PLEASE NOTE: I am only interested in closing inbound leads, not outbound or cold calling. I understand this position is commission-only, which is why my hourly rate appears low—it didn’t offer an option for commission-only. About me: If you’re a small business in the coaching industry selling a course and looking to scale, I’d love to help you grow. At Uplift Rev, my focus is on supporting businesses like yours by providing professionally trained, U.S.-based sales representatives who are not just skilled closers but true extensions of your brand. One of my coaching clients is currently seeing a 70-80% close rate, and I’m excited to help more coaches achieve similar success as I continue to grow my business. You’re a great client for me if you: • Already have a process in place. • Attract strong, action-taking inbound leads who are ready to move forward. • Are a coach who wants to focus on content creation and not selling. • Need someone to ensure the money you’re spending on paid advertising actually converts into paying customers. If you don’t have a process in place, no worries! I have a partnership with FG Funnels and can set up a proven system that reflects success, drives lead qualification, and ultimately leads to closing. With over 17 years of experience in startup SaaS sales and B2C sales. I’m certified in Challenger Sales, MEDDPIC, and Command of the Message. I’ve worked with some of the biggest names, such as Nike and Kendra Scott, and have led teams to exceed revenue goals by 150% quarter over quarter. Since starting Uplift Rev, I’ve driven 3x revenue growth in the first year, and I’m passionate about helping small businesses thrive. Let’s work together to ensure your business grows while you stay focused on doing what you love. Whether you’re ready to scale your current process or need help setting one up, I’m here to help. Let’s make it rain together! I’m always open to connecting via call, text, email, or LinkedIn.

If your pipeline is inconsistent, your outreach isn't converting, or your sales team isn't hitting targets—that's exactly the problem I solve. I'm a B2B Sales Systems Expert with 18+ years of experience helping SaaS companies, agencies, and B2B service firms build outbound engines that generate opportunities consistently—not occasionally. I work with clients across the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and international markets, providing structured reporting, proactive communication, and reliable execution. Results delivered: - Generated 100+ qualified meetings in 30 days for a SaaS launch campaign. - Supported sales cycles ranging from $10K to $200K+ across SaaS, agency, and service businesses. - Reduced CRM administration by 40% through automation and workflow redesign. - Trained 100+ SDRs and closers using structured playbooks. I build repeatable systems—combining lead generation, sales management, and CRM automation—so your pipeline grows predictably without depending on one person or channel. What I handle: - ICP prospect list building and multi-channel outreach (cold email + LinkedIn) - Sales team management, training, coaching, and performance improvement - CRM setup and optimization (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, GoHighLevel) - Pipeline development, deal tracking, and GTM strategy - Outreach automation (Apollo, Sales Navigator, n8n, AI-assisted workflows) Best fit: Founders, CEOs, and revenue leaders who need someone who thinks like a sales director and executes like a specialist. Services: ✅ B2B Lead Generation & Appointment Setting I build ICP-focused prospect lists, cold email sequences, and LinkedIn outreach flows that move prospects from connection to booked call. Structured follow-ups across every touchpoint ensure no opportunity slips through. Result: qualified meetings on your calendar, not just activity. ✅ Sales Management & Team Leadership I manage, train, and coach SDRs and closers using practical frameworks—not theory. From pipeline reviews to KPI tracking, I make sure your team hits targets consistently. If your team has potential but isn't performing, I'll find out why and fix it. ✅ Pipeline Development & Sales Strategy I work across your full sales process—from discovery to close—identifying where revenue leaks and plugging them. BANT, MEDDIC, and SPIN frameworks tailored to your deal size. More closed revenue, not just more activity. ✅ CRM Optimization & Sales Operations I clean up, build out, and automate your CRM across HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, and GoHighLevel—so your team spends time selling, not doing admin. Full pipeline visibility, at a glance. ✅ Sales Automation & Workflow Optimization Automated follow-ups, lead routing, and outreach sequencing using Apollo, n8n, and AI-assisted tools. Less manual work. Faster execution. More pipeline. Ready to Build a System That Consistently Generates Revenue? You've probably tried outreach before. Maybe it worked for a while, or maybe it never really took off. The difference between inconsistent results and a predictable pipeline almost always comes down to system—not effort. With 18+ years in B2B sales, I bring both strategic thinking and hands-on execution to build what your revenue engine is missing. Here's how to get started: Send me a message with: - Your target market—whom you're selling to - Your core offer—what you're selling and at what price point - Your pipeline goal—what you need to achieve in the next 60–90 days I'll review it and give you a straight, no-fluff assessment of what's missing and the fastest path to results. Let's build something that works.

