I help founders and scaling companies build reliable, predictable revenue engines. As a Fractional CRO/CMO/CSO and Sales Trainer with 25+ years of experience, I've led revenue, sales, and marketing transformations across 25+ countries, and helped launch 15 startups and driven over $125M in new revenue, with an average client revenue increase of 60% and multiple engagements hitting triple-digit growth. I step into founder-led, early-stage, and scaling environments that need senior revenue leadership without the cost of a full-time executive. Whether you need someone to architect your GTM strategy, overhaul your sales process, train your team, or drive revenue hands-on, I diagnose the real problem, implement what works, and deliver measurable results fast. How I Help • Fractional CRO — Align marketing, sales, and customer success into one predictable revenue system. • Fractional CMO — Build positioning, messaging, and performance-marketing systems that convert. • Fractional CSO — Build high-performing sales teams, pipelines, KPIs, and outbound/inbound engines. • GTM & Revenue Operations — Go-to-market design, ICP refinement, sales playbooks, funnel engineering, and CRM optimization. • Sales Coaching & Training — Data-driven training and coaching for founders, SDRs, AEs, and sales leaders. Selected Results • Generated $125M+ in new revenue for clients, with 60%+ average sales improvement. • Delivered 348% revenue growth in 6 months for a PE-backed Dutch IT consultancy. • Built the GTM that landed 8 banking clients in 6 months for a Techstars fintech. • Grew a US software company from $10K to $120K in MRR in 12 weeks. • Drove a 135% sales increase and 30% lift in customer service scores at Huntington Bank. • Improved customer service scores 30% and employee satisfaction 45% at JPMorgan Chase. Why Founders Hire Me I don't just advise, I build systems, implement strategy, train teams, and drive execution. Clients describe me as "deeply strategic but hands-on," "a coach, partner, and builder all in one," and "able to diagnose problems we couldn't see." My goal is always to build revenue systems that keep working long after I leave. Tell me where you're stuck, and I'll help you break through it.

Your outbound isn't short on effort. It's short on booked meetings. Emails slip into spam, half the list is catch-all addresses that bounce, and your team burns hours on volume that never turns into a call. I fix the system underneath that, then I run it. I'm Zeeshan. Six years in B2B, doing the same job the whole time: find the right companies, reach the right people, and build a pipeline that closes. I've done it for IT staffing, custom software, SaaS, and ERP companies. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁 A full outbound engine, not a spreadsheet of names domains and mailboxes configured, ICP defined, buying committee mapped, every contact validated, then sequences across cold email, LinkedIn, and ABM. I report on meetings booked and pipeline, not open rates. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜'𝗺 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 Most lead-gen freelancers hand you a scraped list and vanish. I own the infrastructure that keeps outreach landing: ● SPF, DKIM, DMARC aligned; mailbox warm-up and inbox rotation; safe account migration ● CAN-SPAM and GDPR compliant, measured on bounce rate, spam complaints, inbox placement ● Reporting on pipeline and meetings booked, tracked against thresholds 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 ● One cold email campaign sourced and closed a $600K crypto wallet project ● At TechmateTech, my outbound generated $250K+ in a single year ● Closed a staff augmentation deal with MAGPIE ($4–6K/month), signed within weeks of first contact 𝗠𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 Salesforce Marketing Cloud, HubSpot, Instantly, Lemlist, Apollo, Clay, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Lead411, Seamless.ai, Expandi, Heyreach, plus Zapier and n8n. I work US business hours for full overlap with US teams, 40+ hours a week. If you need pipeline built and run by one person who owns the whole stack from domain to booked meeting, send me a note about your target market and what you sell. I'll tell you straight whether I can move the needle.

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.
