The Three Phases of a Fractional GTM Career
With Margie Agin, Centerboard Founder & Chief Strategist
Understand where you are, what’s next, and what to stop doing to move forward
This session is for you if you’re selling hours and hitting a revenue ceiling, or stuck executing activities when you want to deliver outcomes.
Over the last 13 years, I’ve never been without a client.
Not because I found the perfect niche on day one.
Not because I had it all figured out.
But because my fractional model evolved as my experience, positioning, and ambition evolved.
I’ll walk through the three distinct phases I went through when building my business, and what each phase taught me about pricing, positioning, delivery, and sustainability.
Learn the difference between:
Contractor / Freelancer
- Hourly pricing. Broad marketing support. Passive execution.
- What worked early—and why this phase eventually caps income and leverage.
- Project-based pricing. Clear deliverables. Early specialization.
- How building frameworks, IP, and systems increased margins and predictability.
- Value-based pricing and prospect conversations. Outcome-driven work. Strategy-first engagements.
- Why this phase unlocks trust, influence, and long-term revenue—without starting over.