Sales representatives hiring guide
Sales representatives can help drive your revenue by connecting your business with customers, by managing relationships, and by closing deals. Whether you need someone to handle cold outreach, conduct product demonstrations, or manage ongoing client accounts, the right sales rep can expand your market reach and help you hit growth targets.
What does a sales representative do?
Sales representatives connect businesses with customers by promoting products or services, building relationships, and closing deals. Their core responsibilities often include prospecting for new clients, presenting solutions, negotiating contracts, and maintaining long-term accounts.
Daily activities range from making cold calls and conducting product demonstrations to managing customer data in CRM systems. Sales reps may work as inside sales professionals handling remote communications or as outside sales representatives traveling for in-person meetings. Regardless of the specific environment, their primary goal is to drive business growth through effective selling strategies.
How to hire a sales representative on Upwork
Finding the right sales representative starts with clear expectations and a structured hiring process. Follow these steps to connect with qualified sales professionals on Upwork.
Step 1: Post a job
Your job post serves as the first impression for potential candidates and directly influences the quality of applicants you receive. In your post:
Outline your sales goals, industry, and target customers and buying personas
Define sales activities like cold calling, B2B sales, or account management
Specify tools such as CRM systems or video conferencing platforms
Cover logistical details such as budget and timeline
Set expectations for sales targets, territory, and commission structures.
To draft a tailored job post quickly, try the Job Post Generator powered by Uma™, Upwork's Mindful AI. Describe what you need in a few sentences, and Uma will draft a job post in seconds. You can also review job description templates for sales reps to see what your post might include.
Step 2: Evaluate candidates
As you receive proposals, you can compare candidates based on skills, testimonials, and past projects. For a sales representative, you’ll want to look for both interpersonal skills and technical knowledge.
Use the filters on Upwork to narrow the candidate pool by experience, rate, and location
Have Uma conduct instant video interviews and provide shortlists with side-by-side comparisons
Look through proposals to verify that the candidates have the experience you need and understand your goals
Review profiles for work history showing relevant sales experience and proven results
Check client feedback and Job Success Scores for reliability
Step 3: Interview your top choices
Quick video interviews can provide answers to any questions you have left for your top choices. They also help you get a feel for what working and communicating with candidates might be like.
Schedule and conduct interviews within Upwork messaging and receive immediate transcripts and summaries through Uma
Ask questions relevant to your project, for example about building customer relationships or using scripts for cold calling
Discuss their experience with your industry or products and services similar to your offerings
Cover logistics, such as your timeline and budget, and the project management software you use
If you’re unfamiliar with interviewing freelance talent, you can review common interview questions to help your discussions be productive.
Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work
Before the person you choose can begin work, you’ll need to have a clear contract in place. Contracts protect both parties and help collaborations be successful from beginning to end.
Use Upwork’s tools and services for creating and managing contracts, and processing payments
Choose fixed-price contracts for projects with clear deliverables, such as developing a proposal or drafting a contact list
Break larger projects into manageable milestones, such as market research, drafting and revising a presentation, and the actual presentation
Choose hourly contracts for ongoing projects or projects without clear deliverables, such as continual cold calling for the term of the contract
Once the contract begins, be sure to give the person everything they need to succeed, including onboarding materials and access to your CRM system and other project management tools.
