Your U.S. Sales Engine,
Powered by LATAM Talent.

SouthGen places pre-vetted, bilingual LATAM sales contractors with U.S. CPG and B2B brands — then manages them through a structured 6-step program built to land at least one closed U.S. distributor or retail deal per engagement.

Launch Faster

Go from "we need sales coverage" to a fully deployed, bilingual rep plus channel playbook in under one month.

Scale Without Hiring Risk

Access elite LATAM sales talent and structured management without adding full-time U.S. payroll overhead.

Built-In Sales Leadership

SouthGen runs weekly coaching, KPI accountability, and pipeline optimization so founders stay focused on growth.

Outcome-Driven Engagement

Your engagement is structured around tangible U.S. pipeline traction and closed-deal momentum, not vanity activity.

The U.S. Sales Labor Gap Is Real — and It's Costing You Distributor Slots.

Cost

A full-time U.S. sales rep costs $70K–$110K/year before benefits or commissions — inaccessible for most emerging CPG brands below $2M in revenue.

Speed

Hiring cycles run 8–12 weeks. By then, the distributor window is gone and a competitor has the shelf slot you should have owned.

Fit

Most U.S. reps chase transaction volume over brand relationships — the wrong incentive for early-stage CPG brands building their first distributor network.

Bandwidth

Founders cannot source, vet, onboard, train, and manage a sales force while running operations. One of those tasks always gets dropped — and it's never operations.

World-class bilingual sales talent. 40–60% below U.S. rates.

Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil produce driven, bilingual sales professionals who are culturally fluent with U.S. distributors, buyers, and retailers — and available at a fraction of domestic costs. The talent exists at scale. SouthGen is the vetting, placement, and management infrastructure to deploy it with zero guesswork.

Strategy. Talent. Management. Three layers. One engagement.

U.S. GTM Strategy

A custom 90-day go-to-market playbook built for your brand, target channel, and U.S. distribution tier — delivered within 7 days of engagement start.

  • ICP definition: distributors, brokers & retail buyers
  • Channel prioritization (Faire, Amazon, retail, foodservice)
  • Territory mapping & 30/60/90-day KPI framework
  • Proven cold outreach sequences ready to launch

Elite LATAM Talent

3–5 pre-vetted, bilingual LATAM rep candidates — sourced, screened, and presented within 15 days. Every candidate clears SouthGen's rigorous 3-round vetting process.

  • Async video application review
  • 20-min English fluency & culture-fit interview
  • 30-min live U.S. sales roleplay assessment
  • You make the final hire decision

Ongoing Sales Management

SouthGen manages your rep for the full 6-step engagement — acting as your fractional Head of Sales without appearing on your payroll or org chart.

  • Weekly KPI reviews & structured coaching
  • CRM hygiene audits & outreach optimization
  • Monthly executive sales reports delivered to you
  • Pitch adaptation based on real U.S. market data

The Direct-Pay Model

ZERO AGENCY LIABILITY

SouthGen never touches contractor payroll — this is non-negotiable, and it's a structural advantage. You pay your LATAM rep directly via Wise or Payoneer in their preferred currency. SouthGen charges only the one-time Activation Fee and the monthly Management Retainer. Full stop.

Zero international employment law exposure
No contractor tax complexity for either party
Full payment transparency — zero labor markup

Milestone-driven. Fully managed. Built to close U.S. deals.

A
Days 1–24 Activation Phase

Activation Phase

Your custom U.S. GTM playbook delivered in 7 days. 3–5 pre-vetted bilingual rep candidates presented by Day 15. You make the hire decision between Days 20–24. You walk away with a signed rep, a channel-specific playbook, and a ready-to-launch outreach stack targeting U.S. distributors and retailers.

1
Step 1

Foundation

Pipeline architecture and CRM established for U.S. distributor and buyer outreach. ICP targeting training tailored to your channel. Supervised cold call trials. Email outbound launched with real-time optimization.

2
Step 2

Launch

Outreach machine goes live. Warm distributor and buyer accounts surface. Rep books meetings with qualified U.S. contacts under SouthGen coaching. Product sample coordination with your top prospects begins.

3
Step 3

Pipeline

Pipeline deepens across U.S. distributor and retail targets. SouthGen coaches every active deal — objection handling, follow-up timing, buyer relationship strategy. 10+ U.S. accounts in active deal stages.

4
Step 4

Momentum

Multiple U.S. buyer meetings completed and debriefed. Target: 150+ contacts with 10–12 warm accounts in active conversation. Pitch sharpened from accumulated field data. Rep accountability reviewed weekly.

5
Step 5

First ROI

The first U.S. deal closes. Coaching pivots to account management — relationship deepening, upsell identification, renewal prep. SouthGen reviews the deal economics with you and validates program ROI.

6
Step 6 Contract Complete

First Close

Distributor deals start closing. Multiple warm leads near close. Rep is functional and performing independently inside your sales motion. You choose your path: upgrade to Fractional CSO or exit — keeping everything SouthGen built.

The SouthGen Commitment

If your rep hasn't produced at least one closed U.S. deal by the end of Step 6, SouthGen extends management at no additional charge until the first close is achieved. We don't exit until the model has proven itself. We win when you win.

Fractional CSO

Earned, not sold. Available exclusively to clients who complete the 6-step managed retainer. SouthGen graduates from managing your rep to owning your entire U.S. sales strategy.

Base retainer Custom monthly retainer
Performance fee Performance-aligned revenue share
