In the room, on the calls. Not just the slide deck.

What we do

Revenue leadership, embedded.

We don't advise from the sidelines. We operate as an extension of your executive team, with accountability for results.

01

Fractional CRO Leadership

Embedded executive ownership of revenue strategy, process, and performance. Your CRO without the full-time cost or commitment.

Who this is for

Companies where the owner is still the primary revenue driver and growth has become limited by one person's time and relationships.

02

Revenue Reset

A focused diagnostic engagement to identify what's broken in your revenue process and establish a clear execution roadmap. Know the constraint. Know the fix.

Who this is for

Companies where growth has stalled and leadership knows something is wrong in the revenue process, but can't clearly see where.

03

Sales Leadership Install

The systems, accountability structures, and operating cadence required to scale a revenue team. Build the foundation for repeatable, owner-independent growth.

Who this is for

Companies ready to scale the sales team but lacking the process, structure, and operating rhythm to support consistent performance.

Not sure which engagement fits? A Revenue Diagnostic will tell you exactly where to start.

What we help you build

Accountability. Consistency. Confidence.

Most growth-stage companies know something is off in their revenue motion. Deals are inconsistent. Forecasts can't be trusted. The sales team isn't performing. Our diagnostic process identifies exactly what is creating the gap, and our methodology closes it.

What companies tell us before we start

Every significant deal requires the owner's personal involvement to close

The sales team underperforms because the process lives in the owner's head

Revenue is unpredictable because it depends on one person's bandwidth

Strategic decisions get deferred because the owner is stuck closing deals

The company can't scale because there's no repeatable revenue methodology

What our methodology delivers

A revenue process that works without the owner in every conversation

Sales systems and accountability structures the team can run independently

Pipeline and forecast discipline so revenue is predictable, not personal

A documented revenue methodology the owner can hand to a sales leader

Leadership freed to focus on strategy and vision, not closing deals

Sound familiar? These are solvable problems.

A 30-minute Revenue Diagnostic identifies the exact constraint in your revenue process and gives you a clear path forward.

Who we partner with

Built for growth-stage leadership.

We work with founders, CEOs, and PE-backed teams navigating critical revenue moments.

01

SaaS companies at $2M to $12M ARR

Where the owner is still the primary revenue driver and growth is becoming limited by one person's time and relationships.

02

Services firms professionalizing sales

Great delivery, no repeatable sales process. Growth depends on relationships and referrals, not a methodology that scales.

03

PE portfolio companies

PE-backed businesses needing revenue process clarity, accountability structures, and investor-ready performance metrics.

04

Owner-led companies at inflection

The owner has become the bottleneck. The business needs a repeatable revenue process it can run without the owner in every deal.

"

The most common revenue problem we see isn't the sales team. It's the absence of a documented, repeatable revenue process that the team can execute without leaning on leadership for every decision, every deal, every forecast.

No documented process is the #1 growth constraint at $2M to $12M ARR

When revenue becomes unclear

These are the signals.

If any of these sound familiar, it's time for a Revenue Diagnostic.

Pipeline visibility is inconsistent

You can't answer the board's pipeline question without digging through CRM data that no one trusts.

Forecasts cannot be trusted

Deals slip, numbers move. Board meetings involve guesswork dressed up as confidence.

The sales team lacks a repeatable process

Reps operate on instinct, not methodology. There's no shared playbook, no qualification standard, no predictable output.

The owner is stuck in day-to-day deal work

The owner is the de-facto closer. Strategic decisions get deferred because deals need personal attention.

Growth has stalled or become unpredictable

You've hit a ceiling. Some months are strong, others collapse. The business can't be planned around a predictable revenue line because there's no underlying process creating it.

Recognize more than two of these?

A 30-minute Revenue Diagnostic will identify the root constraint and what to do about it.

Our methodology

Three phases. One outcome.

We don't advise from the sidelines. We own the execution from diagnosis to durable results.

01

Diagnose

Assess your revenue reality before prescribing anything. We start with the truth of where you actually are.

    Our approach

    Revenue leadership from inside the room.

    Guidepost was built by operators who have sat in the revenue seat, carried quota, managed reps, and owned the forecast.

    We've worked inside revenue organizations at $2M ARR, at $5M, and at $10M. The gaps that hold companies back are almost always the same.

    No documented sales process for the team to execute consistently. A pipeline that can't be trusted. Forecasts that are more optimism than math. A team that performs inconsistently because the methodology isn't written down, isn't reinforced, and isn't measured.

    Most fractional help stops at strategy. We don't stop until the results are durable and the process runs without us, until your business no longer depends on the owner to close every deal.

    We work with founders, CEOs, and PE-backed leadership teams who need experienced revenue leadership without the cost, timeline, or risk of a permanent hire.

    The process always precedes the scale

    You can't hire your way out of an owner bottleneck. Every new sales rep who underperforms is running without a repeatable methodology. We build the process first, then the team can scale it.

    We work the root cause, not the symptom

    Stalled growth at $4M is rarely a pipeline volume problem. It's usually a qualification problem, an owner dependency, or a sales methodology that worked at $1M and stopped scaling.

    We stay until the process is durable

    We don't hand off a roadmap and move on. We execute alongside your team until the revenue process is repeatable, documented, and no longer dependent on our presence or yours.
