Background

About Max Bergen

An accomplished sales leader with extensive experience building high-performing teams in the SaaS industry. By combining data with modern, best-in-class SaaS sales strategies, I help organizations create repeatable sales processes to generate more revenue in less time. I have experience scaling sales teams from $0 to $10m+ ARR, creating customer-oriented and value-based sales methodologies, developing high-performing sales reps, and coaching teams of 50+ people. As the CRO at Clarity, I am responsible for developing and executing the company’s revenue strategy, bringing a strong track record of building and leading high-performing SaaS sales teams in co-located and hybrid work environments. Before joining Clarity, as the VP of Sales at Yembo, I recruited and hired a fully remote sales team during the pandemic, spearheaded initiatives to 3x average contract values in one year, 2x new revenue YoY, and led sales enablement efforts to achieve 120% average rep quota attainment. Previously, I was the 1st sales hire and 3rd employee at TrendKite (acquired by Cision for $225M), where I built the company’s sales process and sales methodology, transferred it to the rest of the sales org, and coached 8 of the top 10 reps. When not building sales teams and coaching others on the art of business conversations or sending sick emails, you can find me traveling the world to surf and ski, as well as, playing with my rescue dog, Bronco!
