Frequently Asked Questions

What is fractional CRO?

Fractional CRO means I work with you part-time as your Chief Revenue Officer, providing strategic guidance without the cost of a full-time executive. Perfect for growing companies that need expertise but aren't ready for a full hire.

How long are typical engagements?

Most engagements start with a 3-month commitment, with ongoing monthly retainers. Some projects are shorter (like proposal optimization) while others are longer-term strategic partnerships.

Do you work with solo founders?

Yes. I work with solo founders, self-employed professionals, and small teams. The frameworks scale whether you're closing deals yourself or managing a team.

What industries do you work with?

I work primarily with B2B companies, consultants, agencies, and SaaS businesses. The sales principles apply broadly, but I focus on industries where I have deep experience.

How do you measure success?

We set clear metrics upfront: close rates, average deal size, revenue targets, or sales cycle length. Every engagement includes regular check-ins to track progress against these goals.

What's included in a strategy call?

A 45-minute call where we discuss your current situation, identify key challenges, and I provide initial recommendations. If we're a good fit, we'll discuss next steps for working together.
