Chris L.
Revenue Architect | Fractional CRO | Sales Process & Team Builder
I help founders and service-based businesses build scalable sales systems that drive real revenue growth. My work goes beyond sales advice. I build the infrastructure behind predictable revenue: • sales process design • CRM and pipeline architecture • lead management systems • setter / closer team structure • follow-up systems • KPI dashboards • sales leadership and accountability I work best with companies that have strong potential but need better execution, cleaner systems, and tighter revenue operations. Selected results: • HR / Payroll: scaled annual revenue from $700K to $1.8M over a 2-year contract • Home Improvement (Roofing / Solar / HVAC): helped grow monthly revenue from $6M to $10M over 18 months • Property Management: built from $0 to $500K in under 6 months • Starlight PR (Upwork Contract) Built the sales function from the ground up during a part-time contract engagement. Increased active pipeline from $13K to $500K in the first 90 days, improved close rate from 5% to 28%, built the CRM workflow and sales process, and helped scale the sales team to 10 people. Also contributed to outbound strategy, email marketing systems, and conversion-focused messaging. In that PR engagement, I built the sales team structure, CRM workflow, pipeline logic, reporting system, and supporting outreach strategy, helping scale the team to 10 salespeople. I can help with: • sales process buildout • CRM and funnel design • pipeline management and conversion improvement • sales scripts, follow-up systems, and handoff logic • sales team buildout, training, and accountability • revenue operations for founders who need execution, not theory If your sales operation feels messy, inconsistent, or founder-dependent, I can help build the structure needed to scale. Message me if you need a revenue operator who can build the system, not just talk about it.
