Fractional VP of Sales & Marketing for B2B SaaS

Building was the easy part.
Selling is the hard part.

You're a technical B2B SaaS founder who can ship anything with AI, but landing customers takes time and a sales muscle you don't have. We run the whole motion for you. No full-time hire, no equity.

US-based team Experience at startups and public SaaS, SDR to CRO No equity required
The technical founder's trap

Great product. Silent pipeline.

AI made building easy, which is exactly why distribution is now the only edge. It's the wall most technical founders hit.

01

No ICP, no list

You have users but no defined buyer. Every deal is bespoke, nothing repeats, and you can't tell a good-fit lead from a time sink.

02

No time to prospect

Sales Navigator, list-building, outreach, follow-up, scheduling: a second full-time job you don't have while building the product.

03

Hiring is a $350k bet

A full-time VP of Sales & Marketing means big comp, equity, and a six-month gamble before you even know your motion works.

What you get

Your fractional VP of Sales & Marketing, on tap.

You work directly with me, backed by a network of experienced US-based B2B SaaS sales professionals. We dial in your ICP, messaging and pricing, then run the full funnel.

Outbound, in your voice

Target lists built, LinkedIn ghostwritten, email and calls run from your accounts, meetings booked. You never touch Sales Navigator. And it compounds: every post and message builds your audience while we build your pipeline.

Inbound engine

Website and landing pages, SEO and AEO/GEO for AI search, content and newsletter. A system that makes buyers come to you.

AI for sales & marketing

We run the modern GTM stack so the work gets done faster: Sales Navigator, Apollo, Clay, Instantly, your CRM, and AI agents for outreach, content, and personalization at scale.

Full sales cycle

Discovery, qualification, demos, and closing, with you or on your behalf. Plus the roadmap feedback that gets you to product-market fit.

Talk

A straight conversation about your business and where growth is stuck. No pitch, no obligation.

STEP 02

Foundation

We lock ICP, messaging, positioning and pricing, then stand up the outbound and inbound machinery.

STEP 03

Run it

We run the motion and bring you in when it counts. No vanity promises of X meetings a month. You're early, and that's not how it works.

FAQ

Fractional sales & marketing, answered.

What is a fractional VP of Sales & Marketing?

A fractional VP of Sales & Marketing is an experienced go-to-market leader who runs your sales and marketing part-time, for a fraction of the cost of a full-time executive. For a B2B SaaS startup that means senior GTM leadership plus hands-on execution across outbound, inbound, and closing, without a full-time salary, equity, or a long hiring process.

When should a startup hire a fractional sales leader?

When you have a product and a few customers but no repeatable way to get more, and the founder no longer has time to run sales alone. It's usually the right move before you're ready to commit $300k+ to a full-time VP. A fractional sales leader builds the motion first, so any future hire ramps far faster.

How much does a fractional VP of Sales cost?

SaaS Stars engagements start at $3,500/month for coaching and run to $11,500/month for fully done-for-you sales and marketing, plus a 10% commission on deals we source and close in place of equity. That's roughly a quarter of the all-in cost of a full-time VP of Sales & Marketing, which runs $300k to $400k+ per year plus equity in major US markets.

Fractional vs. a full-time VP of Sales: what's the difference?

A full-time VP costs a large salary, equity, and a six-month hiring gamble before you know your motion works. A fractional VP gives you the same senior experience part-time, month-to-month, with no equity, ideal while you're still finding what works. When you're ready to scale, you hire full-time with a proven playbook in hand.

How is this different from a sales agency?

Agencies hand you leads and disappear, and many promise a set number of meetings. We embed as your team, figure out your ICP, messaging and positioning, and run the full funnel from your own accounts as US-based operators, not an overseas lead-gen shop. You keep the playbook we build.

Do you take equity?

No. Instead of equity, we work month-to-month and take a 10% commission only on deals we directly source and close. You get senior sales and marketing leadership without giving up ownership of your company.
