A fractional COO for your small business. Greg, in your corner.
You need an operator. You can't justify a full-time one. Greg has been the COO, and now he does it part time for owners tired of making every call alone.
Next open: Mon, Oct 12 at 10:00 AM
The operator you need. Without the full-time hire.
How a fractional COO compares to the other ways owners try to fix this.
| Fractional COO (Greg) | Full-time COO | Business coach | Doing it yourself | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Scoped to what you need | A full executive salary | A monthly program fee | Your nights and weekends |
| Does the work | Works in the business with your team | Yes | Advises. You do the work. | Yes, all of it |
| Operating experience | Has owned and run businesses | Depends on the hire | Varies | Whatever you've learned |
| Commitment | Flexible, scoped to you | Long-term hire | Program length | Forever |
| Team accountability | Built in | Built in | Not usually | On you |
What a fractional COO actually does.
Every engagement is different. These are the areas we usually take on.
Rhythm
- Weekly priorities
- Meetings that end in decisions
- A short list of numbers you watch
People
- Clear roles and owners
- Hiring and structure decisions
- Holding the team accountable
Process
- Written SOPs your team uses
- A tool stack that talks
- Clean handoffs between people
Decisions
- Pricing and margins
- When to hire, expand, or cut
- The calls you shouldn't make alone
No packages, no feature lists. We scope it on a call, and you know the price before anything starts.

Is this right for you?
A great fit
- You're the bottleneck on every decision
- You've hired people and still do their jobs
- Growth is making things messier, not easier
- You have no one to think through big calls with
Not the right fit
- Nobody is calling yet
- You want advice, not someone who follows through
- You need a full-time executive in the building every day

Questions, answered.
- How is this different from a consultant?
- A consultant hands you recommendations. A fractional COO stays and makes sure they happen.
- What does it cost?
- It's scoped to your business: how much time, what we own, and for how long. You'll know the price before anything starts.
- How much time do I get?
- [Confirm how time is typically structured.]
- Is there a minimum commitment?
- [Confirm.]
- Do you work with my team directly?
- [Confirm how you work with staff.]
- Is it remote?
- Yes. We work with small businesses anywhere in the US.
- Do I need to fix my marketing first?
- If nobody's calling, probably. You'll know on the first call.
One conversation. You’ll know if you need him.
If a fractional COO isn't what you need, we'll say so, and tell you what is.
