Fractional Executive Search

When the address book is all the pipeline you have.

Many Miami firms grew on personal relationships. The next stage needs a commercial engine, and nobody has built one yet.

The situation

What is holding revenue back

The symptom is flat revenue. The cause is normally one of these:

01

The accounts trust the owner

The relationship cannot be handed to a hire, so the owner stays the sales team.

02

Pricing set deal by deal

Quoted by feel, in one currency, discounted when the buyer leans.

03

Latin America as a list of countries

A plan with no distributors, no payment terms and no view of who buys.

04

Marketing with no line to revenue

Events and sponsorships paid for out of habit, never traced to a deal.

A fractional CRO or CMO redoes the engine: positioning, pricing, a pipeline that works as a system and a way of selling that does not depend on the owner. They are accountable for the revenue figure as well as the plan.

Is it the right fit?

Who this is for, and who it is not

Best for

  • Revenue that has plateaued after the early channels ran their course
  • Marketing spend going out with little pipeline you can trust coming back
  • Sales and marketing pulling apart, with no one owning the number
  • A founder still carrying the commercial engine personally
  • A new segment or market that needs a proper go-to-market motion

Not for

  • A single campaign or asset an agency could deliver and hand back
  • A business with no product-market fit or revenue to build on yet
  • A tactical execution gap a specialist hire would fill
  • Teams unwilling to give one operator ownership of the number

Why relationship sellers come to us

A commercial engine with structure around it

Moving from personal relationships to a pipeline takes a leader and a plan. We find the first and stay around the engagement while the second takes hold.

1 monthNotice, either way
800+Curated and vetted executives
2–3 weeksBrief to deployment
30–60%Less than a full-time hire, on our engagements

Reviews against the target

We meet you and the executive on agreed dates and say early if the target and the brief start to part.

Help on pricing and markets

Behind your sales leader stands a collective of 800+. A pricing question that turns out to be about a distributor finds someone who has negotiated one.

Accounts stay covered

If the sales leader changes, we restart the search from the brief on file and make sure each account is handed over properly.

Right for your buyers

A seller who suits buyers in Bogota and Brickell alike is worth more than a better title. We match for that range.

How it works

From diagnosis to revenue momentum

A structured engagement that moves from diagnosis to a working pipeline within months.

Execution begins (month 2–3)

04

Ongoing commercial review

Monthly pipeline tracking. Continuous optimisation. Your commercial leader stays accountable for revenue outcomes.

Our fractional services

The right commercial leader leads revenue growth: CMO, CRO, or both.

Revenue growth usually starts as a commercial leadership problem, but delivery and unit economics often decide the outcome.

Common questions

The questions buyers ask first

Not enough buyers know you: begin with a CMO. Opportunities that do not close: begin with a CRO. We settle it when we talk through the brief.

Better pricing and a tidier pipeline usually show within a quarter. New positioning and a new sales process need longer and are worth more.

Yes, when the brief calls for it. We match operators who have opened markets there and know which parts of the home model to keep.
