Capacity, not just budget
Does this business have the money, the team time, and the leadership bandwidth to act on strategic recommendations? Money without bandwidth isn't a qualified engagement.
Velocitor works with a small number of clients at a time. A short conversation tells us both whether this is the right fit.
Qualification isn't a formality. It's part of the work — asked naturally, not as a checklist.

Who is the decision-maker, and is there anyone outside the room — a partner, investor, or existing contract — who could block it later?
“Our marketing isn't working” is a symptom. The job before any proposal is figuring out whether the actual problem is marketing at all.
Businesses expecting strategic results in thirty days are usually solving for anxiety, not a real deadline. That distinction changes how — or whether — an engagement should be structured.

A short, honest conversation to see if there's a real fit — capacity, authority, timeline, the real need.
If it's a fit, a proposal. If it's not, an honest answer — and a referral when we can make one.
A full-time CMO makes sense at a certain revenue and complexity level — often beyond where most of my clients are right now. Fractional isn't a lesser version of full-time. It's the right-sized version of senior strategic thinking for a business that needs the expertise without the overhead of a six-figure executive hire it isn't ready to fully utilize yet.
An agency executes. I don't compete with agencies. I make sure the agency you hire, or your existing team, is executing against the right strategy instead of guessing. Most businesses that come to me have already hired an agency. What they didn't have was someone making sure that agency's work was aimed at the right target.
Hourly consulting is available, and it's a reasonable way to test the partnership before committing further. But real strategic work needs the space of a retainer to sequence properly: clarity, alignment, systems, and then execution. Hourly work can start that thinking. It can't finish it.
That's tactical execution, and it's intentionally outside my scope. Not because I can't do it, but because the strategic oversight role only works if I'm not also the one being reviewed. I'll work alongside your internal team or help you find and brief the right execution partner, but I won't be both the strategist and the vendor grading my own work.
Every engagement is priced individually rather than off a flat rate card. The starting point is the same one a company would use to budget a senior in-house hire: industry, revenue size and growth stage, geographic market, and the seniority the role calls for. From there, pricing accounts for the actual scope, complexity, and the business impact it's realistically expected to have. That's also why you won't find a flat number listed on this site.
I ask what “results” needs to look like, and by when, specifically — because the answer tells me whether we're solving a real timeline problem or an anxiety problem. If the foundation isn't ready, the fastest real path to results is still to fix it first. Going around it costs more time later, not less.
I could give you generic recommendations in one meeting. I won't, because generic recommendations for a business I don't understand yet are just guesses disguised in confidence. Discovery is where I find out whether your real challenge is even a marketing problem. Sometimes it just isn't.
The heaviest lift is mine, not yours. Discovery, diagnosis, and strategy development are my work. What I need from your team is honest information and decision-making at key checkpoints, not day-to-day involvement. If your team truly doesn't have bandwidth for even that, it simply isn't a good fit.
