FAQ

Need clarification?

What exactly does a Fractional CRO do?

A Fractional Chief Revenue Officer provides executive-level revenue leadership  without the full-time cost. Sky Lantern partners with your team to align sales, marketing, and operations under one growth strategy. We build the systems, processes, and accountability needed to drive predictable revenue and sustainable growth.

How is this different from a consultant or sales coach?

Unlike traditional consultants, we don’t just advise from the sidelines. We lead execution. Sky Lantern functions as part of your leadership team, translating strategy into measurable action across CRM, pipeline management, sales enablement, and team development. Our role bridges vision and performance.

What types of companies benefit most from Sky Lantern’s model?

We work best with small to mid-sized businesses that are ready to scale but not yet ready for a full-time CRO. Whether you’re building your first formal sales process, preparing for expansion, or struggling to unify marketing and sales efforts, we help you reach the next stage with clarity and control.

How do engagements typically work?

Most Sky Lantern partnerships start with a 90-Day Growth Audit and Revenue Plan, which is a structured process that assesses your sales performance, CRM utilization, and market strategy. From there, we offer flexible monthly retainers that include leadership, accountability, and hands-on execution to keep momentum strong.
