Dylan here. For 20+ years I've helped companies fund, launch, and grow across the startup, venture, and PE ecosystems, as a founder, consultant, and in leadership roles. I know what it takes to move a business from one stage to the next. My core strengths are business development, B2B marketing, fundraising, and consultative sales. I've closed seven-figure enterprise deals, raised capital across multiple rounds, and built partnership pipelines from scratch. I'm comfortable sitting across from decision makers at organizations of any size, and I know how long real deals take, so I build for the full cycle rather than the quick win. What I care about most is creating value for everyone at the table. Tell me what you're trying to grow and let's talk.

About Me I build, run, and scale outbound sales systems for companies that want consistent pipeline — without managing reps, tools, or chaos themselves. I’m the founder of Bridge Sales Solutions, an outbound sales operation that deploys trained SDRs, proven call frameworks, dialers, CRMs, reporting, and management under one roof. Clients hire me when they want outbound to actually run — not when they want to babysit freelancers. While I don’t personally sit on the dialer day-to-day, I design the strategy, oversee execution, manage performance, and stay hands-on with scripts, objections, ICPs, KPIs, and campaign optimization. You get a sales leader who understands the phone and the systems behind it. I’m comfortable plugging into existing sales stacks or running campaigns entirely through our own infrastructure — whatever creates the fastest path to results. My background is entirely sales and customer-facing work — from early door-to-door and car sales to SaaS, agencies, and managing distributed outbound teams. That experience is why I’m obsessive about one thing: execution that holds up at volume. What I Actually Do Outbound Sales System Design ICP definition, targeting strategy, scripts, objection handling, call flows, KPIs, and operating cadence SDR / BDR Team Deployment Trained reps, call QA, coaching, performance tracking, and accountability — fully managed Cold Calling Infrastructure Power dialers, CRMs, call tracking, dispositions, reporting dashboards, and workflows Campaign Management & Optimization Vertical testing, list refinement, messaging iteration, and conversion improvement over time Pipeline & Reporting Clear weekly reports on activity, conversations, meetings booked, and insights — not vanity metrics Scale to Full-Cycle Sales (When Needed) Support beyond top-of-funnel — including qualification handoff, follow-up workflows, and closing support once outbound KPIs are proven How Engagements Typically Work Most clients bring us on for 20–40+ hours per week on a retainer basis. We take a consultative, partnership-first approach: Launch outbound using either your systems or ours Establish baseline KPIs and operating rhythm Optimize targeting, messaging, and execution Scale volume — and scope — as results stabilize Some clients stay focused purely on SDR/BDR execution. Others expand into broader sales support over time. We scale with what the business actually needs. Who I’m a Good Fit For Startups, agencies, and service businesses that want predictable outbound Founders who want a true partner, not a task-based freelancer Teams who don’t want to hire, train, or manage SDRs internally If you’re looking for an outbound partner who can execute now and scale with you later, we should talk.

