Growth Freak
Portrait of Jennifer Hart

About

Hi, I’m Jennifer Hart.

Founder of Growth Freak and a fractional VP of Sales. I’ve spent more than 20 years building and leading sales organizations that deliver revenue, not just activity.

In 2020 I founded Growth Freak to bring that same senior leadership to companies that aren’t ready for, or don’t want, a full-time $250K+ VP hire. I step in, own the strategy, build the team and systems, and drive predictable growth so founders can focus on what they do best.

Why founders choose me

Senior experience, direct ownership.

Proven revenue results

$8.5M+ in new SaaS and software revenue, $2.5M in first-year premium at Aflac, and $5M+ in enterprise accounts managed. A track record, not hypotheticals.

A fractional model that works

Senior leadership on a flexible basis. Remote-first and focused on results, without the full-time salary or long-term commitment.

Systems over activity

Repeatable processes, a clean CRM, forecasting, and a team culture that deliver consistent growth, not one-off founder-led wins.

CEO-to-CEO straight talk

I run my own business too. You get honest feedback about what’s working, what isn’t, and what I’d do next.

How I work

The 6-D process.

Fix the right things first, build the engine, then hand you a system that keeps working after I step back.

  1. 01

    Audit & diagnose

    A full review of pipeline health, team performance, CRM, processes, and revenue leaks. You get a clear baseline and a prioritized roadmap.

  2. 02

    Define strategy & go-to-market

    Ideal customer, messaging, target markets, and a sales funnel that gets you out of founder-led selling.

  3. 03

    Build the systems

    CRM, automation, forecasting, and dashboards to replace spreadsheets and guesswork.

  4. 04

    Hire & build the team

    The right reps, onboarding, defined roles, KPIs, and a coaching rhythm that drives accountability.

  5. 05

    Activate & optimize

    Launch prospecting, manage the pipeline, coach on objections, and adjust based on real data.

  6. 06

    Scale & sustain

    Add channels and partners, grow capacity, and hand over a playbook that keeps working after I step back.
