Why a PE-backed company hires fractional first
At this stage you need senior revenue judgment now β but a $300k+ full-time CRO (plus equity) is premature. A fractional CRO gives you a sitting operator 1β3 days/week, with a clear 30/60/90 and a kill switch.
What to expect
Diagnosis in the first 30 days, a rebuilt forecast and funnel by day 60, and a system your team can run by day 90.
