Looking for a business partner for my custom software development agency in London, UK

I am looking for a salesperson/business partner who can work on leads for my custom software development agency. I am looking to scale the business. The payment is a percentage based on the accepted project. I am interested in finding a long-term partner that I can grow this business with as well. PM for more details, please.

    Hey, Octavian; I'd love to connect. My email is: jefferson@opiloptimum.com

    A little about me:

    • Currently running a business development firm (we take care of sales enablement for clients, full-scope sort of thing; sales infrastructure, sales as a service, sales strategy, etc.) // We have capabilities in blockchain development as well
    • Recently had a stint at JFI (Consulting firm focused on AWS) as a Client Partner, where I generated a book of business worth $700,000 ACV in less than 4.5 months
    • Prior to JFI, I worked at Solera Inc. (An $11B Holdings company, with a SaaS portfolio focused on the Logistics industry - I was in the Omnitracs division) as a Business Dev Rep; I was promoted in my 1st month

    Experience & Expertise:

    • In HS built Websites & did sales for a local restaurant (catering deals); as well as played QB, ran a club, and built an organization
    • College, built a fraternity, then shut it down, because I decided to leave traditional academia (Before leaving, I was a Sales & marketing intern, School Paper Photographer, Little League Coach, and had a stint working at the local Church); finished academics through online courses and got as much entrepreneurial experience as possible
    • Left to LA, secured a consulting contract for a local gym (East Hollywood, off of Melrose) near my apartment; developed processes, optimized operations, and revamped offerings - developed photo collections for artists (my friends, 90%; more for creative therapy than anything) on the side /Always loved the arts/
    • Went to Austin for a sales gig
    • Back to Dallas for Solera & JFI, and now Opil Optimum

    All in all, I really dig enterprise. Really enjoy enterprise development the most; the partnerships, the sales, the developing something that provides value in the market sort of thing. More than anything, I like seeing my guys/girls win, my compadres, the people who are interested in either being the best, or doing the best of things.

    Maybe we don't work together, maybe we do, but maybe a call is the sort of thing that'll let us know where our alignment rests. If there is any value you think I could offer, feel free to hit my email and we can set something up.

        Hey, tavy; tried replying to the email, but for some reason it was bounced back. Maybe linkedin is the best place for us to connect at the moment;

        Here's the link to my Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffedes/

    Did custom software for UK companies for 10 years, you better look for public tenders and hire a salesperson only if you have a ready-made product they can sell, for 10 years I watched a lot of salespeople attempting to sell custom software, but no one manage to do it, the few that made a sale or two before got fired did it only because they strait lied to the customer

      I am looking for more like a partner that would get potential clients so I don't have to do that as well.
