The Story of Almond Sales Development

Almond Sales Development was founded on a simple belief: great sales is not about scripts, pressure, or transactions — it is about understanding people, solving business problems, and creating lasting partnerships.

Founded by Jon Almond, Almond Sales Development is built upon more than 26 years of real-world sales experience, leadership, and proven results in the technology industry. Throughout his career, Jon has had the opportunity to learn, develop, and train through some of the most respected technology organizations in the world, gaining exposure to world-class sales methodologies, business strategies, and customer engagement practices that drive measurable results.

As a technology sales professional and founder of Almond Technology Xchange, Jon recognized a common challenge across businesses of every size: many organizations struggle to bridge the gap between having a great product and effectively communicating its value to the marketplace. Companies often have exceptional solutions but lack the sales structure, messaging, process, and development strategy needed to accelerate growth.

That challenge became the foundation for Almond Sales Development.

The company was created to bring enterprise-level sales expertise, proven methodology, and practical experience to organizations looking to grow revenue, strengthen teams, and create repeatable sales success.

What makes Almond Sales Development different is that our experience isn't theoretical — it's built from decades of being in the field. We've sat across the table from customers, led technology conversations, developed go-to-market strategies, built brands from the ground up, and created sales processes that produce results.

Our team consists of professionals with similarly extensive backgrounds and years of hands-on experience across technology sales, business development, customer engagement, and strategic growth initiatives. Together, we bring a depth of knowledge and perspective that allows us to understand both the challenges businesses face and the pathways to overcoming them.

Today, Almond Sales Development exists to help businesses transform how they sell, connect more effectively with customers, and build sustainable growth for the future.

Because great companies deserve great sales strategies.
