The standard advice for a growing professional services firm is to hire a chief revenue officer (CRO).

Hiring a CRO consultant means one of two jobs, chief revenue officer or conversion rate optimization, and PE operators pay for the confusion.

Knowing when to hire a fractional CRO matters more than knowing why, and most SaaS founders get the timing wrong in both directions.

The CRO position fails in mid-market industrial companies more often than it succeeds, and the failure is usually designed in before anyone is hired.

Most companies buy training and leadership consulting backwards: they pick a curriculum first and diagnose the problem never.

The best sales training companies change rep behavior on the next deal; sales negotiation training that stays in the workbook is expensive theater.

B2B sales development is a portfolio of specific skills, not a single trait; CROs who map the B2B selling skills that produce top performers win the ramp.
