Behind every creative person, every small and growing business, is an Alfred. There comes a point in the development of every business where if an organizational overhaul doesn't take place, scaling isn't possible. That's where I come in. You might know exactly what you want, or you might have a general sense of unease. Many business owners know there are things that can be done better, but they aren't sure where to start and don't have the time to figure it out. I've spent years honing a carefully curated (but extensive) list of skills by working with small business teams and as a freelancer. These various experiences have given me invaluable insights into different industries, processes, tools and departments. I've had my hands in dozens of different projects and this has allowed me to analyze businesses and develop custom solutions. I've also worked really hard to become acclimated to as much technology as possible. I'm certified in Asana, Notion, Make.com, Quickbooks, Trainual and Gorgias. I'm expert-level in Clickup, Trello, Monday, Processstreet, Jira, Confluence, Hubspot, Hubstaff, Harvest, Front, and many more. Some of my specialty areas include: - Day to day direct executive support, project management or operations management - Acting as team communication leader and project manager ensuring efficient information sharing - Process development - Analyzing, streamlining and automating workflows - Tool recommendations, data migration, set up and training - Financials (Quickbooks, data transfers, budgets, action plans) I am a certified Quickbooks Pro Advisor! I am certified to help you optimize your usage of Quickbooks. - I specialize in choosing, setting up and executing project management software. I am well versed in all major options. I am also an Asana Together Certified Pro and Notion Certified. - Developing, launching and leading initiatives regarding efficiency, organization, team building, marketing, hiring, and more. - Resource management including HR, payroll and employee engagement - Long term goal planning, and breaking down those goals into achievable projects with specific steps and due dates - Putting out fires, reducing bottlenecks, and keeping things from falling through the cracks Certified in: Asana, Notion, Gorgias, Make.com, Trainual and Quickbooks Experienced in: Airtable Calendly Canva Clickup Clockify Confluence Dubsado Etsy Google Data Studio Google Products Harvest Hector Hexnode Highlevel Hive Hootsuite Hubspot Hubstaff Insightly Loomly Monday.com Office/Microsoft Products Paymo Post Affiliate Pro Processstreet Reclaim Shopify Sortly Sunsama Todoist Trello Various form tools (google forms, tidyform, notionforms, etc.) Verious email marketing tools (Mailchimp, infusionsoft, constant contact, keap, etc.) WordPress Wrike Zendesk Zoho And even more industry specific software (NutriAdmin, ServiceNow, ConnectWise, etc.)

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.

I help US and European companies hire pre-vetted, English-fluent sales & tech professionals from Latin America. I'm a Human Resources specialist with 5+ years of experience in recruiting, working remotely. I founded Working HR, a recruiting agency focused exclusively on go-to-market, sales & tech roles in the LATAM market. What you get when you work with me: ✔ Candidates sourced across Argentina, Colombia, México, Uruguay, Chile, and Brazil ✔ Every profile pre-screened: experience validated, English assessed (C1+), role fit confirmed ✔ 2–3 vetted candidates presented per week ✔ Full support: sourcing, screening, interview coordination, and offer support ✔ Clear communication and founder-friendly process throughout My approach is simple: I don't send you a pile of CVs. I will send you the right people, ready to interview. If you're scaling a sales or tech team and want LATAM talent that performs in your timezone at a fraction of US hiring costs. I'd love to help.

🎯 12+ Years Remote Contracting on Elance/Upwork (Top 1% of +18M and ALL 5 Stars!) 🎯 25+ Years in Customer Facing Roles (10+ Years B2B & 10+ Years B2C) 🎯 Core Team Member of Bootstrapping Startups 🎯 Credited with 3x Biggest Deal Size ($150k in ARR), 3x Headcount, 2-3x ARR (multiple times) 🎯 50k+ Organic Views on YouTube as Creator/Host/Presenter/SME 🎯 Sales, Software and Data Professional 🎯 Contractor and Co-Founder 🎯 Leading Voice on LinkedIn 🎯 Named CXO Outlook's Most Influential Business Leaders in 2023 by CXO Outlook Magazine My name is Ben. I'm a top performer and my work has helped many companies get to the next level. As a contractor I offer my own time and services in data, software, and in a variety of roles such as sales, support, customer success, account management, hiring, training, content creation, and many others. I often handle high-value and high-priority tasks, projects, and initiatives that require high levels of trust, great communication, and highly-skilled individuals. Over 25 years I've been very effective in very diverse industries and business functions. ‎ ‎I have 25 years of customer-facing experience across B2B and B2C sectors, from frontline sales and support to startup leadership, giving me a rare combination of street-level execution and strategic thinking. ‎ ‎I'm the Co-Founder and passive Head of Sales of a bootstrapping data software startup, and I've been a core leader in multiple small startups in the same space. That means I don't just talk strategy, I've lived the constraints, trade-offs, and grind of building something from nothing. ‎ ‎My B2B focus since 2015 has been concentrated in data and software, where I've built a genuine thought leadership presence: 7,000+ LinkedIn followers and 50,000+ organic YouTube views in a notoriously dry, technical space. That's not luck, that's proof I can communicate complex ideas to real audiences, in a compelling manner. ‎ ‎What sets my profile apart is the breadth behind the depth: mortgage industry, furniture retail, food service, government clients worldwide, and independent contracting on Upwork and Elance. Combined with years of learning client businesses through discovery calls and long-term relationships, I have an unusually strong grasp of how different businesses actually operate. ‎ ‎My core competency sits at the intersection of people, technology, and communication, spanning simple sales, technical and complex sales, partnerships, business development, onboarding, account management, and customer support. That full-funnel fluency, applied to small business operations, is the core value I bring to every client engagement. I'm born and raised in Wisconsin but I'm bilingual (English-Spanish) and bicultural (American-Colombian) and I consider my home to be Quindio, Colombia. ‎ ‎--- ‎ ‎**Core Expertise** ‎- Sales: Simple, technical, complex, and partnership-driven ‎- Business Development & Account Management ‎- Customer Onboarding & Support ‎- Data, Software & Small Business Strategy ‎- Live Broadcasts & Pre-Recorded Content Presentation ‎- B2B and B2C across multiple industries What else would you like to know?

Team building specialists can help you with a variety of work including facilitating activities, designing corporate events, and marketing.

So how do you hire team building specialists? What follows are some tips for finding top team building specialists on Upwork.

How to shortlist team building professionals

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

  • Type of team building. You may want a team building specialist who understands the type of team building you’re dealing with, whether it’s for the workplace, for children, or leadership development.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., identifying and securing speakers for events).
  • 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 team building specialist.

How to write an effective team building job post

With a clear picture of your ideal team building specialist 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 an independent professional to know if they’re the right fit for the project. 

An effective team building job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From selling team building programs to assisting group leaders at events, 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
