Jake Dunlap

I love the science and art of sales and it's why I've dedicated the last 9 years to building a global, world class sales consulting firm

Courtesy of G2, we were rated higher than McKinsey in Management Consulting and Accenture in Sales Consulting by changing the way we define "consulting." 

How? We created a new bar where the goal is results and not recommendations. 

Strategic vision and tactical strategy execution is how you generate results today.

With 40+ employees and a network of 100s of top experts, we are dedicated to helping individuals and organizations: 

• Align sales and marketing organizations to increase sales productivity 10-20% 
• Create replicability via advanced processes and sales methodologies 
• Automate follow up, data entry, and task management in CRM and the sales stack

This was one of the most amazing opportunities I have had to change the way that restaurants think about engaging with guests and managing throughout at the same time. 

How do you provide a world class experience for guests and ensure that your internal team can manage the flow of guests on your busiest days/nights?  This is what we helped 1000s of restaurants accomplish everyday. 

I built out, managed and led the process for how NoWait engaged with and deployed its software and service to the largest restaurant groups in the United States and Canada including Brinker (Chili’s), Applebee’s, BWW, Cheddars, On the Border and 1000s of other leading restaurants to transform the way they treat and manage their guest experience at the front of the house.

Chartbeat

Partnered with the leading publishers (ESPN, New York Times, Wall Street Journal and 100s of others) and the largest websites in the world to better understand their audience in real-time. 

Developed and managed the growth, development and execution of product outreach, sales and account-management strategies to ensure Chartbeat met the need of our partners at the strategic and tactical levels. 

Over the course of the year and early 2013, we transformed the organization from a one-person function to four departments comprised of sales development, account executives, Chartcorps (service) and customer success to specialize in solving the needs of the largest websites in the world. 

In 2012, we grew annual bookings by more than 300% year-over-year and nearly doubled monthly recurring revenue during the first nine months

Head of Sales & Customer Success

Glassdoor

10 years after Glassdoor launched we sold to Recruit (owner of Indeed) for 1.2 billion dollars.  

My piece of this amazing journey was two fold:

1. Change the way that employers think about how they interact with their current employees, interviewees and attract the top new hires. 

2. Build a sales, success, service and operations organization that could consult and service the largest companies in the world on how to find and retain their most valuable asset - their people. 

From 2010-2012, I spearheaded the day-to-day operations of all sales, operations and account management, expanding the department from 0 to 40 employees in less than 18 months. 

We grew to $1 million MRR in less than 18 months and developed sales and operations training program as well as client-services workflow.

Had the amazing opportunity to work hands with Rich Barton, Bill Gurley and some of the other titans of Silicon Valley directly while reporting to the CEO and board of directors
