FiveRings Is Outsourced SDR for SaaS, $360k in ARR
Starting my first venture at the age of 20 showed me incredible highs and crushing lows (eating PB&J for every meal). Gained a ton of skills doing door to door, cold calling, and managing a team of 30 commission only sales reps. After pursuing a few other ventures in this realm, I gained a lot of knowledge about growing sales, building teams and measuring success. Taking this knowledge, I co-founded FiveRings Marketing where we help SaaS companies grow their revenue by booking meetings with decision makers in their industry.
