Hi, I'm Chris, Expert Cold Caller and President of Seloquent, a premium SDR agency built on results, integrity, and world-class outreach.
After over 15 years in the SDR and Sales world, I began my journey right here on Upwork as a solo freelancer, specializing in cold calling and appointment setting. Over the years, through consistent performance and client success, I’ve grown from an individual operator into the founder and leader of a small-to-medium-sized agency with 40+ highly trained SDRs delivering exceptional outbound results across multiple industries. I would like to inform you that we do not work on a commission structure for clients we do not have a history with. If you are looking for a commission-only structure, we would not be interested.
Today, while I no longer make calls day-to-day, I personally oversee every step of the process, ensuring that each campaign reflects the same quality, professionalism, and results that built my reputation on this platform.

What My Agency Delivers

Lead Generation Strategy

Why Work With Me & Seloquent
Leadership-Level Oversight: You get agency power with founder involvement. I directly supervise strategy, messaging, training, and performance to ensure top-tier results.
Budget Fit For Your Needs: The $40/Hr rate is for working with me to create your narrative and build your campaign. If you already have a narrative, data, and a built campaign to hire us for your campaign on Upwork the rate is $30 to $35, depending on the number of hours you want contracted. Important information. We do not do full commission campaigns with clients we do not have a history with.
Results-Driven Approach: Every campaign is engineered to generate measurable ROI and pipeline growth.
Elite-Level Professionalism: From communication to execution, we operate at the highest standards in the industry.
Clear, Consistent Communication: I keep you informed, aligned, and supported throughout the entire engagement.
