My Business Model
I don’t work with more than three clients.
That’s my business model, and it’s lucrative.
As a fractional seller,
I sell with and for founders at a Seed/Series A stage.
The big difference? I’m not a full-time employee.
📅 DAY-TO-DAY
The other difference: I’m not just in the trenches like an IC or to shadow.
I also support the sales and general business strategy, like a consultant, which is fun and challenging in a good way.
Why no more than 3 clients? Too much context-switching.
💵 PAY
What’s usually a base salary, is a retainer fee in my case.
On top comes a commission cut for deals, at times, equity.
The minimum commitment I ask is three months, otherwise
you can’t have an impact.
Why not 6? I don’t want to be stuck if we don’t click or the
product / market isn’t as promising as I initially thought.
💰 BONUS INCOME
I have a number of agreements solely for warm intros + insights. If a deal happens, I get a cut. Little to no effort! ("Only" my reputation)

I’m not reinventing the wheel and still figuring this out, but it’s allowing me a different lifestyle. (Also thanks to working with Stephanie Sgura.)
