How much revenue scaling experience do I need?

Ideally, you've led or significantly contributed to 2-3 successful revenue scaling journeys. Companies want CROs who've seen their stage before and know the playbook for their specific challenges.

Should I focus on a specific industry as a Fractional CRO?

Industry focus can help (SaaS, fintech, marketplaces) but go-to-market motion expertise often matters more. A CRO who's scaled enterprise sales motions can often translate across industries.
