Grow your business with a Scale-up CCO.

Hire a Chief Commercial Officer to successfully move from product-market fit to scaling up.

You aim for the moon, but your business engine is sputtering.

How do you get more customers? What is your business model to scale? What team members do we need? A Scale-up CCO helps you overcome problems to scale successfully.

Lack of Cohesive Leadership Strategy: Without a standardized financial dashboard and regular leadership meetings, your company may struggle with misaligned priorities, inefficient resource allocation and a lack of clear performance metrics, leading to strategic drift.
Inconsistent Sales and Marketing Efforts: Companies often face difficulties in identifying and focusing on the most effective channels for growth. This can result in lucky revenue streams instead of predictable growth.
Undefined Brand and Organizational Culture: A disconnect between a company's internal practices and its external brand promise can erode trust and integrity. Without a strong, unified brand and culture, engaging and retaining customers becomes increasingly difficult.
Inefficient Operations: The absence of a standardized operations playbook can lead to inconsistent service or product quality and a risky dependency on people running operations.
Challenges in Talent Management: Without established HR practices for attracting and retaining talent, companies may face high turnover rates and a talent pool that does not align with the company's growth goals.
Ad-hoc Product Development: A non-standardized approach to product development can result in products that do not fully meet market needs or that cannot be efficiently scaled, hindering the company's ability to innovate and grow.

Freelance vs. Payroll

Choosing a freelance CCO is critical when transitioning from product-market fit to scaling up.

Freelance

Entrepreneurial spirit is embedded.
High speed onboarding and fast productivity
Cost efficient option with all-in price
Loves doing this work so keep your shares
Easy to say goodbye to if it doesn't work

Payroll

Employee spirit is embedded.
Regular onboarding and productivity
Salary, benefits and other employer costs
Give away shares to keep motivation high
Risk of legal trouble when things go wrong

Conclusion: move to payroll after growth path is established

During the high risk transition from product-market fit to scaling up, hiring a freelance Scale-Up CCO is a strategic choice. It offers you the necessary flexibility and skills without the long-term financial commitment of a payroll hire. Transition to payroll employees once a stable growth path is established.

Here is how to start...

1. Plan meeting

Set up an introduction meeting to introduce yourself and share more about your company’s current position and ambitions.

2. Discuss blueprint
