Fractional CRO

    A fractional CRO who brings the team that builds the system

    Senior commercial ownership without a full-time hire, plus the people who execute it. Positioning, buyer mapping, context-based outreach, executive communication and reporting run as one connected program.

    Start with the diagnostic

    Advice is not the bottleneck

    Most companies that hire a fractional CRO already know roughly what to do. What they lack is anyone to do it. The plan lands, the founder is still the only person selling, and three months later the deck is out of date.

    We work as the commercial leadership and the delivery team. One party decides the strategy, builds the motion, runs it weekly, and reports on what it produced. We tested this model in our own manufacturing company before selling it to anyone else.

    What the fractional CRO owns

    01

    Positioning and offer

    Who you sell to, what you claim, and why that claim beats the alternative. Most revenue problems are positioning problems wearing a sales costume.

    02

    Buyer map and market priority

    Named companies, named roles, ranked by how winnable they are. Which market to enter next, and which to leave alone this year.

    03

    Outbound motion

    The full pipeline motion: selective outreach, executive presence, reply handling, and qualification. Built, run, and documented rather than advised on.

    04

    Executive recognition

    Executive content and daily engagement make the sender credible before the first direct conversation.

    05

    Reporting and forecasting

    One view from first touch to qualified meeting, split by source, so you can tell what to spend more on next quarter.

    06

    Team and handover

    When it is time to hire, we define the role, the targets, and the playbook the hire inherits. You are not dependent on us to keep it running.

    Fractional CRO, full-time hire, or consultancy

    A traditional fractional CRO

    Two days a month of senior advice. Strategy decks, frameworks, and a plan your team has no capacity to execute.

    The same senior ownership plus the team that executes it. Strategy and delivery from one accountable party.

    A full-time CRO hire

    Six-figure package, three months to find, six to ramp, and a bet made before the motion is proven.

    Senior commercial ownership from month one, with a documented system to hand a permanent hire later.

    A consultancy engagement

    An audit, a roadmap, and an invoice. Implementation is your problem.

    Diagnostic first, then build. The diagnostic exists to decide what we execute, not to fill a binder.

    The engagement, step by step

    1. Step 1

      Research and context mapping. Buyer map, competitive review, positioning review and a prioritised campaign direction.

    2. Step 2

      We agree the first build: usually executive presence and outbound, because that is what starts conversations fastest.

    3. Step 3

      Execution begins with weekly approval cycles. You see the copy, the lists, and the replies, not just a monthly summary.

    4. Step 4

      Executive communication and event programs layer in when they create stronger context for the market.

    5. Step 5

      Quarterly review at board level: what worked, what to cut, what to hire for, and whether you still need us in the seat.

    Fractional CRO questions

    What is a fractional CRO?

    A fractional CRO is a part-time chief revenue officer who owns commercial strategy and execution without joining as a full-time hire. They set positioning, define the buyer, build the pipeline motion, and report on revenue, usually for companies that need senior commercial leadership before they can justify a permanent CRO salary.

    How is your fractional CRO offer different?

    Most fractional CROs advise. We take the same ownership and bring the team that executes context-based outreach, event programs and executive communication.

    How much does a the fractional CRO comparison?

    Every engagement is scoped individually, based on markets, executive profiles, channels and volume. After a discovery call you get a written scope with a fixed monthly fee. The minimum commitment is 3 months.

    How much of your time do we get?

    Enough to own the outcome. Weekly working sessions and approval cycles, monthly reporting, and a quarterly review at board level, plus the delivery team running the motion between those points.

    When should we hire a full-time CRO instead?

    Once the motion is proven, repeatable, and big enough to need a full-time leader managing a team against it. Part of our job is telling you when that point arrives and handing over a documented system.

    Which markets do you operate in?

    Lithuania, the Baltics, Nordics, UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and the US. We have run commercial programmes across thirteen markets in Europe and North America.
