Services / Full Growth Ownership

One operator. One accountable owner.Your entire growth function.

When you’ve outgrown one-off agency engagements but aren’t ready to hire a $250K CMO, you need someone senior enough to run the function — strategy, vendors, execution, reporting — without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.

The problem

Five agencies. No accountability.

Most $5–25M B2B companies hit the same wall around year four. You’ve outgrown the single agency that handled “marketing.” You’ve hired a freelancer for content, a Shopify agency for the build, a paid media person for ads, an SEO firm for organic, and a deliverability vendor for cold email.

Five vendors. Five reports. Five Slack channels. Nobody owns the connection between them.

The work gets done, but it doesn’t compound. Content gets written but doesn’t link to product pages. Product pages get rewritten but don’t feed outbound. Ads run but don’t reflect what’s actually converting on the site.

Why this offer exists

The pattern is so consistent that we built this offering specifically for it.

One operator. One owner. Five services running as one motion.

How to engage

Two shapes. Pick the one that fits.

Same engagement model, two different operating shapes. Question one of the qualifier form routes you to the right one before the first call.

  • Shape A · 6-month minimum

    Fractional GTM Engineer

    From $20K / month

    One operator embedded in your leadership. Sets growth strategy with you. Owns execution across all services. Sits in your weekly meetings, reviews your numbers in your dashboards, ships work on your timelines.

    Best for

    $5–25M ARR companies with no current marketing / growth lead, currently spending $15–30K/mo across multiple agencies, looking for one accountable owner.

  • Shape B · 3-month minimum

    4-in-1 Coordinated Retainer

    From $12K / month

    Bundled execution across 2–5 services. Your team runs strategic decisions; our team runs the execution. Coordinated under one operator so the pieces actually compound.

    Best for

    Companies with existing marketing leadership who want one vendor coordinating AI search, content, outbound, dev, and catalog work — instead of stitching five separate agencies together.

Not sure which shape fits? Pick “Not sure — would like to discuss both” on the qualifier and we’ll work it out on the first call.

What’s included

Every service. Coordinated under one roof.

  • AI Search & GEO
  • Catalog AI
  • Editorial Authority
  • Website Development
  • Outbound Email
  • AI Search & GEO

    Schema rewrites, citation engineering, AIO-aware paid acceleration. The core practice — most engagements lean here first.

  • Catalog AI

    Product page rewrites at scale. Per-product schema, internal linking graph, AIO-citable FAQ blocks. Conversion + citation in one pass.

  • Editorial Authority

    Pillar pages, cluster posts, engineering Q&A hubs, category-level content. Built to be cited, not just published.

  • Website Development

    Performance-engineered builds and replatforms. Core Web Vitals committed in the SOW, schema baked in, you own the code.

  • Outbound Email

    Deliverability-first cold outbound. Multi-touch sequences with branching logic, hand-built lists, reply-quality reporting.

You probably don’t need all five. The qualifier helps us figure out which combination fits — and we’ll tell you on the first call if Full Growth Ownership isn’t the right shape for your situation.

Before you ask for a quote

Questions on the engagement itself.

Two shapes. Minimum-term mechanics. Where the price comes from. When this isn't the right fit.

  • 01What's the actual difference between Shape A and Shape B?

    Shape A means Artur is in your leadership meetings, setting growth strategy, owning execution decisions. You’re effectively hiring him as a fractional growth leader. Pricing is flat by company size — you pay the same whether we run 2 services or 5, because you’re paying for his time and judgment.

    Shape B means our team executes coordinated work across the services you pick. You keep your strategic leadership; we replace your agency stack. Pricing scales by service count — more services means more execution work means higher monthly fee.

    If you have a strong marketing leader in-house and just need execution coordination, Shape B is better. If your growth function is missing strategic leadership, Shape A is better.

  • 02Can I start with one or two services and add more later?

    Yes. Most Shape B engagements start with 2 services and grow to 3–4 over the first 6 months. We’d rather start narrow and earn the right to expand than over-commit upfront and underdeliver.

    Shape A engagements typically include scope expansion as a default — we adjust quarterly based on what’s working.

  • 03What happens if it's not working?

    After the minimum term (6 months for Shape A, 3 months for Shape B), you can exit with 30 days’ notice. No clawback on work delivered.

    Before the minimum term — we have an honest conversation in month 2 or 3 about what’s working. If something fundamental is broken (wrong fit, wrong scope, wrong stage), we’d rather acknowledge it and adjust than ride out a bad engagement.

  • 04Why is the price what it is?

    Shape A is priced against a full-time growth hire. A $200K base + benefits + equity + recruiting cost runs about $300K/year all-in. We’re priced at $20–35K/mo ($240–420K/year) for a fractional version that ships faster, scales down on 30 days’ notice, and doesn’t carry severance risk.

    Shape B is priced against the cost of running 5 separate agency retainers. If you’re already spending $20K+/mo on disjointed vendors, you’re paying coordination tax to yourself. We collect a portion of that tax in exchange for actually doing the coordination.

  • 05Who actually does the work?

    Shape A: Artur owns strategy and execution decisions. Salesolution’s operator team executes under his direction.

    Shape B: Salesolution’s operator team executes against the retainer scope. Artur reviews monthly and steps in on strategic decisions. Day-to-day ownership is with the operator team.

    In both shapes, you have direct Slack access to the operators doing the work. No PMs in the middle.

  • 06Is there a minimum company size?

    We see the best results at $5M+ ARR, or at multi-location and multi-site group scale (dental groups, roofing roll-ups, multi-location home services). Below that, the price point is hard to justify against simpler retainers — we’ll tell you so on the first call.

  • 07Does this replace a CMO hire?

    For most $5–25M companies, yes. The exception is companies preparing for an exit, raising significant capital, or building toward $50M+ ARR — at that stage, a full-time CMO with equity becomes the better answer.

    If you’re in that zone, we’ll usually recommend you hire and help you find the right person (we’ve placed three CMOs from our network in the past 18 months at no fee).

  • 08What if I only need one service?

    Then Full Growth Ownership isn’t the right shape. Pick the service that fits, and engage on its Sprint or Retainer tier directly. We won’t try to sell you the wrong product.
