Choosing Fractional over FTE

Unlike traditional full-time sales executives with big base salaries, benefits, bonuses ,commissions and a huge chunk of your cap table, fractional sales leaders provide businesses with a flexible and cost-effective resourcing solution.

Experienced Leadership: Fractional sales leaders typically bring a wealth of experience from diverse industries and organizations. They leverage this experience to provide fresh perspectives and innovative strategies to your executive team.

Part-Time Engagement: We work part-time or on a contractual basis, allowing you to access our expertise without the financial commitment of a full-time hire.

Strategic Vision: Fractional sales leaders excel in strategic planning because our experience spans numerous companies in the same boat as you. You benefit from what worked (or what failed) elsewhere. We help identify target markets, design effective sales processes, and develop actionable sales plans aligned with your organization's goals.

The Value Continues

Scalability: As your business grows, fractional sales leaders can adjust their engagement model to provide you with additional resources when you need them most. Remember, scalability also goes both ways.

Quick Implementation: We are known for our ability to onboard quickly, swiftly implement effective sales strategies and processes, delivering immediate impact and saving significant time compared to traditional full-time hires.

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.

This is one of the reasons I focus primarily the technology sector.
Inflexible Budgets
While Fractional Sales Leaders offer cost-efficient solutions, organizations with extremely limited budgets may still find it challenging to accommodate their fees, especially if alternative options or in-house hires are financially more viable.

We can get creative with the accounting, but you need to be able to shift your budgets.
Unclear Objectives
Without a clear understanding of your organization's sales & revenue goals, challenges, and expectations, engaging a Fractional Sales Leader can be less effective. Success relies on precise alignment between their expertise and your objectives.

Wasting time equals wasting money and my assessment phase should flush this out.
