Fractional CRO

A fractional CRO, without the open-ended seat.

A fractional CRO is a senior revenue operator who works part of the time, not a full-time chief revenue officer on your payroll. I do not sell that seat. You start with the free 20 Minute Teardown, then the 100-Point GTM Autopsy, then RAINCLOUD builds a pipeline system on your CRM and runs it.

What does a fractional CRO actually do?

The title gets used for three different jobs. Only one of them is this.

If you are comparing the title with a full-time VP, read fractional CRO vs VP of sales. If the company is closer to fifty people and one seller, start with a fractional sales leader instead. If the search is a RevOps seat, read RevOps consultant vs a fractional CRO.

What does fractional CRO cost?

I will not invent a market rate for the category. What I charge is published.

The full schedule, the six-month minimum, and who it is for are on the pricing page. A longer note on the same fees is what fractional CRO cost means here.

Who a fractional CRO is for

B2B companies between $50 million and $200 million, with a sales team in a CRM, missing a number they have already committed to. One executive owns the work for six months. Below the range is sometimes a fit. Above it there is usually an internal team.

If outbound is the symptom, start with why outbound stopped landing. If the founder is still the best seller, read the founder-led sales trap.

What does a fractional CRO cost?

I publish my fees and I do not quote a market rate for the category. The 20 Minute Teardown is free. The 100-Point GTM Autopsy is $5,000. The Build is $25,000, then Ongoing operation at $10,000 a month. The schedule is on the pricing page.

When is a fractional CRO the wrong hire?

When you want someone to carry a quota, manage reps day to day, or stay on with no end. Four clients at a time. Below $50 million is sometimes a fit. Above $200 million there is usually an internal team.

What happens after the teardown?

If the motion is a fit, the next step is the 100-Point GTM Autopsy: $5,000, five business days from access, required before the Build and credited in full against it. No cash refund. The paid Autopsy is the trial.
