GetFresh Ventures, Growth by Design

    For growth-stage operators

    What is fractional GTM? When it works, what it costs and when it doesn't.

    Fractional Go-To-Market leadership: when it works, what it costs, how it compares, and where it fails. Built from operator experience.

    TL;DR

    Fractional GTM is hiring a senior revenue leader, a CMO or CRO, part-time or in sprints. Growing companies use it when they need that experience and can't yet afford it full-time. It costs a fraction of a permanent hire.

    Why this hire is so hard to get right.

    You need senior leadership to get past where you're stuck, and you can't yet afford or keep a top full-time CRO or CMO.

    Up-and-comers without pattern recognition

    You can afford someone coming up, but they haven't scaled a $50M business. The first time something breaks, they learn on your dime.

    Enterprise execs without operator instincts

    You can stretch for an enterprise exec, but they ran a 200-person team with a budget, and working hands-on with 8 people is a different job.

    Revolving door at the VP level

    VP Sales and VP Marketing turnover runs high. By the time they've learned the business they're gone, and the playbook leaves with them.

    What you get with fractional.

    Fractional operators bring what they've seen work and AI systems built into your business, at a fraction of the cost of full-time leadership.

    Useful from the start

    A fractional operator brings playbooks and judgment from other companies, so there's little ramp.

    Cost efficiency

    Senior talent for a fraction of the full-time cost, with no benefits and no severance.

    Objective perspective

    An outside operator isn't caught up in your internal politics, so you get an honest read and a fix chosen on its merits.

    Flexible scope

    Do more when there's more to do, and less once the systems are steady.

    Common questions.

    What is fractional GTM?

    Fractional GTM (Go-To-Market) is when a company brings in an experienced senior revenue leader, usually a CRO or CMO, part-time, to design and run its growth strategy.

    How much does fractional GTM cost compared to a full-time hire?

    Fractional GTM typically costs a fraction of a full-time hire, with no benefits or severance. It's scoped to the work.

    When is the right time to hire fractional GTM?

    The right time for fractional GTM is when founder-led sales has flattened, you're not yet ready to take on a full-time executive, and the next stage of revenue needs someone senior.

    How is fractional GTM different from consulting?

    A fractional GTM operator works inside your company with the team, helps make decisions and looks at the revenue number every week. Consulting usually stops at recommendations.

    Does fractional GTM work for non-SaaS businesses?

    Yes. Fractional GTM works wherever revenue depends on how you sell, market and look after customers. We work with B2B software and tech-enabled services most often, and it applies to other businesses too.

    How do I know if fractional is right for my company?

    Three signals: (1) you have validated product-market fit, (2) revenue has plateaued at the current motion, and (3) you cannot yet justify a full-time executive hire. If all three are true, fractional is usually the right next step.

    Think fractional might fit?
