C-LEVEL SALES GUY · DALLAS
Work directly with me. I'll help you build software that sells.
After twenty years selling enterprise software to the largest companies, I've now built a system that builds software informed by that standard, on iPhone, Android and the web. Work with me and you get two things: the system I've built, and twenty years of selling and marketing to the largest companies, put to work for you.
- Built in a software factory, not a shop. AI agents - the Designosaurs™ - carry the idea from the first conversation to native code for iPhone, Android and the web.
- Three looks, switchable while the app runs. Yours to pick from a twenty-five-theme library (and growing weekly), or a new one built from your brand.
- From "OK" to "Wow". The factory takes us from "idea, brief or concept" to "working at more than a Minimum Viable Product level" because of the automation, internal testing and application of pre-approved style catalogs. This then allows the human being to focus on all the little things that take the experience from "OK" to "Wow".
Design partners. If you run a design studio and a client has just asked for an app, let's leverage your expertise and your brand to build it together for iPhone, Android and the web. The client stays yours.
Co-development partners. If you know a market and have a product in mind, we build it together. You bring the customers and the domain. I bring the build and twenty years of selling. We share what it earns.
Evaluating new software: Lessons my clients taught me
When you meet with the CIO, the director of architecture, and senior IT staff, you learn what really matters. Sure, there are really important elements to navigate - things like budgets, working with existing tech stack and skills, and privacy, scale and governance. Ultimately though it all comes down to this - Trust. I bring that lesson to the factory, this business and to anything we decide to do together.
My Sales Journey
Whether it was for Oracle, Noetix, Halliburton, Talend or a startup company you've never heard of, I've had an amazing career in software sales. I've won cool awards (Top Technology Sales Representative in the US for the communications and utilities group at Oracle), set records (the largest license and support deal in the company's twenty year history at Noetix), and created lifetime bonds with Customers, Partners, and Colleagues.
Here are a few Selected Deals from my resume
Core platforms, data warehousing, middleware, cloud e-discovery, data integration, field data science. Telecom and utilities, oil and gas, retail and grocery, restaurants, financial services, legal, state government.
The Factory Comes to Life
The system was built over the past year and had its soft launch this month. Here's what we've built so far.
- Podium, 2026: the cockpit the business runs on; five boards ratified in September; 128 changes accepted in one week.
- The Conductor's Office, 2026: the mail and message desk; 103,950 emails and 33,545 texts sorted, with events proposed to the calendar.
- A fitness app for a partner, 2026: native on iPhone and Android, first build on the simulator on September 17th; a web companion behind a partner link.
- This site, September 2026: nine pages, rebuilt in a week.
- A demo for a design studio, September 25th: their public site read into three catalog looks of their own.
- Seven releases through three stages this month.
Nerd out with Jack
Learn about my software stack and how the work gets done. The math I had to learn for an MIT class on machine learning. A twelve-hour Yale course on well-being that I took in August 2019, which I thought was for fun but helped me survive COVID the following year. Why doing theatre makes for a better salesperson.
Talk to Jack
Hit me back at jack@clevelsalesguy.com, and we can talk about what you want to do and for whom. If it makes sense, we can use the system to sanity-check the build vs. buy, and build out a quick prototype - using some of our existing style catalogs or building a new one from your specs. If you have a Product Requirements Document, we can start with that. If you don't yet, then we can use the system to suss one out based on a question and answer session with our agentic dino friends. Your call.
Where to next
- What we build. How we use the system on ourselves first: the build path, what runs today, and what comes next.
- How it works. From "we should build something" through the testing, the shipping and the keeping-it-running, as designed and as it runs today.
- Looks. The Conductor's Office screen in every look the library holds, with the contrast numbers behind each one.
- The Designosaurs. Meet the nine, with their video introductions, and what each has built so far.
- Nerd out. The stack, the fleet, the Designosaur cards front and back, the math I had to learn, and the theatre.
- Positioning. Who this is for, the pricing policy, and the limits on what I claim.
- Differentiators. Ten of them, each with its current status and the evidence behind it.
- Talk to Jack. Back to the top, if you already know what you want to build.
