When Fractional Sales Leadership DOESN'T make sense
There are some times when it doesn't make sense to hire Matthew as your fractional sales leader.
Niche Industry Expertise
In industries with highly specialized or intricate products or services, a Fractional Sales Leader might lack the specific expertise needed to understand and effectively sell your offerings. In such cases, industry-specific certifications & knowledge could be crucial.
