Growth that does not hang on who the owner knows.
Revenue flattens when your way of selling stops matching the market. More effort is rarely the answer.
Where Johannesburg revenue stalls
The ceilings tend to be the same:
Sales runs on personal relationships
Revenue follows the owner's contacts. Handing it on fails because the process was never written down.
Slow-paying customers set the pace
Large corporates and state buyers dictate terms, and cash flow follows.
No line from marketing to revenue
Spend goes out, leads come in, and nobody can say which turned into revenue.
A price list stuck in the past
Costs have risen with the currency and the cost of doing business, and the price list has not kept up.
A fractional CRO or CMO takes the number on. They reset pricing, build a process the team can run and point sales and marketing at one target. They stay on the hook until it works.
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
What a revenue engagement brings
A fractional CRO or CMO is a well-established step when growth has followed the owner's contacts as far as it can. The leader owns the number; the governance is ours.
Reviews against the number
We meet you and the leader at set points and say plainly when pipeline and plan drift apart.
Commercial depth behind them
Tender pricing, state payment terms or a new market: your leader can test it with commercial operators in the collective.
The context stays with us
Should your revenue leader leave, the pipeline history and the brief remain with us for the next search.
Matched to your buyer
Corporates, the state and consumers buy differently. We match to the buyer you most need.

Do you need a fractional CMO, a CRO, or something else?
Revenue plateaus for different reasons. The right operator depends on where the commercial system is breaking.
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.
