I initiate an outbound campaign that produces qualified conversations in week one. Recent findings, including a cold-only case snapshot, are recorded in my portfolio. I roll up my sleeves and work with founders and operators to drive pipeline quickly through actual outbound execution, not just theory. What I Do • Cold email, SMS, and voice drop campaigns • Warm lead reactivation and list monetization • Message testing and rapid iteration • Early pipeline development for SaaS and service-based companies No fluff. No bloated playbooks. Just outreach that gets replies and books conversations. Recent Early-Stage Results • Multiple positive responses and same-week calls from warm reactivation using voice drops • A qualified cold outbound opportunity created in ~10 hours on a brand-new campaign • Multiple outbound campaigns running simultaneously with $0 ad spend (These are detailed in my portfolio.) When I’m a Good Fit • You need conversations booked now, not “eventually” • You have a list (or need help building one) and want it worked properly • You value speed, clarity, and straightforward communication • You want someone who executes and adapts in real time When I’m Not a Fit • You want copy without volume or testing • You want decks instead of conversations • You expect guaranteed closes without iteration How I Work Launch quickly. Listen to real objections. Refine messaging. Create opportunities early. This keeps costs low and momentum high. If you’re looking for proof-driven outbound execution and early pipeline traction, review the portfolio snapshot and let’s discuss timelines.

6/9/26 UPDATE: LOOKING FOR ANYTHING B/W 1-6HRS/DAY WEEKDAYS FROM ~1PM-9PM EST, FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE MUST & ANYTHING ON THE WEEKENDS, OPEN HRS; See profile below, Thank you: ☎️🔥Hello, my name is Jesse Creel, and I Am: B2B Sales & Business Development. I like sales, esp. B2B. I have a lot of positive energy, a good attitude and I’m fun to talk to. Because of that people are drawn to speak with me. I’m very good at getting the owners of small businesses on the phone and get along very well with executives of larger companies, CEO’s, CFO’s. I make 15-20 calls an hour for most jobs. You can expect to see a baseline number of appointments and sales from me on a daily/weekly/monthly basis, consistently. If the prospect gives me an opportunity to continue speaking then I'll always try to figure out a way to take their no into a yes, just stay on the phone with them and keep them talking. I also have experience with video sales calls, closing high ticket sales ($10k+); As well as LinkedIn outreach and email marketing (both 1-1 and mass mail).. I've turned a “not interested” into a $1000 sale before, on the very first cold call I ever made to the guy. I can sell even when they say no. I'm very good at adapting scripts to my own personality. And I take a lot of enjoyment out of producing great results. That is the best. And I have a lot of experience adjusting scripts for the different companies I've worked for to produce better results. Most of the time it's worked! My customer support on the back end is quick and thorough. I’m always trying to get better at my job. I push hard thru a lull until it’s over. And I do huge follow up. I have worked in various industries since I have been freelancing including: AI answering services, Google PPC Marketing Services, Health Care i.e. Doctors, Dentists, Chiropractors, Solar, SaaS, Real Estate Pay Per Lead Services & Immigration Law for Extraordinary Ppl. As far as the conversions go, I also want to make sure my customers get the support they need and deliver on a good product that has a lot of value, with incentives for them signing up. I'm a great appointment setter especially when the appt offers a freebie at the end for the prospect to keep either way. That works really well for me. Same with sales & closing freebies. As far as the CRMs I’ve used: HUBSPOT (My specialty, most exp/expertise) Go High Level Follow Up Boss Five-Nine Iris Custom, Client Made CRMs Others I have my own, upgraded Hubspot CRM available, if necessary you don't need to have your own crm and dialer, I can provide that for you. I’m also fine using Google Sheets and can integrate. If you already have a CRM that's great too. As far as what I have achieved since 2022: Prior to freelancing: 1. 3-5 Appointments per day in a call center Payment Processing. 2. Best in Class/Top of Class Sales, Payment Processing. Various prizes awarded for number and volume of deals. As a freelancer: 1. Taking $100, $500, $1000 payments over the phone on a weekly basis. 2. Top result, Secured $10k monthly subscription. 3. Produced $15k+ recurring stream of rev for real estate ppl service in 4 months. 3. 5-7 Appointments per day in a 4 hour window pitching pharmaceutical reps. 35/wk 4. Made my way into consistently producing at a HIGH TICKET LEVEL, $10k-11k service for a Law Firm via: Video Sales Calls. Produced $150k in new biz. I work best on a flat hourly rate, currently $50/hr. This is where I will produce most, and most consistently. Looking for long term relationships, win/win. All I ask you is, before you leave this page, send me a message. There's no obligation, it's just a chat. And no matter what you decide to do- I'll make sure it's worth your time. Thank you, Jesse Creel Educational Material: -”The Sound of Your Voice” Dr. Carol Fleming, a renowned speech pathologist and communication consultant. A practical guide to improving vocal presence and communication skills. -”The Academy of Master Closing” by Tom Hopkins. Designed for sales professionals who want to sharpen their edge and boost conversions. Along with those two, I've read hundreds of various books on sales, marketing and personal development. One of my favorites was “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” by Harv Eker along with the classics “Think and Grow Rich” and “The Richest Man in Babylon”. I also like Tony Robbins, Og Mandino, Tim Ferriss, Jim Rohn and Brian Tracy. I've also listened to a ton of podcasts and various audio programs as well as videos. I’ve studied a lot. Thanks Again!🔥🚀☎️

- Over 17 Years in Sales and Business Development. A former business owner, Radio Group Manager, Sales Coach, and Business Sales Consultant. - Highest earner in sales with multiple companies led to making a bigger impact on revenues by training a few thousand agents in a specific sales process. - Managing radio groups led to working directly with many business owners, CEOs, Marketing Managers, and more. - I can assist Business owners/Entrepreneurs involved with startups that need to generate revenue, to the well established company looking to branch out and expand. - One of my top strengths is with the psychology of sales, objections, rebuttals, and teaching people how to turn a "NO!" to a "YES!". - Businesses that use sales people as a means to close B2B, B2C, and DRM, often rely on sales people to use their judgement on prospects. One key issue found is that the sales person tends to believe objections and let potential sales fall through. - Data review, Quarterly earnings, ROI, business strategy, plan development, and taking businesses to their next phase is what I enjoy doing.
