Fractional Leadership

Strategic leadership without the c-suite price tag.

Difficult decisions

When we talk to organizations about fractional leadership engagements for either a sales or marketing leader, they're often trying to decide between making a full-time hire or bringing on a fractional leader on a contract basis.

Why should I hire a fractional leader?

Many growth stage business would benefit from a fractional go-to-market leader. The right time might be when you're strapped for cash, you're in a period of transition, or you want to avoid the upfront risk of making a costly, bad hire. For example, a $1MM company trying to get to $3MM or $5MM benefits from a cross-capable marketer who's also a true business advisor and thought partner—with the depth and breadth to build strategic goals and processes, make ruthless budget decisions, and build and develop teams, while actually executing marketing or sales themselves. Starting with a fractional relationship helps preserve the budget and lets both parties see if the partnership is solid.

Leading any facet of the go-to-market function of a growth-stage company is a decision you can't get wrong. A fractional leader helps mitigate the costly mistake of making a bad hire and proving that they can get results and drive desired outcomes. It's a like a test-drive but for sales and marketing leaders.
