TRUSTED BY

Whether you’re an early-stage founder or a scaling company, sales leadership challenges look familiar:

  • Uncertainty about whether your sales team, process, and systems are set up for success
  • Founders or executives wearing the “head of sales” hat on top of everything else
  • A lack of clarity around your ICP, messaging, or sales playbook
  • Inconsistent data that makes it hard to forecast, measure, or optimize
  • Growing pains when trying to move from a handful of early wins to a repeatable sales engine

You don’t necessarily need a full-time CRO, but you do need expertise, process, and a clear path forward.

FuelK12 provides on demand fractional CRO strategic support as well as several more structured consulting arrangements.

Go-to-Market Readiness Assessment

4 Weeks to Clarity and Direction

Building a strong pipeline of opportunities comes down to 3 things… Am I positioning my offering in the market correctly? Do I have the right go-to-market processes in place? Do I have the right people to execute? During this 4 week engagement, we will do a deep level assessment on your Positioning, Process, and People to better understand where you should be focusing your efforts to see the best results.

A detailed Assessment Overview will be presented outlining the results of the assessment and sharing the top recommendations for your go forward plan. You’ll walk away with clarity, focus, and an actionable roadmap that helps you avoid wasted time and resources.

  • For early-stage companies, we help you avoid costly hiring and process mistakes.
  • For growth-stage companies, we identify where your engine has plateaued and what’s holding you back.

Outbound Motion Accelerator

Your Go-to-Market Playbook, Built by Experts

Whether you are launching a new product or entering the K-12 Market for the first time, that initial go-to-market approach can be confusing. Most early stage founders leverage their network to get their first sales, but what happens when you exhaust that network or never had one to begin with? How to know which schools or districts are the best fit for your offering and what is the right approach to engaging with them?

The Market Accelerator is a comprehensive approach to building out your playbook for scaling demand for your offering. We start with researching which states, systems, and districts are your best targets. Then based on the research, build out a custom go-to-market playbook that documents details on your target personas, how to effectively communicate and position your offering, example email campaigns and scripting, and a detailed outreach strategy. Once complete, your team will receive two 60 minute training sessions to ensure the knowledge from the playbook is fully understood.

CRM & Database Optimization

Turn Your Data Into a Growth Engine

I can’t count how many times our team has engaged with an organization only to find that the CRM is a total mess. Duplicate records all over the place, no connections with the data, inconsistent processes and changes that leave the leadership team feeling like they are in the dark about their business. When the CRM is not maintained properly or built with a revenue process in mind, things can get out of control quickly. What should be simple decisions turn into weeks of digging through data and maybe never finding the answers.

FuelK12 data experts are fluent in many of the top CRMs and absolute experts when it comes to Revenue Operations. FuelK12 will dive into your CRM, review the situation, and provide you with a recommended plan of attack based on the goals you are trying to accomplish. We can clean up the mess and give you the guide and processes to keep the system working for you and not against you.

We’re not just advisors, we’re partners who roll up our sleeves and help you implement change.

With decades of combined K–12 sales expertise and experience supporting over 200 education companies, we’ve seen what works—and what doesn’t. Our consulting services are designed to give you the strategic leadership and systems you need, without the burden of hiring a full-time CRO before you’re ready.

Whether you’re validating your first sales hires, building outbound from scratch, or cleaning up messy data, FuelK12 gives you the expertise to get it right the first time.
