Until we have enough rates to tell those two cases apart, a single average would describe neither of them accurately.

Insights on this role
Questions about this role
How many days a month does a fractional CRO work?
Most fractional CRO engagements run between one and three days per week, which works out at roughly four to twelve days a month. Companies often start heavier while a sales motion is being built and taper once the team can run it. The commitment is usually agreed in advance rather than billed ad hoc, so both sides can plan around it.
How do fractional CROs charge?
Day rates and monthly retainers are the two common structures. A day rate suits defined sales projects with a clear end. A retainer suits ongoing ownership of revenue where the company wants guaranteed availability. Commission or performance-linked components appear more often in this role than in most, usually alongside a reduced cash rate.
Where do these rate benchmarks come from?
Rates come from verified fractional operators who submit their own current day rate to Fractionus. Figures are refreshed weekly and reported separately for the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom. Benchmarks are stored in US dollars and converted for display, so a rate shown in another currency moves with the exchange rate.
