Who you sell to, what you say, and why they should pay a premium. We define the ICP from your actual best customers - not a persona workshop - and build messaging your sales conversations can repeat.
Which channels deserve budget, in what order, with what expectation. Eight years allocating enterprise media budgets means we've seen what every channel actually returns - before you spend a dollar finding out.
The handoff between marketing and sales is where most go-to-market motions leak revenue. We instrument the funnel end-to-end - CRM, lead routing, follow-up, reporting - so one number tells you if it's working.
Then we stay to run it. Most clients keep us on as fractional marketing leadership after the go-to-market is designed.
The common thread: the product works and customers are happy - the machine that finds the next hundred customers is what's missing. Big strategy firms won't take that engagement under $250k. Startup GTM boutiques don't understand a business that already has revenue. That gap is exactly where we work.
Thirty to forty-five days from kickoff to a complete go-to-market plan: positioning, ICP, channel sequence, budget, and the funnel instrumentation to measure it. One quarter to get the motion live. After that, most clients retain us to lead it - on the same retainer structure as a fractional CMO, starting at $5,000/month.
Designs and operates the system that connects your offer to paying customers: positioning, ICP, pricing, channel selection and sequencing, sales‑marketing alignment, and the metrics that prove it works. The output is a functioning revenue motion, not a slide deck.
Fractional GTM consultants run $5,000–$15,000/month on retainer. Boutique project engagements run $25,000–$75,000 over three to four months. Enterprise firms start around $250,000. Under $50M in revenue, the fractional model usually wins - senior judgment without the firm overhead.
A fractional CMO owns the marketing function ongoing. A GTM consultant works across marketing, sales, and product to design the whole revenue motion. For established businesses the two overlap heavily - which is why we offer them as one engagement: design the go-to-market, then lead it. More in our fractional CMO vs. agency comparison.
An agency executes channels you've already chosen. A GTM consultant decides which channels deserve budget - and what the message should be when you get there. No documented positioning, ICP, and channel plan? Hiring an agency first means paying execution rates to rediscover strategy problems. See consultant vs. agency, compared honestly.
Diagnostic and GTM plan: 30–45 days. Motion live - messaging shipped, channels sequenced, pipeline reporting in place: one quarter. The plan is yours whether or not you keep us on to run it.
