About Linkford

Phone verified

I'm a high-ticket closer and sales strategist who helps companies scale by turning qualified leads into closed deals. I partner with businesses offering premium products or services - especially those with strong pipelines - so they can focus on delivering results while I focus on revenue. Whether it’s remote or in-person, I manage the entire sales process: from first contact and nurturing, to objection handling and closing. I bring not only sales expertise but also a powerful, cross-industry network built over years of deal-making in sectors like telecoms, military tech, aviation, alternative finance, and software. What I’m Looking For I'm actively seeking aligned companies that are: - Selling high-ticket offers or investment-worthy opportunities - Working with qualified, ready-to-buy leads - Offering strong commission structures, ideally with recurring potential - In need of a dedicated closer or outsourced sales team I thrive in two types of relationships: Long-Term, High-Value Engagements: Where I become a trusted sales asset, navigating extended sales cycles and large accounts. Ad-Hoc "Bread and Butter" Sales: Shorter cycles that deliver consistent wins and momentum for your business. Why I Chose This Path: Sales isn’t just a job for me - it’s my craft. I became self-employed so I could bring that craft to businesses I believe in, on terms that drive real value. Being outside the confines of traditional contracts means I can work across multiple industries, leverage creativity, and stay agile - qualities that clients rely on for competitive edge. A Highlight Worth Sharing: I broke into the ultra-competitive South African construction market by introducing Lucky Cement, a high-quality import that undercut local pricing. My strategy was so effective that industry giant PPC tried to sue me for "market confusion" - a move that only confirmed I’d disrupted the status quo. That deal expanded my network and led to opportunities in telecom, defence, and beyond. If You’re a Good Fit: If you're a founder, investor, or company with a product worth selling and leads worth closing, let’s talk. I bring drive, results, and a network that converts.
