B2B lead generation and business development specialist with 3+ years turning cold outreach into booked meetings and closed revenue — across semiconductor manufacturing, solar energy, cosmetics, and retail distribution.
Currently running full-cycle outbound (100+ calls/day via Apollo io and LinkedIn Sales Navigator) for a Singapore-based semiconductor materials manufacturer, booking qualified meetings with Tata, Micron, Kaynes, and Datwyler. Previously built a sales and BD pipeline from a cold call list that landed appointments with 7-Eleven and Whole Foods Market, and ran outbound solar sales across the Canadian market combining provided lead lists with self-sourced referral pipeline.
Beyond pure outbound, I've led a content and SEO team (managing website copy and keyword optimization for an international e-commerce brand) and delivered live chat customer support at an 85% CSAT — so I bring the full funnel: I can generate the pipeline, close the meeting, and support the account after signature.
What I bring to your team:
Proven enterprise-level appointment setting (Tata, Micron, 7-Eleven, Whole Foods on record)
Full CRM and prospecting stack: Apollo io, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Zoho CRM
Multi-channel outreach: cold calling, cold email, multi-touch follow-up sequences
Bonus range: content/SEO and social media marketing for teams that need pipeline and brand presence
100% Job Success Score, Rising Talent badge, 30+ hrs/week availability, 0-4 hour response time
Fluent in English, Hindi, and Telugu — useful for India-market or multilingual outreach
I treat every pipeline like it's my own quota to hit. If you need someone who can pick up a lead list and turn it into revenue without hand-holding, let's talk.

B2B SaaS Sales | IT Services Sales | Business Development | Enterprise Sales | Fractional Head of Sales | Lead Generation | Sales Closer
I help SaaS, AI and IT services companies turn leads, founder relationships and sales opportunities into closed revenue.
With 20+ years in B2B technology sales and business development across the US, Canada, Europe and APAC, I can manage the complete sales cycle: lead qualification, discovery calls, demos, POCs, proposals, negotiation, closing, account management and upselling.
I've worked with early-stage startups, SaaS companies and technology services businesses, selling to everyone from SMBs to Fortune 500 companies, government organizations, CEOs, CTOs and enterprise technology teams.
A few outcomes from my career:
• Automation Anywhere - Joined as the first sales hire during its early startup stage. Managed inbound opportunities, demos, POCs and enterprise/CXO conversations, helping close organizations including Dell, Ernst & Young and Australian Government entities.
• B2B SaaS - Helped grow monthly revenue from approximately $20K to $100K+ through full-cycle sales, onboarding, upselling and cross-selling.
• Technology Startup - Built the sales strategy, messaging and collateral that contributed to 346% YoY revenue growth and expansion from 2 to 25 people.
• KQ Infotech - Led international business development for its ZFS-on-Linux technology. The company was subsequently acquired by STEC.
• Google Qwiklabs - Managed and scaled a 96+ person cloud support operation handling 3,000+ weekly tickets while maintaining 95%+ customer satisfaction.
WHAT I CAN HELP YOU WITH
• Fractional Head of Sales / Sales Leadership
• Founder-led sales support
• B2B SaaS & IT services sales
• Enterprise sales and complex deal closing
• Discovery calls, demos and POCs
• Proposal development and negotiation
• Pipeline management and sales process design
• Account growth, upselling and cross-selling
• Partnerships and market expansion
• Sales team setup, coaching and management
I am particularly effective with technical products and services where the salesperson needs to understand the technology, communicate comfortably with technical teams, and still hold a commercial conversation with founders, CEOs, CTOs and other decision-makers.
If you have leads but aren't converting enough of them, a founder who needs help taking sales off their plate, or a technical offering that needs someone who can actually understand what is being sold, that's where I can add the most value.

I've spent 13 years on the phone, in CRMs, and in the middle of sales processes that couldn't afford mistakes.
That started in 2011 doing outbound calls for an Australian debt recovery process - high volume, high pressure, no script safety net. It continued through IT consulting, international project coordination, executive support for a Miami-based real estate CEO, SaaS sales, real estate, and most recently two-plus years as a lead engagement specialist for a roofing company in Medford, MA, working US hours from India, every day.
At FRS Roofing, my job was simple on paper: call leads, qualify them, book estimates, follow up. What I actually did was notice that a large chunk of leads were going cold after two or three contact attempts and just sitting there. So I built an automated re-engagement sequence - 30, 45, 60 days out, without being asked. That's the kind of thing I tend to do.
I'm comfortable owning a pipeline end to end. I know how to respond fast, log everything, keep the CRM clean, and make sure nothing sits idle. I've worked in Salesforce, HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Zoho, and KVCore. I've run outbound sequences in Instantly, sourced contacts through Apollo, managed calendars through Calendly, and supported C-level executives across time zones.
What I'm looking for is a role where the work actually matters and performance is visible. I'm not interested in coasting. If you need someone who picks up the phone without being reminded, keeps things moving without being micromanaged, and genuinely cares about the outcome, that's the kind of person I am.
Available full-time. Long-term.
