Outsourced Food Sales and Marketing Services

Outsourced food sales and marketing services give food, beverage, and food-tech companies access to external sales talent, strategy, outreach, and revenue execution without immediately hiring full-time employees. With Activated Scale, that can include fractional SDRs, account executives, VP-level sales leaders, lead generation support, sales operations, messaging refinement, and full-cycle deal management.

These services are especially useful for founders, Seed to Series A companies, early-stage technology businesses, food-tech teams, and companies that need sales capacity but do not yet have a fully established sales organization. They can also help teams entering new channels, validating outbound sales, or testing whether a fractional hire should become a full-time employee.

Activated Scale can connect companies with vetted, US-based fractional sales professionals in 7 days or less, and sometimes on the same day. Fractional SDR matching is typically available in under 7 days, while fractional account executive matching can occur in under 10 days, helping teams start quickly without a long recruiting cycle.

You can outsource several revenue roles, including fractional SDRs or BDRs for outreach and meeting booking, fractional account executives for full-cycle selling, fractional VPs of Sales for go-to-market leadership, and sales operations specialists for process and infrastructure. Each role is designed to fill a specific gap in your growth motion.

Activated Scale’s listed fractional SDRs cost between $3,500 and $4,500 per month plus commission. Fractional account executives start at $4,500 per month plus commission and may range up to $7,500. Fractional VPs of Sales range from $8,000 to $15,000 per month plus bonus, with no termination fees or ongoing benefits and payroll costs.

Yes. Activated Scale supports a contract-to-hire model, allowing clients to work with fractional sales talent first and convert strong performers into full-time employees if desired. This try-before-you-buy approach helps founders evaluate performance, culture fit, communication style, and revenue impact before making a permanent hiring decision.

Results vary by market, offer, sales cycle, and execution, but Activated Scale reports that current customers book 10–15 meetings per month with fractional SDRs. Customers using fractional account executives have won between $50,000 and $250,000 in new revenue per month, and the company cites up to 5X increases in qualified prospect meetings.

Activated Scale offers free rematching, giving clients flexibility if the first fractional salesperson is not the best fit. This reduces the risk common in traditional sales hiring, where recruiting, onboarding, payroll, and benefits costs can accumulate before performance is clear. The model is designed to keep hiring flexible and accountable.
