Don’t Just Take My Word for It
I’ve worked with founders, sales leaders, and clients who don’t hand out praise lightly — and they’ve seen what I bring to the table. Here’s what they had to say after working with me directly in the trenches.
Jon was a valuable part of the early success we had at Qualia. He worked hard to build and establish relationships in his sales territory and was instrumental in the successful distribution in the area. Looking forward to seeing Jon work to close larger and larger deals as he moves about in his career.

I am pleased to highly recommend Jonathon Garcia for a position as a Sales Executive in a fully remote capacity. As the Co-Founder of DataFlik, I had the privilege of working closely with Jonathon during his tenure with us. Jonathon was our first sales hire and was instrumental in building our sales organization. In his first year, he generated over $3.1 million in revenue, exceeding our planned quota by 100%. His exceptional performance and strategic insights led to his promotion to Senior Founding Account Executive. Beyond his individual achievements, Jonathon contributed significantly across departments. He shared valuable insights that enhanced our business strategies and took the initiative to train new sales representatives. His leadership and mentorship were key to our team's growth and success. One of Jonathon’s most remarkable qualities is his ability to deliver outstanding results while working fully remotely from various cities across Europe. Despite the challenges of different time zones and locations, he consistently exceeded expectations without any issues. His success as a remote worker is a testament to his discipline, communication skills, and adaptability. He also enriched our company culture, fostering team cohesion and bridging cultural gaps among teammates in different countries.

Prior to working with Jonathan, I had no formalized sales journey, let alone one that was scalable, repeatable, and measurable. I wasted time on purposeless calls, and my conversion rates suffered. Jonathan provided the foundational bedrock for my sales journey with prospects, which has led to faster deal cycles, higher conversion rates, and record company revenues.
Having worked with Jonathan and hired him in two separate roles, I can say that there's no higher praise that a leader can give to a teammate other than to keep going back to the well and bringing them on to new teams. There's a reason that Jonathan has been on the short list of "guys you can count on" in the sales world in Austin. Jonathan exhibits the perfect balance of team mentality and "worry about your own paycheck" type drive. That's a difficult balance to find and is really key in building great teams. Jonathan knows when to lend a piece of advice or encouragement, but he also knows when it's time to put his head down and stay in his lane. In terms of concrete sales skill, Jonathan has exceptional ability to connect quickly with prospects using an above average sense of empathy and combining it was a good sense of overall prospect strategy. Like a lot of high level performers, Jonathan expects to be pushed. If you're looking for cogs in a machine, you're wasting a lot of talent here. If you're looking for someone that can be easily trained to be a self-sustaining sales machine, you've found your guy.

I am the principal software engineer at SnapClose, a Cornerstone Management company. I’m responsible for building a full real-estate closing platform from the ground up. I have worked with Jon for the past year to great effect. While he was growing our Sales organization, he also provided a wealth of knowledge and creativity to my agile software team. As a Sales leader, he knows what will turn heads with customers, and suggests easy to execute wins for development. He operated as Product Owner of my team, providing an in-depth product roadmap for our new platform. He interfaced with design, engineering, and domain experts, while achieving his prime directive to institute a sales pipeline that delivers consistent results. Jonathan speaks his mind, executes on leadership decisions, and brings a fun attitude and culture to the workplace. He is a natural closer, a leader, and a great teammate. ■ He directed our Marketing and Success teams to implement our first inbound Sales pipeline ■ He led the Product team in developing the roadmap for a full software platform replacement ■ Jonathan systematically trained new sales staff while discontinuing weak performers. His sales success enabled funding for my engineering team.

Jon is the type of AE every customer wants to grab a drink with. His genuine interest in every person who he speaks with allows him to build trust and add value in each interaction. And he does this all while being 100% remote. Jon is adaptable and intuitive when handling complex sales and large deals with multiple stakeholders. He is at the forefront of new sales strategies and technologies always looking for ways to efficiently reduce the sales cycle. I highly recommend him for any senior sales role

I've worked with Jon for over a year, consulting for the same company. I can't give him enough praise as a Sales Director. He has an innate ability to identify new sales markets and prepare a strategy accordingly. I personally witnessed his skills as a mentor, having been taught by him about the overall industry and customers we were targeting. It is that ability to truly understand the customer that I found helpful when working with Jonathan. Highly recommended!
- Mitchell Sullivan
I had the pleasure of working with Jon in my role as Head of Strategic Sales at Alyce. During our time together, I was consistently impressed by his work ethic and positive attitude. Jon consistently demonstrated a strong drive to achieve his goals and was always willing to go the extra mile to meet the needs of the business. Although Jon ultimately moved on from Alyce, I would still highly recommend him for a sales role as he is a dedicated and hard-working individual who would be an asset to any team. If you're looking for a hungry, driven and charismatic saas salesperson, I highly recommend Jon Garcia.

