Fractional Commercial Strategist
Every business runs on a framework. Most just don't know which one is running theirs.
Framework Strategy diagnoses exactly where a founder-led business is losing revenue — in sales, marketing, operations or follow-up — and then builds and runs the systems that fix it. No jargon, no 40-page deck. A plan you can act on this week.
- Sales 6/10
- Marketing 5/10
- Operations 7/10
- AI & Automation 3/10
- Leadership 8/10
- Reporting 4/10
"I've put together the biggest opportunities I can see. None of this needs you to change your business — it needs the right systems and processes implemented properly."
Founder-led consumer brands, lifestyle businesses and service companies that have outgrown gut-feel decision making.
Businesses looking for a generic marketing agency, or founders who want someone else to run the business for them.
One commercial strategist, embedded in your business — not a rotating team of juniors.
Inside the diagnostic
A 90-minute audit across six commercial pillars.
Before any recommendation is made, the business gets properly understood — where the profit actually comes from, where leads go to die, and what's quietly costing money every week. This is diagnosis before prescription.
The Business
What the business does, who it serves, what actually makes it money, and what success looks like twelve months out.
Sales
Where leads come from, conversion rate, who owns follow-up, and what happens the moment someone doesn't buy.
Marketing
How people actually find the business, whether reviews and referrals are collected, and what the marketing spend is really buying.
Operations
The software in use, how jobs are managed and invoiced, and which repeated task is quietly eating the week.
AI & Automation
Whether enquiries reach the right person automatically, emails and reminders are automated, and reviews get requested without being asked.
Leadership
What keeps the founder up at night, what they'd delegate tomorrow if they could, and what breaks first if revenue doubled.
The Framework 360™ process
From diagnosis to a working plan, in three moves.
The last ten minutes of the audit are spent on strengths, opportunities, and a single priority for the next 90 days — never a list so long nothing gets done.
The Audit
A 90-minute session across all six pillars, scored against an 80-point Business Growth Score, surfacing the two or three things costing the most money.
The Growth Report
A short, plain-English report — current strengths, growth gaps, and recommended priorities across the next 30, 60 and 90 days. No 20-page document nobody reads.
The Transition
A straight choice: take the recommendations and run with them, or bring Framework Strategy in to implement the plan over the next 90 days.
Packages
Three ways to work together.
Start with the audit, move into implementation when you're ready, and stay for ongoing commercial strategy if it earns its place.
