Hire Remote Sales Team for B2B Startups and Scaleups

Activated Scale connects B2B startups and scaleups with vetted US-based sales professionals who work remotely on contract, fractional, part-time, or full-time engagements. Roles can include SDRs, BDRs, Account Executives, sales operations leaders, and fractional sales executives. The model helps founders add sales capacity quickly while validating fit before making a full-time hire.

Most clients are connected with sales talent in 7 days or less, and some matches can happen in under 48 hours. The timeline depends on the role, target buyer, deal complexity, and required experience. Activated Scale’s pre-vetted network reduces sourcing and interview time, saving founders 20+ hours per salesperson on hiring activities.

Activated Scale supports fractional SDRs and BDRs, fractional Account Executives, full-cycle sellers, sales operations leaders, and fractional sales leadership roles such as VP of Sales, Head of Sales, CRO, or Sales Director. The right role depends on whether you need outbound meetings, closed revenue, sales process design, or senior go-to-market leadership.

Fractional SDRs typically range from $3,500 to $4,500 per month plus commission, while fractional Account Executives start around $4,500 per month plus commission. Fractional VP of Sales engagements range from $8,000 to $15,000 per month plus bonus. Pricing can vary by role, hours, experience level, and engagement structure.

The contract-to-hire model lets you work with a salesperson on a contract basis before deciding whether to convert them into a full-time employee. This helps startups validate performance against their ACV, buyer, sales cycle, and product before committing to salary, benefits, and long-term payroll obligations.

Activated Scale’s sales professionals are vetted through interviews and case-study pitches, with talent sourced from companies such as Salesforce, Oracle, MongoDB, Datadog, Zendesk, ZoomInfo, IBM, Square, and others. The focus is on experienced, hungry, US-based salespeople who can work closely with founders and adapt to startup environments.

Fractional SDRs and BDRs focus on outbound prospecting through email, phone, social media, and video to book qualified meetings. Activated Scale notes that current customers often book 10–15 meetings per month, with broader fractional selling engagements averaging 11–14 new meetings monthly. Results depend on targeting, messaging, offer strength, and sales motion.

Yes. Many engagements are designed with an option to convert the salesperson into a full-time employee when the fit is strong. This creates a practical path from fractional or contract work to a permanent sales hire, helping founders reduce hiring risk while keeping the transition quick, easy, and affordable.
