How do I know if I’m ready to hire a fractional Chief of Staff?

Are you excited about business growth but need professional support? It’s normal for your business to experience some growing pains, but are you trying to do everything on your own?  Are you focused on so many moving parts that you often run out of time?  Do you need help establishing a better foundation? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, you could benefit from a chief of staff on your team.

Read our “Key Indicators that you need a Chief of Staff”.

Fractional v Full Time?

There are significant costs associated with hiring full time employees.  But you may be asking can a Fractional Chief of Staff deliver?  In the words of Mike Michalowicz (business guru).  “Give someone 8 hours work to do in an 8 hour day,  it will take them 8 hours, but give someone 8 hours work to do in 4 hours and it will still get done.”  Our time is totally focussed on you. No distractions. No water cooler breaks. Just you.

How much does it cost?

An experienced Chief of Staff that has an entrepreneurial spirit is gold for business owners. The reality is in the open market rates can be anything up to $200+ per hour + benefits. Our fees are significantly less plus we cover all employees benefits and taxes. Not you.

Is there a commitment?

We only ask that you commit to working with us for 90 days allowing us enough time to get in sync with you and begin making an Impact.

For the uninitiated you ask: What is a Chief of Staff?

“Chief of Staff” may seem like a buzzword around the Startup scene or in positions of the highest ‘powers in the land’, such as the White House and Military. But it’s quickly catching on outside of these spheres as companies discover business’ best-kept secret.

Thousands of business owners are now adopting this role to give them the same superpower that government leaders and tech titans enjoy.

So don’t worry, this role isn’t exclusively for the big end of town. It’s for any business undergoing or aiming for accelerated growth.

They know that hiring Chiefs of Staff, especially Fractional Chiefs of Staff, is the quickest way to supercharge their business. We know, because we talk to them every day.

It gets serious results. It’s the kind of thing that once you see it, you can’t un-see it.

Do I get to choose my Chief?

We know our team better than anyone so we will make a recommendation for the right Chief for your particular needs, and you will be introduced to them before you commence working with us.

Will my Chief be working with other clients?

Your Chief  works for up to three clients at any time, therefore we appreciate you giving us sufficient notice to complete our work, and advising us of any deadlines that we need to work toward.  You will always be working with your assigned Chief. However, you will have access to the combined knowledge of our team. We work collaboratively both within your team and within our own.

Are your Chief’s specialists in everything?

Our collective expertise covers a wide range of specialist areas.  However, we do introduce niche specialists to our clients should they be needed, such as Accountants, Attorney’s, Insurance Brokers and the like.  Our network of specialists are often our clients, known as our Chiefly Community, and business partners so they are tried and trusted.  You never know we might even be able to refer business your way!

What if I want to adjust my Service?

If at any time you would like to adjust your Service, for example adding additional hours or a supplementary service, please let your Chief know. An Addendum to your service will be sent for authorization ahead of the adjustment.
