Point Progress

A fractional CMO is someone who acts as the Chief Marketing Officer for your company but is hired as a contractor or consultant. Fractional CMO’s (or CPO’s for that matter) are working with several different companies at one time, much like freelancers or consultants do. They work for you a fraction of their time (hence fractional). 

But don’t let that scare you. 

A good fractional CMO is going to give your business as much attention as it needs.

-	Sunsetting one CRM platform … replacing it with a whole new CRM tool … if needed
-	Sourcing a new Prospecting tool … building outbound templates … if needed
-	Refreshing marketing lists or prospect information … if needed
-	Outsourcing the design of new sales & marketing collateral … if needed
-	Documenting the end-to-end sales process, encompassing all touchpoints … if needed
-	Eradicate ALL technical & content issues with the corporate website using the likes of MOZ … if needed
-	Kickstart your brand or Dynamic Search Ad campaigns say, with Google Ads …if needed
-	Drive double and triple digit growth across the Social Media channels … if needed
-	Shape the content for the restart of customer newsletters … if needed
-	Plug reporting gaps in management team or board level packs … if needed
-	Produce job descriptions for new sales & marketing hires … if needed
-	Chair meetings of the ‘Three Amigos’ when revamping the product development process … if needed
-	Train internal teams on how optimise their own LinkedIn profiles … if needed

Normally, a fractional CMO would not:

-	Write & send emails to customer lists
-	Draft & upload blog posts
-	Craft social media posts
-	Redesign the layouts of landing pages
-	Track detailed metrics across all digital channels

However, I worked differently on this assignment.

As a fractional CMO, I was there to care for the overall health of the business’s marketing.

As a Fractional, you get an executive-level partnership and an experienced leader who knows how to get things done.

Sales Manager

Sales is a ‘dirty’ word isn’t it?

A lot of people think it is, so I’m a man on a mission and my mission is to change that perception.  I love helping businesses move out of their comfort zones to embrace sales, to build a professional sales culture that makes it easy for their customers to buy from them

I want salespeople to stand tall and to shout from the rooftops that they are a salesperson. To become a professional and to be proud of that.

That’s why I’ve set up Sales Made Easy, so that Business Owners and Salespeople can become part of our community and access whatever they need to improve their sales. We’re making it all available, easy to follow and affordable. We’re putting it in a format that people can follow and implement to make a fundamental difference to how they sell.

You can probably tell that I’m a man on a mission, can’t you?

I've built and managed sales teams that have sold to over 35,000 business clients so I get it.

I understand the ups and downs of running a business, the challenges, the successes and the loneliness. I’ve made the mistakes; I’ve been there seen it and done it! 

I’ve also learned a few things about sales and sales leadership over the last 20 years so, let me ask you, do any of these situations sound familiar?

•	You keep employing salespeople who promise me great things but they rarely live up to their hype.
•	Why do your salespeople appear busy, promise you sales, then have a good excuse why the customer didn’t sign up?
•	You want to sell to your customers but you don’t want to come across as a salesperson!

They resonated with me and if they resonate with you then something needs to change.

There is good news though, together, we can change your approach to sales that will help you sell more things to more people.

Personally, I moved to South West France (with Sandra) in 2020 to enjoy the culture, wine and cheese....and I love it. The pace of life is slower and I’ve relaxed a lot giving me more time to think, learn and grow. I’m slowly learning the language but I still sound like the policeman from “Allo Allo” for those of you who can remember that TV programme from the 1980’s!
