Independent RevOps Solutions Architect · Available for contract

Senior delivery capacity, behind your brand

I subcontract to agencies and consultancies on RevOps work that has to land: integration builds and rescues, CRM migrations, and revenue-stack architecture. Fifteen years of it, sixty-plus client engagements, and five years spent doing exactly this kind of delivery inside a RevOps consultancy.

01 / Where I come in

Three reasons agencies call

Sold work, no senior capacity

The SOW is signed and the delivery calendar has no room in it. You need someone who can be in front of your client next week without anyone checking their work.

A build that has gone wrong

It failed in production, the client is unhappy, and the person who built it has moved on. This was my role for five years: the one the practice escalated to when the relationship was at stake.

A specialist you can't justify hiring

Deep Tray.ai or n8n work arrives twice a year. Carrying that skill full-time makes no sense, and staffing it from a general contractor pool has already gone badly once.

02 / What you can hand me

Three engagements, each with a scope and a number

Fixed-bid on defined scopes, hourly for open-ended delivery support. Either way you can price the work into your own proposal before we get on a call.

Integration Build & Rescue

Tray.ai · n8n · Workato · custom REST/SOAP

Fixed-bid $6–12k · 2–4 weeks

Start an integration build

New builds, stalled projects, and the integration nobody on the team can debug. I take the work that can't go sideways.

Most failed integrations die the same way: the happy path demoed beautifully and nobody scoped the error handling. Three weeks into production a null payload, an API version bump, or a rate limit takes it down, and by then the person who built it has moved on.

I build with dead-letter queues on every callable, idempotent retries, and alerting that lands in a channel someone actually reads. When the work is a rescue, that instrumentation is usually the first thing I add — you cannot fix what you cannot see failing.

Migration Sprint

Salesforce↔HubSpot · Pardot↔HubSpot · Marketo→anywhere

Fixed-bid $8–15k · 3–5 weeks

Start a migration sprint

Object mapping, data integrity, automation rebuild, cutover and validation — run repeatedly, with playbooks and tooling that already exist.

Migration checklists all describe field mapping. Field mapping is the easy half. The hard half is data archaeology: discovering that forty thousand contacts carry three competing definitions of lifecycle stage, each one correct according to whoever built it, and that no document anywhere records which is current.

So I start with the definitions rather than the schema. Get those settled and the cutover becomes mechanical. Skip that step and you have faithfully migrated a mess into a more expensive system.

RevOps Diagnostic

The two-week map

$3,500 fixed · 2 weeks

Book the diagnostic

Stakeholder interviews, current and future-state process maps, a data-model review, and a roadmap scored by effort and impact.

Most teams asking for a rebuild do not yet have agreement on what is broken. Sales, marketing and CS each hold a different theory, all of them partly right, and the rebuild gets scoped around whichever theory belongs to whoever is loudest.

Two weeks of structured interviews and a hands-on look at the data model settles that. The deliverable is a prioritized roadmap — which, for an agency, doubles as a scoped proposal for the phases that follow.

03 / How this works

White-label by default

Most of the friction in subcontracting comes from things nobody said out loud at the start. Here is my half of that, before you ask.

You sold it, I deliver it: Your brand, your client relationship, your project manager. I can stay entirely behind the scenes or join client calls as a member of your team — whichever you sell better.
No supervision required: Fifteen years and sixty-plus engagements. I can run discovery, scope the build, deliver it, and document the handoff without a senior reviewer in the loop.
Fast to start: A W-9, a mutual NDA, and a written scope is all it takes. I have signed and started inside a week, and I bring my own tooling and licenses.
Fixed scopes finished: Anything scoped and started gets completed, month-to-month with 30-day notice either way. No exclusivity, no six-month minimums.

04 / Track record

What the record shows

Client names stay out of this — they belong to the people who paid for the work, and to the firm that sold it. The engagements are all real, and I am happy to walk through any of them in detail on a call.

A client wrote me into their contract: When the firm expanded its largest annual agreement, the client made my continued involvement a written condition of the renewal. I was sole delivery architect on that account for eighteen months.
I was the call once it had already gone wrong: I led the integrations team at a RevOps consultancy and became the person the practice escalated to when a build had failed badly enough that the client relationship was at stake. Rescue work is not a sideline; it is most of what I was handed.
Delivery that grew the account: Six figures of contract expansion came out of work I was already doing — noticing the adjacent problem while inside the system, and proposing something specific. Whoever owns the relationship, that is the difference between billing the scope and protecting the account.
Credentials you can check: Salesforce Certified Sales Cloud Consultant and Platform Administrator, sixty-plus client engagements across fifteen years, and the same delivery depth on HubSpot. Everything here holds up to questions on a call.

05 / Platforms

Salesforce and HubSpot. Tray.ai and n8n.

Most people who work on a revenue stack are a Salesforce person or a HubSpot person, and most integration work gets done on whichever platform the shop already licenses. I have built on both sides of both — including thirty-plus production integrations on Tray.ai alone, where I was the escalation point for the ones that had gone wrong.

That is what makes a migration between the two CRMs credible — I know what breaks on each side before it does, rather than learning it on your cutover.

The same applies to the automation layer. Tray.ai buys governance, monitoring and a support contract; n8n buys control and a fraction of the running cost, and hands you the reliability problem in return. Having shipped production builds on both, I can tell you which one your problem actually needs instead of the one I happen to be licensed for.

06 / About

Brandon Ashton

Independent RevOps Solutions Architect

I have spent fifteen years on the plumbing underneath revenue teams — the CRM, the automation platform, and the integrations quietly holding the two together.

That started in marketing operations, running campaign infrastructure for banking clients at the scale where a bad list costs real money, and where I replaced a brittle licensed ETL process with a Python pipeline that did the job better for none of the annual fee. It continued through five years at a RevOps consultancy, where I led the integrations team and became the person the practice escalated to when a build had gone wrong enough that the client relationship was at stake.

More recently I have been building software rather than only configuring it — including a multi-tenant platform that puts LLM agents in front of live Salesforce and HubSpot instances, with tenant isolation enforced at the infrastructure layer. That work is the reason I am blunt about AI in the revenue stack: the technology is ready long before most companies’ data is, and the gap between those two facts is where the failed pilots come from.

I am equally comfortable in technical discovery with an engineering team and presenting the outcome to an executive who wants to know what it cost and what it fixed. If you are bringing me in front of your client, that second half matters as much as the first.

Tell me what you have sold, and I will tell you if I can deliver it

A short description of the scope and the timeline is enough to start. If it is not a fit I will say so on the first call, and where I can I will point you toward someone better suited.
