospect scoring, configurable deal stages, team training and reporting, in one platform.
We don't just run outbound. We build the machinery behind it.
How we work
Diagnose
We look at how you win customers today and where it breaks down — the outreach, the follow-up, the moments deals slip.
Build
We build what moves it forward: the team, the scripts, the systems, and the website and content that support them.
Run
We run the campaigns, manage the reps, track performance and report back — including when something isn't working.
Review
First performance review at week two, not month three. If it isn't earning its keep, you'll hear it from us first.
What we believe
- Commit to process, not promises. We'll tell you what we'll do and report on whether we did it. Anyone guaranteeing revenue is guessing.
- Compliance isn't optional. Screened data, honoured opt-outs, accurate claims. Done properly or not at all.
- Honest exits beat forced sales. Telling someone we're not the right fit costs us one deal and earns the referrals that follow.
