All In on AI
In today's fast-paced digital age, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept reserved for tech giants—it's a present-day game-changer for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
We've recently launched the AI Maturity Assessment to help you identify and unlock the hidden potential of AI in your organization.
Discover this along with the latest thought leadership and resources from Chief Outsiders:
The Growth Gears™
Chief Outsiders uses The Growth Gears™ framework. The three gears driving growth for marketing and sales are Insight, Strategy, and Execution.

Insight
It’s important to continually seek out and make use of insights about your company, your customers, the marketplace, and your competition. These insights add up to a knowledge base from which you can make the right decisions to drive growth.
Strategy
Strategy is the second gear in the Growth Gears framework, and you create and maintain it using the knowledge gained from the first gear – Insight. Think of this not only as your marketing strategy but an overall business strategy – around your market, offerings, and positioning.
Execution
Once you have the right strategy, the third gear in the Growth Gears framework - Execution, is about implementing that strategy with the greatest level of efficiency. This involves efficient resource allocation, goal alignment, proactive decision-making, and operational excellence, driving measurable results and sustainable business growth.
A.J. Smith, Trystar, CEO
Partnering with Chief Outsiders was absolutely the right decision for Trystar! We achieved so much more than I expected in a relatively short period of time.
Dominick DeRosa, PELITAS, Chief Client Officer
We just had a board meeting where we reviewed the Chief Outsiders' engagement, and they couldn't have been happier. We achieved everything that we set out to achieve and our PE sponsors were thrilled.
Frank Ewing, AML RightSource, CEO
We've grown this company in the last two years from 450 to 1,000 FTEs. We couldn't have achieved that without the assistance from Chief Outsiders.

How it works
Engaging with Chief Outsiders involves four steps, and each provides value.
Initial Consult
One of our Managing Partners will review and quickly assess your challenges and opportunities for growth.
Fractional Match
Then, we match your needs to relevant fractional CMOs or CSOs, and you select one or two for a deep dive session, where they ask additional questions and provide recommendations.
Growth Plan
Based on approach and cultural fit, you make your final CMO or CSO selection, and they create a customized statement of work for review and discussion.
Quick Start
At this step, you sign, and your CMO or CSO gets started in days. All Chief Outsiders agreements allow clients to cancel with 30 days' notice.
