How do I decide what I need? That is the first question I get asked by startup CEOs or SMB Owners.
Below is a guideline of what a COO For Hire can do for you.
We have a CEO/Owner that is only good at product/engineering vs. sales/ marketing or vice versa and we need additional help.
We have first time Co-founders and need on-going coaching/advice from someone with startup and leadership experience.
We have a major release or we are raising our next round…and I need someone to jump in and help me get $h!+ done NOW!
We made the wrong decision within our company and now need help course correcting across multiple business units.
We need to scale, change our business model and/or rethink the company focus and aren’t sure where to start.
We need to set up our infrastructure, hire the right leaders or source outside services (HR, legal, marketing, accounting, etc.)
“Chris has been a great business/sales advisor. She is not afraid to roll up her sleeves and get into the thick of things, as opposed to just giving high level, general advice. Her recommendations were practical and translated into sales results for my company. With only a few hours a month, I was able to tap into the mind of a high level business executive, with vast experience in start ups - a rare combination! ”
“I am a first-time entrepreneur, following 20+ years in the corporate world. I have a lot of skills, a lot of knowledge, and even more ideas. I needed help executing and getting results. Chris listened, was able to untangle, prioritize, and establish a timeline of goals to help me effectively execute. She is part thought provoker and part strategist. I am confident that CM Advisory Group will be an ongoing investment. Chris has made me a better leader and will make Bedlove a stronger, more profitable and successful company. ”
