Totally fair question.

This isn’t a “run some ads” retainer. This is a fractional CMO engagement where I build and manage the full acquisition + follow-up system so you get predictable revenue, not random lead spikes.

At $7,500/month, the expectation is simple:

If you’re a business where one additional project/deal is worth more than this fee, and you have the capacity to fulfill, the math makes sense quickly.

If you’re looking for the lowest-cost marketing provider, you’ll find cheaper options.

If you want a senior operator owning the outcome and tightening the whole marketing ecosystem, this is built for that.

No, because I don’t control your close rate, your sales team, or your fulfillment.

What I do guarantee is:

senior-level execution (not delegation to juniors)

a proven system and clear operating cadence

full transparency in reporting

I’ll tell you quickly if the numbers say we need to adjust strategy, offer, or sales process

Most businesses that are a fit see momentum fast—because the bottleneck usually isn’t “more leads,” it’s the system around converting them.

Most partners see traction in the first 10–15 days once campaigns go live.

Month 1 is about validating the market, offer, and funnel and tightening follow-up.

Months 2–3 is where performance typically stabilizes and improves.

After that, we scale what’s working.

If you want a quick spike with no infrastructure, I’m not the right fit.

If you want predictable growth, this timeline is realistic.

Most partners stay 6–12 months, and many stay longer because results compound over time.

The system gets better each month:

better data → better creative → better targeting → better follow-up → better ROI.

If we’re not a fit, we’ll know early, which is why we start with a 30-day mutual out.

The difference is the operating model.

Most marketing fails because it’s treated like a channel problem.

I treat it like a business system:

clear numbers + reporting

weekly iteration

bottleneck diagnosis (offer, creative, follow-up, sales)

direct accountability to revenue outcomes

You’ll see exactly what’s happening, what we’re testing, and why.

No. Ad spend is separate from our fee.

You control the ad budget.

I’ll recommend a range based on your market, capacity, and goals, and I’ll optimize the spend so it’s deployed efficiently.

it’s less about size and more about fit.

This works best when:

you have the capacity to fulfill more jobs/projects

one additional deal materially moves the needle

you want consistent growth (not a one-time lead burst)

you’re willing to follow a real operating cadence

If you’re very early stage, don’t have fulfillment capacity, or need the cheapest option, we’re not a fit—and I’ll tell you upfront.

At $7,500/month, I’m your fractional CMO and I oversee the full marketing ecosystem:

strategy + priorities

creative direction (what to film, what to say, what to run)

Meta ads management and optimization

Website+Google Optimization (not management)

CRM + automation buildout and follow-up infrastructure (including past client/lead conversion)

reporting + weekly iteration so performance improves, not stalls

If you’re looking for someone to just “run ads,” this is overkill.

If you want an owner-level growth partner, it’s exactly the point.
