B2B Sales Agency for Startups and Growth-Stage Teams

A B2B sales agency helps companies sell products or services to other businesses by providing sales strategy, prospecting, lead qualification, pipeline management, and closing support. Activated Scale focuses on startups and growth-stage B2B SaaS teams, connecting them with vetted US-based SDRs, Account Executives, and sales leaders who can work fractionally, on contract, or through contract-to-hire.

Activated Scale is designed for Seed to Series A funded companies, B2B SaaS startups, early-stage technology companies, and founders who need to scale sales before building a full internal team. It is especially useful for companies without established sales teams, teams graduating from founder-led selling, or businesses that want to validate a salesperson before making a full-time hire.

Activated Scale can connect companies with vetted US-based sales talent in 7 days or less, and sometimes in under 48 hours. The process starts with a qualification call to understand your buyer, ACV, product, sales goals, and preferred engagement model. From there, matched candidates can begin part-time, full-time contract, or contract-to-hire engagements.

A fractional SDR or BDR focuses on outbound prospecting through email, phone, video, and social channels to book qualified meetings with target accounts. Activated Scale customers commonly book 10-15 meetings per month, while the talent works closely with founders to refine messaging, test outreach, and improve value proposition clarity during the engagement.

A fractional Account Executive manages more of the revenue cycle, including prospecting, discovery, demos, proposal development, negotiation, and closing. Activated Scale’s fractional AEs are experienced, US-based sales professionals who can support B2B SaaS businesses with deal sizes ranging from smaller commercial opportunities to enterprise-level contracts, with some customers winning $50,000 to $250,000 in new revenue monthly.

Fractional sales leadership is best when founder-led sales is working, but the company is not ready for a full-time VP of Sales or CRO. A fractional leader can design the go-to-market strategy, build sales playbooks, choose tools, coach the team, improve hiring decisions, and install a repeatable sales process before a permanent executive is needed.

Contract-to-hire sales recruiting lets you work with a vetted salesperson on contract before deciding whether to convert them to a full-time employee. This reduces the risk of an expensive mis-hire by validating the seller against your product, buyer, ACV, culture, and sales motion before extending a permanent offer. Activated Scale also offers free rematching and no termination fees.

Pricing depends on the role and engagement structure. Fractional SDRs are listed at $3,500-$4,500 per month plus commission, fractional AEs start around $4,500-$7,500 per month plus commission, and fractional VPs of Sales range from $8,000-$15,000 per month plus bonus. Activated Scale also notes $0 ongoing benefit or payroll costs and $0 termination fees.
