Fractional CRO
frak-shuh-nl cheef rev-uh-nyoo of-uh-ser (noun)
A Fractional CRO is a senior revenue executive hired on a part-time or contract basis to own the full revenue function - sales strategy, pipeline management, team performance, and growth targets - without the cost of a full-time appointment.
They're the person who looks at your revenue engine and knows exactly what's broken: whether that's a leaky funnel, an under-coached sales team, a misaligned go-to-market, or all three at once.
For scaling businesses hitting a revenue ceiling, a Fractional CRO brings the pattern recognition and execution capability to break through it - on a timeline and budget that makes sense.
Think: the revenue leader who's seen this problem before and knows exactly how to fix it.