If you run a GoHighLevel agency, the hardest problems begin after the sub-accounts are built. You need to know what is breaking, where leads are leaking, which accounts need attention, and how to deploy changes across the agency without opening every sub-account one by one. That is the layer I build. I help established agencies turn GoHighLevel into a scalable operating system with cross-account visibility, standardized deployments, workflow QA, lead distribution, AI voice, conversational AI, API integrations, dashboards, and management reporting. I am not a task-level GHL technician hired to build another funnel or import a snapshot. I work above the individual account level, designing the systems an agency needs once manual account-by-account management stops working. I have operated inside a 70+ agency ecosystem where the real challenge was not creating workflows. It was controlling delivery, reporting, routing, sales activity, and technical changes across a growing portfolio of accounts. What I build: • GoHighLevel agency architecture, SaaS mode, snapshots, pipelines, permissions, workflows, and sub-account standards • Cross-account dashboards, portfolio reporting, workflow monitoring, QA, and management visibility • Systems for identifying broken workflows, missed opportunities, stale leads, and accounts requiring attention • Standardized onboarding, deployment, change management, and operating procedures • Lead routing, weighted round robin, ownership rules, SLAs, escalation paths, and automated distribution • AI voice agents for inbound calls, outbound follow-up, qualification, booking, confirmations, and no-show recovery • Conversational AI across SMS, web chat, WhatsApp, email, and CRM channels • Custom AI voices, voice cloning, knowledge bases, guardrails, and human handoff logic • Direct API, webhook, MCP, n8n, Make, and Zapier integrations • Custom middleware, serverless functions, internal tools, and external dashboards • Connections between GoHighLevel, calendars, Slack, outbound platforms, calling systems, reporting tools, and external AI services • Bulk operational actions and reporting that extend beyond the native GHL interface My advantage is that I understand the sales and revenue system underneath the automation. My background includes sales leadership, Sales Operations, pipeline architecture, forecasting, lead management, and conversion strategy. I build around speed-to-lead, qualification, ownership, stage discipline, appointment recovery, proposal control, follow-up, and KPI visibility. That matters because automating a broken process only makes it fail faster. The CRM should show leadership where revenue is being gained or lost. AI should handle the repetitive work it is suited for, then escalate the conversations that require judgment, trust, or a human decision. I am a strong fit when: • You manage a growing portfolio of GoHighLevel sub-accounts • Your team is still making changes manually, one account at a time • You cannot easily see which accounts, workflows, or leads need attention • Reporting requires opening individual sub-accounts or combining spreadsheets • Your CRM, AI, calling, outbound, and reporting systems do not communicate • Leads are leaking through slow response, missed calls, weak routing, or unclear ownership • Your existing GHL freelancers can complete tasks but cannot design the larger system • You need senior architecture, execution, and oversight rather than another low-level administrator I also build and integrate outbound systems using Instantly, Apollo, Clay, enrichment, verification, cold email infrastructure, lead distribution, and CRM synchronization. I lead strategy and architecture personally and can coordinate a commercial-grade team across GoHighLevel implementation, AI agents, voice systems, APIs, dashboards, automation, QA, and ongoing optimization. Core stack: GoHighLevel, HighLevel, GHL, HubSpot, Salesforce, n8n, Make, Zapier, REST APIs, webhooks, MCP, AI voice APIs, conversational AI, Instantly, Apollo, Clay, Slack, Google Workspace, Vercel, and GA4.

How to Hire Top Sales Strategists

SALES STRATEGISTS

What is sales strategy? 

A sales strategy is a document that details a business’s measurable sales goals and the specific steps needed to reach them. Sales strategies will also often include information on key market segments, sales tactics, and branding.

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in sales strategy professionals:

  • Sales strategy
  • Branding
  • Strong communication (written, verbal, and visual)

Why do you want to hire sales strategists?

The trick to finding top sales strategists is to identify your needs. Is your goal to find someone to align inbound marketing tactics with your outbound sales operations? Do you require help with a specific sales channel such as working with Instagram influencers to sell clothing? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.

HOW TO HIRE SALES STRATEGISTS

Sales strategists can help you track and improve the conversion rate of your sales funnel.

So how do you hire sales strategists? What follows are some tips for finding top sales strategists on Upwork.

How to shortlist sales strategy professionals

As you’re browsing available sales strategy consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a sales strategist who understands your industry so they can help you figure out how best to reach your target market.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., creating sales pitches for a call center).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular sales strategist.

How to write an effective sales strategy job post

With a clear picture of your ideal sales strategist in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective sales strategy job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From pitch decks to multichannel sales strategies, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, software, or marketing channels, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

  1. Identify your project needs, whether it’s content marketing or search engine optimization (SEO).
  2. Define the scope of work and write a detailed job post. Be specific about deliverables (e.g., a B2B sales strategy for setting appointments with C-level executives).
  3. Review proposals and shortlist potential sales strategists for unique skills needed to bring your project to life (e.g., creating email templates to guide prospects down a sales funnel).
  4. Interview sales strategy talent to gauge whether they’re the right fit for your project.

FAQS FOR HIRING SALES STRATEGISTS

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to hire a sales strategist?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced sales strategist may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their sales strategy services more competitively.

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.

How long should you contract a sales strategist to complete your project?

As difficult as it is to estimate how long it takes to develop a sales strategy, budgeting time is very important to keeping your project on track.

Be prepared to budget more time for more-demanding sales strategy projects. For example, the scope of developing a sales strategy increases with every additional marketing channel you add to your funnel.
