Fractional CRO and Operating Partner, Revenue
The market opportunity may be real. The revenue system may not be ready to deliver it.
One mandate, four possible titles
I lead $2M to $100M companies through sales transformation: fixing underperformance, building the revenue system, and preparing the business to scale.
I don’t hand you a playbook and walk away. I step in, build the revenue system, and lead the execution until the business can perform without depending on one person.

What owners and investors say after the engagement
We engaged John Spencer as our Outsourced VP of Sales a month prior to the pandemic. We maintained key accounts, retained our top sellers, and prepared for 2021. By Q1 of 2021 we were recruiting and growing again. The sales infrastructure like the weekly sales meetings, KPIs and CRM kept the Sales team focused and looking forward. John became part of our senior staff and contributed to all elements of the company given his broad experience. I recommend companies consider a Fractional or Outsourced Sales leader as the next logical step to advance the sales vertical, prior to hiring full-time.
John was referred to us as an expert in the channel. We need his sales expertise. The scope immediately broadened to all aspects of our business, from VP of Sales to CXO! We realized margin improvement, revenue improvement and a clearer direction forward, all during a Global Pandemic and supply chain challenge!
For any organization seeking a partner who can deliver real impact across the board, I wholeheartedly recommend John Spencer.
