Adding Fractional Services to Your Consulting Business
Nearly all solopreneurs struggle with inconsistent cash flow, and many have an urge to work more closely with their clients.
Small to mid-size companies struggle with affording the senior leadership they need to reach the next level.
Fractional executive roles are the answer to both of these challenges, but is it the right path for you as a solopreneur?
In this session, Katie Walter and John Arms, co-founders of the Fractional Conference and fractional CMOs in their own right, will break down how the Fractional model can help consultants expand the way they help clients and lock in recurring, stable revenue.
Attend this workshop to learn:
Fractional is quickly replacing costly, inefficient full time hiring. It’s a smarter way for companies to grow. And it provides an opportunity for solopreneurs to be part of a team while maintaining their independence. It also provides solopreneurs with a steadier, more dependable income.
There's no charge for this workshop.

Katie works hard to enable business growth. She is especially focused on helping Marketing teams do their best work.

In addition to his work at Voyageur, John serves as a Fractional Chief Marketing Officer, helping small and mid-sized companies scale through strategy-first marketing and executional clarity. His clients rely on him to bring structure, storytelling, and results—without the complexity of bloated teams or traditional overhead.

He is a sought-after speaker and advisor on the future of work, championing a world where freedom, opportunity, and fulfillment replace outdated models of employment—and where the best work of a person’s life can happen outside the walls of corporate.
