Choose Smart, or Choose Often
CEOs in B2B Tech must choose the best fractional Chief Marketing Officer option to grow efficiently.
But while the popularity of the fractional CMO and CRO model is increasing, the importance of quality seems to be deprioritized by many companies. It’s unfortunate and is costing CEOs and companies money, time and trust.
Without quality, growth is nothing but a dream.
That’s why a proven process to unlock growth is vital. An assembly of fractional executives is also essential. But, the quality, track record, and proven results must be at the forefront of choosing a Fractional CMO.
The Rise of the Fractional Executive
Thanks to the successes of fractional CFOs and CIOs, the executive industry is welcoming the rise of the fractional Chief Marketing Officer.
But not all of them are created equal.
Anyone who has Googled the movement would have found a cesspool of revelations. You can listen to all about it in the podcast episode Beware of Agencies Advertising Fractional CMO Services.
However, since this episode, the situation has worsened.
Many have been masquerading as process-driven fractional CMOs and CROs. They have been leveraging the moniker as if they were boasting a fake Louis Vuitton handbag. On paper, it looks like it will get the job done. But then you look closer.
The reveal is that there is a “proven process,” or an audit, or analysis that is a fixed fee.
But as you know, that process alone doesn’t solve growing pains. It needs to be leveraged and led by a CMO. A real Chief Marketing Officer.
They must be someone who has been through it. They’ve built it, done it, grown it, and scaled it.
Why First-Hand Experience Matters
You cannot replace first-hand experience. It doesn’t matter how much process there is.
Sure, the process is important. So is knowledge. But the most vital aspect you need is capability, experience, and a proven track record of success as a fractional CMO.
