How we work together

Two ways to engage

Pick the model that fits where you are.

Fractional Leadership

Embedded VP-level revenue leadership

Senior revenue leadership embedded in your business. The impact of a full-time hire without the overhead.

2–3 days/week · 3–6 month engagements

Project Work

Focused engagements with clear deliverables

A defined problem, a senior perspective, a clear deliverable.

4–12 week sprints · Fixed scope

What J3 delivers

Applied where your business needs it most.

Go-to-Market Strategy

ICP, channel strategy, and launch sequencing built to create pipeline, not just activity.

Positioning & Messaging

Sharp positioning so your team always knows who they're selling to and why they win.

Sales Playbooks

Discovery frameworks, objection handling, and deal review cadences so every rep executes the same way.

Sales Operations

CRM architecture, pipeline governance, and forecasting that give leadership real visibility.

Process Optimization

Find and fix the friction points that slow down conversion.

Structuring for Scale

Team design, hiring profiles, and compensation built to turn an early team into a repeatable engine.

Startup Advisory

For founders navigating their first hires, early enterprise deals, or the move away from founder-led sales.
