Work directly with me. I'll help you build software that sells.

Jack Agnew

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, or a new one built from your brand.
  • Checks first, taste second. The machine catches the obvious errors; a real person weighs in on what looks and feels right before anything ships. Every decision is on the record.

I work with two kinds of partners.

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.

What I learned from my customers

When you're in a meeting with the CIO, his director of architecture, and senior IT staff, and they're deciding which projects to fund, and how to implement them, you learn what really matters. It always comes down to budgets, their existing tech stack and skills, and privacy, scale and governance. In short - Trust. Your client's buyers hold the same standard, whether you are a studio handing over an app or a founder taking a product to market, and I built that standard into the system rather than into a pitch.

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.

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.

What we build

Nerd out with Jack

The mechanics, the reading, and the parts of me that show up in the work. The stack, the fleet and the proof points behind each Designosaur. The math I had to learn for MIT. A twelve-hour Yale course on well-being in August 2019, which I thought was for fun; who knew how much I would need it the following year. Why theater makes a better salesperson (twenty-three leading roles at Repertory Company Theatre, Valjean to Max Bialystock; special skills: buffoonery, cartwheels, auctions).

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

  1. What we build. How we use the system on ourselves first: the build path, what runs today, and what comes next.
  2. How it works. From "we should build something" through the checks, the ship and the keeping-it-running, as designed and as it runs today.
  3. Looks. The Conductor's Office screen in every look the library holds, with the contrast numbers behind each one.
  4. The Designosaurs. Meet the nine, with their video introductions, and what each has built so far.
  5. Nerd out. The stack, the fleet, the Designosaur cards front and back, the math I had to learn, and the theater.
  6. Positioning. Who this is for, the pricing policy, and the limits on what I claim.
  7. Differentiators. Ten of them, each with its current status and the evidence behind it.
  8. Talk to Jack. Back to the top, if you already know what you want to build.
