Break down barriers stalling your growth

Frame 47246

Struggling to keep up with the markets and competitors.

Current positioning is not helping you win in a competitive or changing market.

Frame 47246 (1)

Sales and Marketing is all over the place.

Go-to-market programs are not focused or aligned, or you don’t know if they’re working.

Slow & steady isn't enough anymore.

With new stakeholders, a looming exit date, or market opportunities, you need to move faster.

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.

With the results I've seen in quick fashion and their ability to integrate into our team, I'm a 10 out of 10 for Chief Outsiders. If you're thinking about it, take the leap and go for it!

Cameron Brown, Co-Owner, Einstein Moving Co.

Our CMO was a great resource to scale our department and position us for the next phase. You will not find anyone who worked harder than our team, but we can't manufacture decades of successful marketing leadership experience.

Jessica Johnston, VP of Marketing, Education Advanced

We increased volume with our major customers, nearly doubled our aftermarket business, and created a predictive maintenance offering. Chief Outsiders is a valuable resource and a great company to work with that we highly recommend.

FAQ

How long do engagements last?

It’s based on your needs and goals. We’ve had some clients that work with us for just a workshop, while others keep their team on board for months or years.

Isn’t hiring internally more cost-effective?

Full-time hires come with overhead costs (benefits, severance) and are hired to do one job. We can provide multiple specialists, working only when they’re needed, to cover a wide array of needs. And we can be up and running in days.

What if my needs change?

Our engagements are flexible and can be scaled up or down with 30 days notice.

Can you handle my unique business challenges?

Our 120+ fractional and interim CXOs come from the most highly regarded companies in over 70 industries – and with 16 years under our belt, we’ve learned to adapt that expertise to fit the unique needs of small to mid-sized businesses and private equity. So, we should have experience with businesses and challenges like yours.

What if my workload doesn’t justify a full executive?

That’s the benefit of working with fractional executives. You get just the expertise you need, without committing to a full-time, long-term hire.

How quickly can we start?

Unlike a full-time hire or even a traditional agency, our team can be up and running in days or weeks.

What if it’s not a good fit?

Our process is designed to find the right match for your business, challenge, and working style. But if it’s not working out, we’ll work with you to find you the right team.

How do I know if I need to work on sales or marketing?

Actually, you don’t need to decide that. The first step of our process – before we ever start an engagement – is to learn about your business challenges. From there, we can work with you to determine whether your challenges are related to sales, marketing, or both.

What if I need both strategic and implementation services?

That’s exactly why we offer both Fractional Executives and Team Outsiders execution resources, giving you the strategic leadership and on-demand execution resources to get in market fast.

Are fractional CXOs here to stay?

Fractional CXOs have grown tremendously over the past decade. And our team of CXOs is dedicated to being CXOs. In fact, in 2024, our average tenure for CXOs was 3.5 years – a full year longer than the 2.4 years tenure for most professional consultants.

Leadership. Execution. Acceleration.
