Fractional Executive Work

What It Is

Use years of industry experience to serve small businesses part-time in a senior role they can't afford full-time: fractional CFO, CEO, HR director, head of marketing, sales manager or bookkeeper. The creator says he has hired people this way, including a fractional sales manager who reviewed his sales process and helped him hire a full-time manager. He suggests making content that shows your expertise so businesses come to you.

The Pitch

The creator presents this as a direct way for experienced people to get paid well for skills small companies need but can only afford a few hours of.

Who It’s Best For

Experienced managers and specialists with a track record in one function, comfortable with client meetings.

The Truth (as we see it)

Fractional roles are a real and growing arrangement, and much of the work can be done remotely, though some clients will want occasional in-person time. The video gives no pay figures or steps beyond the idea, so expect to rely on your own network and reputation to land clients. Work involves regular meetings and responsibility for real business decisions. Shane Hummus uses the video to promote a free live training and his paid YouTube and personal-branding coaching program.
