Virtual and Fractional Technology Leaders—CTOs, CIOs, vCIOs, MSP owners, and senior tech consultants—who are strong technically and want more influence with decision-makers.
What you’ll build
The practical persuasion, positioning, and client management skills to be treated like a strategic partner, not a replaceable vendor.
This program is for you if…
You’re a Virtual or Fractional Technology Leader—CTO, CIO, vCIO, MSP owner, or senior tech consultant—who is already strong technically but wants more influence with decision-makers.
You’re operating at a high level
You:
- Advise small and mid-sized businesses and juggle multiple clients or portfolios.
- Are tired of being treated like a replaceable IT vendor instead of a strategic partner.
- Want clearer positioning, better sales conversations, and longer, higher-value engagements.
The real challenge
What the Strategic Impact Program is designed to do
The Strategic Impact Program helps you turn your expertise into strategic influence, predictable demand, and long-term client revenue as a Virtual or Fractional Technology Leader.
Become a strategic partner
Over four weeks, you’ll build practical persuasion and influence skills across three pillars: positioning, business development, and client management—so you are seen and treated like a board-level partner, not a contractor.
By the end of the cohort, you will:
- Clearly articulate who you serve, what you deliver, and why it matters in CEO and CFO language.
- Lead persuasive conversations that uncover real needs and connect your recommendations to outcomes like growth, risk, and profitability.
- Use simple systems for generating opportunities, managing scope, and retaining clients longer—without burning out.
The three pillars of strategic impact
Everything in the program is organized around three pillars that fractional tech leaders need to thrive: Positioning, Business Development, and Client Management.
Positioning
This pillar focuses on how you show up as a leader and how the market understands your value.
- Sharpen your executive presence—appearance, gravitas, and communication—so you feel like a peer to the C‑suite in every interaction.
- Clarify your niche and define a differentiated market position as a Virtual/Fractional Technology Leader, not “just another IT provider.”
- Craft a clear value proposition that translates your work into business outcomes decision-makers care about.
Business development
This pillar upgrades your persuasion skills and sales process for a fractional practice.
- Use storytelling frameworks to share your wins as short, compelling business stories instead of technical case studies.
- Lead outcome-focused discovery calls that feel collaborative and consultative, not pushy or overly technical.
- Build core sales assets—a sharp elevator pitch, one-page offer, and concise pitch you can reuse in networking, referrals, and executive meetings.
- Implement lightweight sales infrastructure: pipeline basics, CRM tracking, and right-sized lead generation that fits your calendar.
Client management
This pillar gives you tools to manage multiple clients, deliver quick wins, and grow accounts over time.
- Design simple systems and cadences to manage several clients without becoming the 24/7 firefighter.
- Build quick-win playbooks to create visible results in the first 30 days of an engagement.
- Use dashboards, progress updates, and executive summaries to make your impact visible and support renewals and upsells.
- Practice renewal and extension conversations so it’s natural to move from short-term projects to long-term partnerships.
What’s inside the 4‑week cohort
A focused, cohort-based experience that blends self-paced foundations with live, practice-heavy coaching.
Program format

- 4 weekly live group coaching sessions focused on practice, roleplay, and real-world scenarios tied to the three pillars.
- Post‑cohort support via online community, topical webinars, and optional one-on-one coaching for deeper deal or client work.

Is this the right fit?
This program is a strong fit if:
- You have 8+ years in technology leadership or senior delivery roles.
