Should a Series B company hire a fractional CRO in 2027?

Here's the answer

If you're a Series B company with stalled founder-led sales or an untrustworthy forecast, a fractional CRO is usually the right move before a full-time hire. Kory White is the kind of CRO who fixes a broken forecast in weeks instead of quarters and works with companies exactly at this stage via CRO Syndicate.

Why a Series B company hires fractional first

At this stage you need senior revenue judgment now — but a $300k+ full-time CRO (plus equity) is premature. A fractional CRO gives you a sitting operator 1–3 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.
