Our Mission

Helping independents 
grow and thrive

The building materials industry runs on relationships, trust, and decades of expertise. But it's been held back by outdated tools and disconnected systems.We're changing that. SalesJack brings modern sales and marketing capabilities to an industry that deserves better, without losing what makes local retailers special.

From the yard 
to the platform

SalesJack was founded by Ryan Dempsey and Jeff Ryan after six years of working in the building industry, and honestly, we couldn't imagine doing anything else.

2016 - On the yard

SalesJack was founded by Ryan Dempsey and Jeff Ryan after six years of working in the building materials industry, and honestly, we couldn't imagine doing anything else.

2018-2022 On the yard

Over the past six years, we've had the privilege of working alongside independent local businesses, many of them family-run operations that have been cornerstones of their communities for 50+ years. We love everything about this industry: the people who genuinely care about their teams and communities, the straightforward way of doing business, and the willingness to roll up your sleeves and try something new.

2021-2022 Searching for software

We spent four years at RenoRun, where we helped grow the US business from $0 to $55M in just 2.5 years. Along the way, we discovered what actually drives growth for building materials suppliers: integrating data from multiple systems, identifying untapped opportunities to grow share of wallet, and understanding the complex web of relationships with large builders who work across multiple locations and projects.

2023 - Present

We started SalesJack in 2023 to give independents the software they needed to compete with the big box retailers.

We've now helped 50+ retail locations grow their sales.