Jonathon was my contact at Constrafor and was excellent at onboarding me to the company as a client. We chose Constrafor specifically due to my conversations with Jonathon and I found him to be an effective salesperson. I actually stopped conversations with competitors after my first call with him because I felt he would address my company's needs.
- Charles Miller
I had the pleasure of working with Jonathon at DataFlik, where I saw firsthand how he consistently closed deals and contributed to the company’s success. His proactive approach to connecting with our international team really stood out, and he brought energy and fun to our company culture. I truly appreciated his efforts and recommend him highly. Such a nice person :)

I had the pleasure of working with Jonathan during his time at Contentful. As a partner, he showed a very proactive attitude in order to grow our customers and also look for new ones. Jonathan constantly proposed new ways of approaching prospects together, always seeking the best for the client, Contentful, and us. He always kept a positive attitude and was eager to learn more about the LATAM market, making him a very important part of our regional operation.

Jonathan is far and away one of the most consistent quota hitting sales people I have ever worked with. The ability for him to create a personal process for success while navigating a highly intense sales organization is unparalleled. As someone in sales leadership it’s very refreshing to have someone like Jonathan on the team that you can depend on to, without a doubt, bring in numbers. Most sales people set very high expectations for themselves and struggle to follow through on those expectations...however, Jonathan is one of those truly unique sales professionals that will always deliver on exactly what he sets out to accomplish. Whether it’s delivering a quota, being a contributing member to a company culture or even accomplishing personal growth, Jonathan will not fall short. Authenticity is very difficult to find in the sales industry but I can honestly say there is no mistake on what you get with Jonathan. He would be a great senior sales addition to any organization...new start-up or established company.

Jonathan is such as asset to his company. He recruited my company to sign up with Qualia and we have worked closely with him for months. He was patient yet persistent and worked tirelessly to win us over. He was knowledgeable about the system and could answer just about any question. Even after we signed on, Jonathan made sure we were taken care of, going above and beyond what his job duties probably were to respond to our questions and concerns. He is our “go-to” and he is known around our office even without having been there. What strikes me the most about Jonathan is his dedication to the product he is offering. He gives 110% and I know he would be an asset anywhere he goes.

My company, Wagon Wheel, purchased a software product from Jonathan. We were beyond pleased with him as a salesperson and he has become a post-sale friend of our organization. Jonathan was instantly able to gain our trust and to sell us something that we originally had no intention of buying. He knew the solutions to needs that we had not voiced, had instant credibility and was knowledgeable about his product. We were impressed with the ease of the entire process and with his ability to remove the pain points from the sales/buying process. Thanks, Jonathan!
- Angie Lawless
Jonathan was able to effectively demonstrate a product that revolutionized my business. His guidance and patience throughout the process turned what could have been too good to be true product turn off, into winning over my trust and ultimately delivered on the promises made. He tackled the title insurance industry clients that are stuck in their ways and near impossible to convert. He truly listened to my needs which made me feel comfortable and allowed me to sell myself on product without being pushed. Thank you for crushing my fear of change and walking me toward a better way of doing business!
- Bill Thompson
Jonathan is the best sales person I worked with hands down! He listened to my needs as a buyer and found the best plan for us. And when we tried to modify it to get more out of the deal he helped us understand the costs out weighed the benefits for us at this time. In a world of sales guys trying to push to the get the sale ,Jonathan was focused on helping us get the best value and establish a long term relationship.
- Brian Bartholomew
Jonathan is a great addition to the team. He has a strong ability to think outside the box, increase prospect engagement and build pipeline. Additionally Jonathan is a great team player. He takes the time to work with his peers helping them strengthen skills, close deals and improve GTM strategies. I would highly recommend Jonathan in the future for any type of strategic enterprise role in Saas or finance.
