About Cheyne
Sales experience you can put to work.
I'm Cheyne Kelley, co-founder of Accelerate Management Group. I work with B2B founders who need someone to run deals and build the process behind them.
Ten years in B2B sales.
I've spent ten years in B2B sales, progressing from sales development to enterprise account executive roles. As a founding sales hire at a venture-backed AI startup, I built the sales process from zero and closed approximately $350K in enterprise total contract value in under a year.
My experience includes opening a sports vertical, expanding a Fortune 500 media account, and managing and coaching sales reps at enterprise organizations. Over my career I've closed more than $1M in B2B revenue, selling into healthcare, insurance, banking, manufacturing, SaaS, defense, media, and sports.
The process should help the next conversation.
I care about whether qualification changes what you pursue, whether CRM stages describe reality, and whether every live deal has an owner and a next step. The goal is a system your team uses while it sells.
