Frequently Asked Questions

What is a fractional CRO?

A fractional Chief Revenue Officer owns all revenue-generating functions — sales, marketing (in many organizations), and customer success — on a part-time basis. They build the systems, process, and team that create predictable, scalable revenue growth.

When should I hire a fractional CRO instead of a VP of Sales?

A VP of Sales manages a team and quota. A CRO builds the entire revenue architecture — pricing, go-to-market strategy, sales process, expansion playbook, and the organizational design of the revenue team. If you are at $2M–$20M ARR and trying to build a repeatable, scalable revenue motion, you need a CRO.
