Fractional Chief Sales Officer

A fractional Chief Sales Officer owns the sales organization end to end, strategy, structure, team and number, for the part of the week you need, without a full-time executive hire.

What a fractional CSO owns

  • Sales strategy, structure and segment or territory design
  • The leadership layer and the sales team beneath it
  • Comp plans, quotas, the playbook and the process
  • The pipeline, the forecast and the number
  • Hiring, coaching and the hard personnel calls

CSO, CRO or VP of Sales

A Chief Sales Officer owns the sales organization. A CRO owns all of revenue including marketing and go-to-market. A VP of Sales runs the team day to day. The labels matter less than the work; tell me where revenue is stuck and I will own the right scope.

Senior, hands-on, proven

I have led as VP of Global and International Sales and stepped in as a fractional revenue leader for 30-plus B2B companies. I do not advise from the side; I own the strategy and then run it, hands-on.
