ABOUT SHAWN BENNION
Most growing businesses hit the same wall: Revenue feels unpredictable. The sales team is underperforming. And hiring a full-time VP of Sales at $175–300K feels out of reach.That\'s where I come in.I\'m a Fractional VP of Sales & founder of Bennion Revenue Architects. I provide world-class sales leadership: building the system, leading the team, & engineering the growth.Revenue isn\'t luck. It\'s architecture.Here\'s what makes me different from the typical sales consultant:I can personally sell — I\'ve broken sales records at every company I\'ve sold for. I\'ve spent 20+ years training others to execute at the highest level. I build the strategy and system. I\'ve studied the science of persuasion at the graduate level — Purdue, the University of Chicago, and Claremont Graduate University — I understand not just what works, but why it works.What that means for your business:→ A proven, repeatable sales process your team will actually use→ Clear pipeline visibility — no more guessing where next month\'s revenue is coming from→ Weekly coaching that turns reps into consistent top performers→ A revenue system built to scale beyond youThe RESULTS speak for themselves:+1,237% revenue growth in 18 months +667% gross revenue in 7 months 2.5× profitability increase in under 90 days Inc. recognition (Multiple Companies) J.D. Power AwardI work with businesses who have 1–20 person sales teams in Southern California.I\'m selective about who I take on.

Able to lead, coach, and develop bilingual sales teams and support companies expanding into Hispanic markets.I\'ve lived in Latin America, giving me a deep understanding of how Latin American business culture operates — the relationship-first approach, the communication style, the values that drive decision-making.There\'s a way to work together that fits where you are right now.Whether you need full embedded sales leadership or a strategic foundation to build from, I offer engagement levels designed for growing businesses at different stages. Let\'s find the right fit.I am a licensed SalesQB Fractional Sales Leader, bringing a nationally recognized sales management framework to SMBs — while operating under my firm, Bennion Revenue Architects.If your sales team isn\'t producing what it should — or you\'re tired of carrying the numbers yourself — let\'s talk. bennionrevenue.com calendly.com/shawnbennion/consultation
