FMS Business Coaching

As Business Breakthrough Strategists, we specialize in helping businesses overcome obstacles and achieve significant growth. With a keen understanding of market dynamics, consumer behavior, and industry trends, we analyze businesses from every angle to identify areas for improvement and opportunities for expansion.

FMS Business Coaching possesses a deep knowledge of various business functions, including marketing, finance, operations, and management. We work closely with business owners and executives to develop tailored strategies that address specific challenges and capitalize on strengths.

Skilled at crafting innovative solutions to complex problems, whether it's developing a unique selling proposition, optimizing business processes, or launching targeted marketing campaigns. We leverage our expertise to guide businesses through periods of stagnation or uncertainty, steering them toward sustainable growth and profitability.

With our guidance and support, businesses can break through barriers, unlock their full potential, and emerge stronger and more competitive in their respective markets. We are not just consultants; we are a trusted partner on the journey to success, empowering businesses to thrive in an ever-evolving landscape.

CEO & Profit Breakthrough Strategist

I work with business owners who are self-managing sales and shouldn't be. Many SMBs don’t have the budget for a full-time superstar sales manager.  As an experienced sales leader and individual contributor for over 30 years with public and pre-IPO/start-up companies, I bring valuable experience to any business seeking to establish and refine a successful sales process. Specifically, I offer fractional sales management services as a Fractional Sales Director/Manager for SMBs and funded, early-stage start-ups. In this role, I benchmark the best sales practices of SMBs and start-ups, and leverage this knowledge to benefit companies in the San Francisco Metro Bay Area and beyond.

My areas of focus span the entire sales cycle, including lead generation, prospecting, qualification, negotiation, objection handling, deal closure, account management, pipeline funnel management, and more. In addition, I can help companies navigate sales technology, such as sales enablement and sales engagement tools, CRM selection and implementation, contact databases, call recording systems, outreach acceleration tools, and so on.

As we work together to build out your sales process, we'll address all of these key areas and ensure that your team is well-equipped to succeed by utilizing a proven, repeatable sales process.

Fractional Sales Director - Get Your SMBs Revenue Growing Again! Trusted Advisor for Small Business Owners & Sales Teams | Author: The SMB Owners’ Ultimate Guide To Sales Team Management

Hey there! I'm Chris Ferrato, the founder of FMS Business Coaching. Yep, you got it right - I'm all about turbocharging small businesses and solopreneurs with killer strategies that skyrocket leads, conversions, revenue, and, most importantly, profits. And guess what? I've got a bag full of tricks to make it happen.

Now, here's the kicker: I don't just throw advice at you and wish you luck. Nah, I'm all about getting down and dirty with you through my fractional coaching model. Think of it like this - you've got options: Want to DIY it? Cool. Prefer some hand-holding with DWY? No problem. Or heck, want us to just take the wheel with DFY? We've got you covered there too.

Let's talk real talk. Revenue's great, sure. But what really gets me going is what hits your bank account. That's where my secret weapon, the "Profit Acceleration Software™," comes into play. Give me 45 minutes, and I'll identify up to $100,000 in revenue and profit hiding in your business. Yeah, you heard that right.

Now, buckle up for the "Jumpstart 12" program. It's like rocket fuel for your business growth, with 12 proven strategies that'll make your head spin (in a good way). And listen, this ain't some shady get-rich-quick scheme. It's a straight-up, roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-to-work kind of deal. We put in the effort, implement those strategies like a boss, and bam - watch those profits soar. And hey, if you don't see results, you don't pay. Simple as that.

The best to see my content and point-of-view is on my LinkedIn page - www.linkedin.com/in/chrisferrato I am revamping my website for this new focus in 2024 and beyond and it is coming soon.

But enough about me - let's talk about you. Curious about how I can turn your business into a profit-making machine? Shoot me a message, send me a DM, or hit me up at 408.221.8344. I'm here to help you secure that financial future for you and your family.

To your success,
Chris Ferrato

Consultant

Had a dream, found a mission.  Wanted to give my kids more than I had growing up and at the same time to help B2B Businesses to find consistent sustainable growth.  It all began in 2016 

Started out not knowing what the hell I was doing and then after making a lot of mistakes we grew the business and made it into Florida

Over the holidays we decided to break up...

