The most common question I get from marketers who want to become a Fractional CMO isn't about positioning, or pricing, or how to run a discovery call.
It's simpler than that: "Where do I actually find my first (or next) client?"
And the answer is almost always the same: you already know them.
Your first Fractional CMO engagement isn't going to come from LinkedIn ads or a cold email campaign. It's going to come from a former colleague, a current contact, or someone a trusted friend introduces you to. It happens through conversation — if you know what to say and when to say it.
That's what this WORKSHOP is about. I'm not going to bore you with theory and homework. Instead, I'll work alongside you as you do the work required to tee up your first (or next) Fractional CMO client.
"Spend 2 hours with me on this workshop and you will do the outreach with me. I'll 'body double' you, giving you the exact things to do to put you in position to win your first (or next) Fractional CMO client. This isn't a bunch of homework... you'll do it WITH ME on the Workshop"
This client is already in your network. You just haven't given them a reason to hire you yet.
Most marketers trying to break into fractional work make the same mistake: they spend weeks perfecting their website, their LinkedIn headline, their niche — and never actually have the conversation that leads to a client.
Meanwhile, someone in their network is sitting on a marketing problem they haven't solved. They need someone at the CMO level, but can't justify a full-time hire. They'd say yes immediately if the right person put the right offer in front of them.
At this workshop, I'm going to walk you through exactly how to identify those people, reach out without it being awkward, and convert that conversation into your first retainer — in a way that feels natural and gets a real result.

This isn't a lecture, it's a WORKSHOP. You show up and work with me to get you to the next level. We're going to work through each step together so you leave with a concrete action plan, and many of the steps completed — not just ideas.
How to quickly pull together a shortlist of people already in your network who are most likely to need a fractional CMO right now — and how to prioritize who to contact first.
The exact language to use when you message someone to start the conversation. Low pressure, genuinely helpful, and easy for them to say yes to a call. We'll write your first outreach together.
How to run a relaxed, consultative conversation that uncovers whether this person has a real marketing problem — and positions you naturally as the solution, without ever doing a hard sell.
The magical phrase to ask someone in your network to introduce you to someone who should know you — so your pipeline grows without you doing all the heavy lifting yourself.
How to move the right conversations to a structured strategy session — and use that session to demonstrate your CMO-level thinking so compellingly that they ask how to work with you.
The moment in the conversation where you make the offer — and exactly how to frame it so it feels like the natural next step, not a sales pitch.
What you actually do in the first month to deliver immediate value, establish trust, and make the client feel like hiring you was the best decision they've made all year.
