How to Sell Advice

194. How to avoid the "employee" trap as a fractional CXO

It's incredibly easy to get sucked into being an employee-like figure when you do fractional leadership work.


When I first got started as a fractional CMO, I basically had two part-time jobs. The money was good but I worked HARD. I knew I needed to create better parameters.


In this episode of Mindshare Radio, I'll break down the five main ways to avoid turning into a set of employee-like hands when you sell fractional CXO services.


We'll talk about things like:

  1. Setting expectations during sales
  2. Defining what you will or won't do
  3. Building your Rolodex
  4. Setting a limit on your time if needed
  5. Down-selling yourself to pure advisory work


And a ton of nuance in between.


Listen in and let me know what you think—did I miss anything important?
