Hire the Best Sales Development Freelancers in New York

Hi, I'm Chris, Expert Cold Caller and President of Seloquent, a premium SDR agency built on results, integrity, and world-class outreach. After over 15 years in the SDR and Sales world, I began my journey right here on Upwork as a solo freelancer, specializing in cold calling and appointment setting. Over the years, through consistent performance and client success, I’ve grown from an individual operator into the founder and leader of a small-to-medium-sized agency with 40+ highly trained SDRs delivering exceptional outbound results across multiple industries. I would like to inform you that we do not work on a commission structure for clients we do not have a history with. If you are looking for a commission-only structure, we would not be interested. Today, while I no longer make calls day-to-day, I personally oversee every step of the process, ensuring that each campaign reflects the same quality, professionalism, and results that built my reputation on this platform.

Commercially minded business development professional focused on AI partnerships, automation-led growth, enterprise expansion, project development, and product management. Experienced in opening strategic accounts, building outbound programs from scratch, and positioning technical platforms with executive stakeholders. In my work, I develop new commercial projects from early market insight through execution: identifying opportunities, validating customer needs, shaping the business case, coordinating stakeholders, and turning ideas into structured growth initiatives. I also contribute to product management by translating prospect and customer feedback into product requirements, helping prioritize features, defining value propositions, and working cross-functionally with technical and commercial teams to bring new AI-enabled solutions to market. Best suited for AI GTM, ecosystem, partnership, and product-facing roles that require prospecting discipline, market storytelling, project ownership, customer discovery, and the ability to turn emerging technology into clear revenue outcomes.

As a Sales and Business Development professional, I specialize in helping businesses grow by building qualified pipelines of opportunities through proven lead generation and appointment-setting strategies. With a strong background in Business Development & Consulting, B2B sales and cold calling, I focus on connecting companies with the right prospects, driving measurable results, and saving business owners the time and energy it takes to land high-value conversations. Over the years, I’ve worked with small businesses, franchises, startups, and agencies to develop sales campaigns that cut through the noise. Whether it’s picking up the phone to establish genuine connections, nurturing leads into ready-to-buy prospects, or creating sales processes that support long-term growth, I bring a structured yet personable approach to business development. My expertise includes: Cold Calling & Appointment Setting: Turning first conversations into qualified meetings. B2B Sales Development: Identifying decision-makers, positioning value, and opening doors for partnerships. Lead Generation Campaigns: Targeted outreach strategies that deliver consistent results. Business & Brand Development: Building sales foundations that help companies grow sustainably. What sets me apart is my ability to blend professionalism with approachability. I understand the cultural nuances of selling to clients around the globe, and I use active listening and consultative conversation styles to make prospects feel heard—not sold to. This approach builds trust, strengthens relationships, and leads to higher conversion rates for my clients. If you’re looking for someone who can take ownership of your outreach efforts, represent your brand with integrity, and consistently deliver qualified opportunities, let’s connect. I’d be glad to learn more about your business goals and discuss how I can support your growth.
