What IS Fractional Growth? (The Gap Between Marketing and Revenue)

The Growth Problem Nobody Talks About

You’re investing in marketing.
The campaigns are running, leads are coming in… yet the sales numbers don’t move.

Sound familiar?

Most businesses don’t have a marketing problem — they have a conversion and readiness problem.
They spend to drive attention, but haven’t built the systems, structure, and strategy to turn that attention into actual growth.

That’s where Fractional Growth and Sales Advisory comes in.

So, What Exactly Is Fractional Growth Advisory?

Fractional Growth Advisory is a hands-on, part-time leadership model for businesses that need experienced guidance to align their marketing, sales, and delivery — without the cost or commitment of another full-time hire.

It’s not another agency or consultant.
It’s embedded strategy and leadership, focused on what happens after you generate leads — the crucial zone between marketing and money.

A Fractional Growth Advisor helps you:

• Build a conversion system that turns leads into revenue.
  
  
• Align marketing and sales so they work toward the same metrics.
  
  
• Create sales enablement frameworks — scripts, processes, accountability, and reporting.
  
  
• Identify gaps in your product delivery and customer experience that affect repeat and referral business.
  
  
• Develop a growth strategy that’s scalable and ready for your next phase.
  
  

Why It Matters Now More Than Ever

In Australia’s current market, many founders are being told to “spend more on marketing” to grow.
But if your conversion system leaks, every extra dollar you spend just accelerates inefficiency.

Marketing builds momentum.
Growth advisory makes sure that momentum actually moves the business forward.

When marketing and sales don’t align, you see:

• Leads stalling at the quote or proposal stage.
  
  
• Inconsistent follow-up and low accountability.
  
  
• Poor communication between marketing and sales teams.
  
  
• Missed opportunities because delivery can’t keep up.
  
  

Fractional Growth Advisory closes those gaps — helping you convert, deliver, and retain before you scale.

How It Fits Between Marketing and Sales

Think of your growth ecosystem as three connected layers:

1. Marketing: Builds awareness and generates leads.
   
   
2. Sales: Converts those leads into customers.
   
   
3. Delivery & Retention: Keeps them happy and loyal.
   
   

Fractional Growth Advisory sits in the middle, creating the bridge that ensures all three layers work together.

It’s where strategy meets structure — bringing clarity, accountability, and measurable progress.

Who It’s For

You’ll benefit from this model if:

• You’re generating leads but not converting enough of them.
  
  
• You’re about to increase marketing spend but want to ensure ROI.
  
  
• You have salespeople but no clear system for follow-up, measurement, or improvement.
  
  
• You’ve outgrown the “hustle and hope” phase, and need structure to scale.
  
  
• You’re a founder, CEO, or GM who wants clarity, not complexity.
  
  

Why It Works

Fractional advisory works because it brings senior-level thinking into your business only when you need it.
It gives you:

• Experience without overheads.
  
  
• Clarity without corporate clutter.
  
  
• Accountability without the politics.
  
  

It’s growth leadership that flexes as your business evolves.
