Jason Jantz is the CEO and founder of Readymode. With an extensive 25-year career exclusively focused on call centers and inside sales, Jason has developed a profound understanding of Readymode’s customers, their challenges, and the solutions they need.
Originally launched in 2014 under the name Xencall, the business has grown significantly under his leadership over the last decade, and the product has matured into a comprehensive call center solution.
His mastery as a leader lies in his perceptivity – he’s an excellent judge of character, and knows how to build strategic, collaborative, high performing teams. He’s equal parts an effective delegator and hands-on problem solver.
Currently, he’s an active member of the BC Tech Association and R.E.A.C.H. (Responsible Enterprises Against Consumer Harassment).
In an intriguing twist, he was once Ryan Gosling’s lifeguard on the iconic TV series, Breaker High.
Helping businesses connect faster, talk longer, and sell more since 2014.
Going beyond making a call—creating a platform for real engagement.
With firsthand experience navigating the call center industry’s challenges, our founder, Jason Jantz, transitioned from a call center manager to an owner. He encountered the industry’s pain points daily: capped dialing speeds, costly usage rates, unreliable lead lists, compliance hurdles, and the struggle to get the right people, the right technology and the right amount of leads—all at the right time. Inspired to provide genuine solutions, Readymode (formerly Xencall) was born.
There was no solution available that combined an efficient dialer with a CRM that actually worked. That’s when he set out to build what the industry needed: a piece of predictive dialing software unlike any other. He made sure to combine all the features he needed—speed, agile reporting, a customizable CRM—and added a few quality-of-life improvements, like same-day dialing set up, excellent support, reliable uptime, and a fully digital dialer.Now, our customers love us for the lightning-fast dialing capabilities we provide. But speed is just the beginning.
With us, every time you dial out, the call is timely, targeted and intentional, and you’re able to connect with way more leads without unnecessarily burning through your lead lists. Since 2014, we’ve achieved remarkable success and grown significantly as a company and as a team. In 2023 we were recognized by the Globe and Mail as one of Canada’s Top Growing Companies, so not only are we proud of our progress—we’re thrilled about the future. At Readymode, we’re more than software; we’re your partner in success.

CRO
Rob Auld
Rob Auld is Readymode’s fearless CRO. With a strong emphasis on rational leadership and radical transparency, his unique formula has been the catalyst for both the success of the businesses he’s involved with and the teams he supports.
With an extensive career as a sales leader at Telus, Salesforce and Avaya, Rob’s expertise and proven success has been demonstrated time and time again. Most notably, as the Global VP of Sales for SOTI, his lazer focus on entering new markets grew the company’s revenue to $100M in a whirlwind 3 years. Similarly, with sales under Rob’s leadership from 2019-2022, he helped Auvik double their revenue and secure $325M in funding from Great Hills Partners.
Rob is a friend of failure, and believes that “if you’re not failing, you’re not trying hard enough”. This radical attitude has been a key driver in his initiation of projects big and small – from complete business transformation at Telus, to the constant iteration of Readymode’s solutions.
Looking forward, he’s eager to help Readymode achieve its next step through a combination of product growth, scaling the company’s operations and of course, entering new markets.
Outside of work, Rob is a committed (totally obsessed) golfer, who spends as many days on the course as he can.

While his boys’ coaching days may be winding down, he’s just getting started on Readymode.
