If you run a serious B2B company offering high-value services, you already know what you bring to the market. The question is — are the right prospects finding you, and are those conversations closing into revenue? That's exactly where we come in. I'm Chris Frazier with FBD Company. With 25+ years of experience and $1M+ in proven platform earnings, I'm an Expert-Vetted Sales Closer and Revenue Strategist who partners with established entrepreneurs and professional service firms to negotiate and close enterprise-level, high-ticket deals. How I Work Our model is built on performance and partnership. We require that clients come to the table with qualified appointments booked — we take those meetings, execute the sales process, and close the deals. We charge a baseline fee for deal execution and earn commission on closed outcomes. That structure keeps both parties fully aligned and committed to results. Who I Work With We work with serious entrepreneurs and established organizations who understand what it takes to build a strong company. Our partners know how to invest in the right resources, tools, and team to create real value in the marketplace. If you're committed to enterprise-level growth and ready to close high-ticket deals — we should talk. What I Deliver - Offer refinement so your services are positioned to close at the highest level - Enterprise sales execution — we take your qualified meetings and close them - Deal negotiation at the highest level of your market - Revenue strategy aligned to your growth targets - Performance-based partnership — we win when you win To Start Message me here on Upwork or send an invite to connect. I'll review your current sales environment, identify the right fit, and determine next steps. If you're generating interest but not closing it into consistent high-ticket revenue — let's talk.

If you're a founder preparing for a raise, an operator running scenario planning, or a deal team underwriting an acquisition, you already know the model has to be right. Imprecise assumptions and poorly structured outputs don't just slow things down, they cost you credibility at the worst possible moment. I build financial models that founders can put in front of investors, operators can make real decisions from, and deal teams can defend in a room. Every model is assumption-driven, stress-tested, and built so you can update inputs and see the impact instantly without touching a formula. WHAT I BUILD: - Startup and growth models for seed through Series B raises - 3-statement integrated financial models and forecasts - Acquisition and buy-side underwriting models - Unit economics, cohort analysis, and LTV:CAC modeling - Rolling forecasts and cash runway models - KPI dashboards and executive reporting WHO I WORK WITH: Founders preparing for investor conversations, operators running growth and scenario planning, CFOs needing overflow modeling support, and deal teams underwriting acquisitions. I've supported numerous businesses across a wide range of industries but primarily specialize in AI, SaaS, D2C, services, and franchise verticals. HOW I WORK: I operate like an embedded finance partner: fast-moving, strategic, and data-driven. I return clean, client-ready deliverables on a tight timeline. Most engagements are up and running within 24 hours of scope confirmation and are ready for review within 72 hours.
