Background

About Jake Affeldt

Results-driven sales professional with a strong track record of helping organizations succeed in the public sector. At GovSpend, I specialize in qualifying, guiding, and equipping companies to uncover new opportunities in the SLED (State, Local, and Education) space. My approach combines data-driven insights with a focus on building genuine relationships grounded in honesty and integrity. Previously, as an Area Director at ExploreLearning, I delivered 46% year-over-year growth, expanded market penetration across multiple states, and sustained a 90% customer renewal rate by creating lasting partnerships with educators and administrators. I thrive at the intersection of sales strategy and customer success—connecting solutions to real-world needs, uncovering market intelligence, and supporting teams with the tools they need to grow. My passion lies in fostering collaboration, simplifying complex processes, and delivering results that endure.
