Hire the Best Strategic Thinking Professionals

I am an MBA-trained (Kelley School of Business, Indiana University) strategist with 10+ years of experience, offering premium consulting services at an introductory rate to build my Upwork profile. ​While I typically consult for large enterprises and pharmaceutical firms, I am opening my schedule to help startups, small businesses, and solopreneurs get organized and execute their plans. You get the same level of rigor I provide to Fortune 500 clients, but for a fraction of the cost as I establish my reputation here. ​How I can help you: - ​Business Planning: Drafting solid business plans, pitch decks, and roadmaps. - ​Market Research: Competitor analysis, SWOT analysis, and industry trends (recent work: SWOT for a local food truck launch). - ​Financial Strategy: Modeling, pricing strategy, and budget forecasting. ​- Ad-Hoc Strategy: Acting as a sounding board or "Chief of Staff" to help you solve operational bottlenecks. ​I am US-based (Eastern Time), responsive, and ready to hit the ground running.

🎯 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: 8,000+ LinkedIn followers and 50,000+ organic video 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, problem solving, 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?
