Revenue Architecture

From funnel to bowtie.

Most businesses stop at the funnel: attract a lead, close the deal, start again. But in businesses with repeat customers, retainers, dealers or subscriptions, most of the revenue comes after the first sale.

We design the whole bowtie: how customers find you and choose you on the left, and how they are onboarded, see results and grow with you on the right. Every stage gets an owner, a conversion rate and a KPI.

  4. CommitThe deal closes. Clear terms and a clean handover into delivery.

Retain & expand

  1. OnboardingThe first experience matches the promise. Set-up, training, early wins.
  2. ImpactThe customer sees results they can measure, so they stay.
  3. GrowthRepeat orders, upgrades, referrals and partner networks that compound.

Is your team ready for leadership? Growth needs leadership.
The Peter Principle

Is your team ready for leadership?

Success in one role does not guarantee readiness for the next. As businesses grow, top performers get promoted into roles they were never prepared for. Fractional leadership gives your team senior direction while you build the next layer of leaders, with clear roles, KPIs and a review rhythm.

How we engage

How we structure the work together.

Every client's situation is different. The engagement type depends on what the business needs, not a rigid package.

A focused problem-to-solution session. You bring a specific challenge: pricing, positioning, business model, market entry. We apply a structured diagnosis and deliver the diagnosis and an action plan. First 30 minutes free, then USD 150 a session.

One clear deliverable, one clear price. A website, a CRM implementation, an investor pitch deck and financial model, a brand identity. Defined scope, defined timeline, no ambiguity about what's included.

A multi-phase engagement that follows the business as it grows: Idea to Launch, Launch to Structure, Structure to Scale. Each phase has its own scope, deliverables and fee, paid in milestone-based instalments.

Ongoing embedded involvement as your fractional CMO, CRO or CGO. Not a consultant advising from outside, but part of your leadership team on a monthly retainer, 6–12 month contract.

A base monthly retainer combined with a percentage of incremental revenue generated, so compensation is tied to the outcomes the engagement drives. Typically structured from Phase 2 or 3 of a longer engagement.

One specific activity, no broader scope attached. A brand audit, a content strategy, a pitch review, a specific campaign. Clean, contained and priced on what the task requires.

Start with a free 30-minute pre-strategy session.

Bring one real business problem. You'll leave with a clearer view of the constraint and the next step, whether or not we work together.
