Fractional Executive Retainers
Structuring successful retainer engagements
Retainer agreements provide ongoing access to fractional executive expertise for a fixed monthly fee. This model works well for ongoing strategic support, advisory relationships, and regular leadership involvement.
Define hours or days per month, scope of responsibilities, communication expectations, and deliverables. Clear structure prevents scope creep and ensures both parties understand the arrangement.
Retainers typically offer a discount over day rates in exchange for commitment and predictability. Price based on value delivered, not just hours, when possible.
Regular check-ins, clear communication about capacity, and periodic reviews ensure retainer relationships remain valuable for both the executive and the client.