I haven't felt in the right mind space to post about it

And this is taking a lot of effort to write

We sat down and talked about our 2 kids

And the unpredictability of the US immigration system

And how a cross cultural marriage (Colombia / UK)

makes everything difficult

And that's why we decided to break up with the traditional model of aging

We refuse to disappear into retirement after spending 40 years in a cubicle

We refuse to let AI diminish our skills and capabilities and will use it to amplify our impact

and MOST of all we refuse to teach our kids what they SHOULD do in life

While SHOWING them something totally different through our actions

They learn by watching not through what we say

I'm a 1981 baby and i'm seeing a real change in the way people are viewing mid-life

Are you?

p.s. shameless hook, i know

Well my post about getting divorced got 9k views:

And also a few visits from the ‘this platform is for professional content only’ police

Let me say it loud for those who can’t hear me over their blue sirens 

I get to define what ‘professional’ means to me 

And so does everybody else 

It’s not 1860 anymore 

Peace 

P.s I’m not getting divorced - see said post below

P.p.s I was in London last week and it was COLD

No alternative text description for this image

I just passed 30k subscribers on YouTube! I cracked the algorithm - 1.2million+ views and I haven't posted consistent, 'standard' YouTube videos for YEARS. ..

Want the free bundle on how I did it?

Uber charges more if your phone battery is below 25%

Kroger sets grocery prices based on area 

Soon to be based on time of day

This is called ‘survelience pricing’ 

All thanks to Ai 

and the people that gladly share all their data with it

Often say something like this in a righteous tone:

'‘I don’t mind I’ve got nothing to hide’’

Thanks Dave - great job

Your beer is now 300% more expensive

Keep sharing

Do you shut off data sharing?

Here's how to make interesting content and it NEVER fails..

And once you realize it, you'll never be able to look at any 'course' the same way again

are you ready?

it's one line

never ever ever ever goes wrong

here we go

if you want to make interesting content then BECOME an interesting person.

done

saved you 10k

happy friday

Did Tony Robbins teach Alex Hormozi how to 'feel'?

This was a fascinating interview 

This came out of it clearly:

- Alex lives in his head (analytical) rather than his heart

- He's built a "push" motivation system (duty, obligation) rather than a "pull" system (genuine desire)

Tony helped him and at times Alex admitted he didn't get it

Most valuable content i've seen in years and makes you realize why the feed here can be so soulless

Did you see it?  Are you a hustle fan?

Steal my Gemini prompt for thumbnails that generate 1m organic youtube views

Hi gemini, today you you are an expert thumbnail designer

Please make me look super pretentious and serious, think Seth Godin + Blippi having a baby

Don't forget to make me look as punchable as possible, 

Output 16 by 9 please

Don't hold back....bro

there we go

thats what i wrote

This is at 2.1k views in less than 24 hours

The fly, the window and the paragraph that changed my life:

A fly is frantically trying to escape the room by flying into the window

 because it can see the tree's outside but doesn't have the vision to see the window pane

It doesn't know its there

And here's thing

ALL It needs to do is turn around and fly out the open door on the other side of the room

And it's free

That RIGHT there WAS a metaphor for my business and I got it form my fave book (in comments)

And last year and then I received a gift from the universe and only discovered my open door 

It was a 'cease and desist' from one of the big social media platforms

We had gotten so big, we were on the radar

I restructured the business starting last summer 

And the last 6 months have meant less work + way more profits 

Sometimes the open door in your life is staring you right in the face and you just can't see it 

I couldn't see it 

I'll be documenting it on my new substack

We already did 1m views on youtube  and I love it because its 10-15m and i can really teach and build community

and i'm feeling called to write deeper, about what we went through making $4m revenue while bringing up kids

And the truth about hustle and it's limits 

reach out if you want a link 

And what was your open door in life?  We all have them?

p.s and the book is you2

p.s.s the biggest change was moving from platform based positioning to something else that's 'protected from ai'

Dont miss it

A lot of people ask me 'what is the best tool' to use on here to save time:

I very rarely speak about them because they get a bad name

They are associated with spam 

BUT if you use them the right way then they can be a powerful tool for developing relationships on here
