Most outreach tools were built for SaaS sales teams. We built one for the way independent consultants and fractional execs actually win clients - under their own name, through their own LinkedIn, without cold calling or chasing referrals.
If you're an independent consultant or fractional exec in the UK, you already know the pipeline problem. The work is great when it's there. But getting it there is the hardest, least-trained, least-talked-about part of running the consultancy. You don't want to "do marketing." You want a phone that rings with the right people on the other end. PeoplePipeline exists because we got tired of watching brilliant independent consultants and fractional execs quietly burn out chasing referrals that didn't come, posting on LinkedIn into the void, and undercutting their day rate just to keep the lights on.
We spent time talking to independent consultants and fractional execs across the UK before we built anything. The same pattern came up over and over. A consultant would win a great client. They'd deliver brilliant work for six to nine months. Then the project would wind down, and they'd realise they had nothing else booked. They'd panic, post some content, message their network, drop their rate to win something quick. They'd land a smaller piece of work, breathe out, and the cycle would start again. Feast or famine. Months of overwork followed by months of dread.
The honest reason this happens is simple: most independent consultants don't have a system for outbound. They have referrals - wonderful, but unreliable. They have a LinkedIn presence - which compounds slowly. What they're missing is a way to consistently put themselves in front of MDs, Founders and Finance Directors who actually have a live need right now, without it eating eight hours of their week.
PeoplePipeline runs managed LinkedIn outreach for UK independent consultants and fractional execs - HR, finance, employment law, marketing, L&D, ops, strategy - who know their craft, want a steadier pipeline, and don't want to learn cold outreach at the same time as running a business. We send connection requests to MDs, Founders and Finance Directors at UK companies with 20 to 150 employees - under your LinkedIn profile, not ours. When prospects engage, we work the conversation and book a 15-minute intro call directly into your calendar. You take the call. You own the relationship from the first message.
Every connection, every conversation, every relationship stays with you. We're not building a network we control and lending it to you. We're building your network, in your name. That means the prospect who replies has already connected with you on LinkedIn before they ever speak to you. They know your name. The conversation is yours from the start. That's the only way it should work.
On the £99 trial: if we don't book at least 3 intro calls into your calendar in 30 days, you pay nothing. On Outreach and Pipeline subscriptions: if we miss the connection volume and reply-handling commitment in any month, you don't pay for it. We only take on clients we genuinely believe we can deliver for. If we don't think your specialism or geography is a fit, we tell you upfront and refund immediately.
PeoplePipeline is run by Aaron Thorley out of the UK. The product was built after extended conversations with independent consultants and fractional execs across England, Wales, and Scotland. We're a registered UK limited company. Our company number is 17188424 and our registered office is 4 Castle Mount, St. Valerie Road, Bournemouth, BH2 6PQ. If you ever want to email me personally, it's hello@peoplepipeline.store and I read every message myself.
We launched publicly in May 2026. We're building case studies one client at a time, and we'd rather earn your trust by delivering than by stretching the truth about how long we've been around. Founding members get our full attention as we build. If you're tired of feast-or-famine and want a consistent second channel that doesn't eat your week, try it for £99 and see the system working before you commit to anything more.
