    I help CEOs of B2B SaaS companies build sales systems to grow their businesses. Unlike most Business Development experts here on UpWork, I have 12+ years experience working directly with the founders of startups in the SaaS + Digital space. My approach is straightforward, collaborative, and efficient. It’s a methodology I’ve refined through years of crafting B2B Go-To-Market strategies, Sales Teams, and Business Development funnels for nimble tech startups. Exciting results and experiences that I now use to help my clients: 1. Developed and led Sales and Marketing program for Mobile App agency in Chicago, exceeding 2 yr revenue goal by more than 200%. Rapid growth and scalable process resulted in Inc 1000 ranking as North America’s fastest growing mobile app agency five years in a row 2. Took over Business Development and rebrand of a $500k SaaS startup in 2016 and left 2 years later when it was at $6 million and sold to a global Software company. 3. Led U.S. Go-To-Market strategy for a Japanese Digital Analytics company that grew 3 fold in the 15 months I led Business Development efforts 4. Chosen to participate in Groupon’s Inside Sales Accelerator program as the only Intern while still attending Columbia College in Chicago 5. Worked with SaaS companies, Digital Marketing, UX, and other B2B digital-oriented companies 6. Successfully marketed, prospected, and secured relationships with Fortune 500 brands like Coca-Cola, North Face, Unilever, Harley-Davidson, Levi’s, Whirlpool, and many more I’ve always had a passion for building from the ground up, and I’m looking to work with like-minded folks who want to grow their business. With limited availability, I’m interested in the following types of projects: - Branding, Go-To-Market, Sales - B2B SaaS or Digital - Must have a value differentiator that is truly unique from other offerings in your space - Project that needs building or strategizing from the ground up—not interested in executing a concrete vision, there are plenty of others on UpWork who can do that : ) I provide upfront costs and manage actions on a project board of your choice, so all participants have complete visibility of the project. If you fit the criteria listed above, I’d love to discuss your project. Let me know if you have an interest in connecting. Thanks for reading. Gio
