Sales recruiting + fractional sales management

We hire your salesperson. Then we run them.

A full-time rep on your payroll. A system built around them. A sales manager who runs them every day, without the six-figure hire.

Why we exist

Most sales teams don’t fail. They run out of time.

Every quarter spent hiring and hoping compounds quietly. Not in a dashboard. In missed deals, longer cycles, and a founder still doing demos at nine at night.

Hiring feels like progress. It rarely is. A salesperson without a system is a salary with a countdown on it.

So we don’t sell you a rep, or a playbook, or a consultant. We put a rep on your payroll, build the system around them, and manage them every day until the numbers move. If we can’t help, we say so on the first call.

The third way

There were two ways to build a sales team. Now there are three.

Rent

An agency.

Their SDR works the phones under your name. You buy meetings by the month; the rep, the data and the relationships stay theirs.

Fast to start. Nothing to keep.
Hire

A sales manager.

A full-time sales leader before you have a team to lead. Plus a recruiter, plus the risk that one person walks out with the playbook in their head.

You own it. You also carry it.
Icebreaker

Your rep. Our system.

Your rep, W-2, on your payroll. Our recruiting, comp plan, scripts, CRM and daily management. When you outgrow us, we recruit your sales manager and hand over the keys.

You keep everything. We carry the daily work.
Your first 90 days

Recruit. Build. Manage.

Three phases. None of them run by you.

Your time: three interviews, then one 30-minute review a week. Ours: every day.

Weeks 1–6 · Recruit

We find the person.

We screen for coachability and work ethic, not charisma. You meet the final two or three and make the call. Nothing is billed monthly until your rep starts.

You getA rep on your payroll, usually within six weeks.
Before day one · Build

We build the system.

How they’re paid, what they say on the phone, where every call gets logged, and the number they have to hit each day. Built while we recruit, so day one is a selling day.

You getA rep who knows exactly what to do on Monday morning.
Every day after · Manage

We run the rep.

We check the numbers every day, coach every week, and walk you through the pipeline every month. If they aren’t working out in the first 90 days, we replace them at no recruiting fee.

You getA Monday email with the numbers, and a rep who keeps getting better.
Accountability

No black box. You see everything.

Calls are one metric. Your business might run on site visits, quotes, demos or LinkedIn conversations. We build a tracker around the four or five activities that actually lead to revenue for you, pull the numbers in automatically, and both of us look at it every day. Nobody gets to hide, including us.

Call review from Icebreaker: “Tighten the opener. Good either/or.”
Sample data · three of the metric sets we run · the real thing is live for every rep we manage
Your metrics, not ours. Dials for one client, site visits and quotes for another. We define the four or five activities that lead to revenue in your business and track exactly those.
Automatic, not self-reported. Synced from your CRM, phone system and inbox: Close, HubSpot, RingCentral, Instantly. Reps don’t fill in their own numbers.
Reviewed daily. Below-target activity gets a call from us the same day, not a note at month end.
Yours to keep. The dashboard, the history and the CRM stay with you if we ever part ways.
