Roy Hale

Roy is an experienced business owner & problem solver. SalesBoost has one mission - connecting the American economy at scale.

With seven years of coding experience developing trading algorithms for some of the largest commodity traders in the world. He studied economics and finance at the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities and began his career as an analyst at StoneX, working in agricultural commodity markets and commercial hedging.

At nineteen he founded GrainEdge LLC, independently owned and operated — an agricultural consulting firm delivering daily futures and cash-grain forecasts to trading houses, elevators and commodity funds across domestic and international markets, focused on the corn and soybean complex.  Running it taught him the part that is not engineering: how to market a thing, sell it, and keep it operating.

That experience turned outward into delivering data and connecting real businesses with real customers. He built the customer database, email platform and sales tracking behind MotoShot, the family firearms-training-equipment company in Somerset, Wisconsin — then founded Sales Boost LLC to offer that same engine to other product businesses as a done-for-you service.

Today SalesBoost holds 1,735,619 verified contacts at 657,544 companies across twenty industries — every one gathered, gated and verified in-house rather than bought from a broker.
