Salesforce Strategic Advisory
Salesforce strategic advisory in Minneapolis starts with a readiness audit, then a paced rollout and governance — not a pile of unused licenses. We name the gap between platform maturity and organizational readiness before the next build.
Some companies need a senior operator before they need — or can justify — a full-time executive hire. Our fractional leaders step into the COO, CFO, or strategy seat one to three days a week, sit in your leadership meetings, and carry real decisions, not just advice from the sidelines. Every fractional engagement runs on a three-month minimum with 30-day notice either way, so the arrangement stays honest on both sides.
What's included
- A named partner-level leader — COO, CFO, or strategy — not a rotating bench
- Embedded in your leadership meetings and decision-making, not a monthly check-in
- Scoped to one to three days a week, matched to your stage and budget
- A 90-day plan agreed with you before the first day starts
- Direct accountability for the KPIs set in week one
- A clean handover plan if and when you hire full-time
How the engagement goes
Working session
A partner hears the gap — a CFO who left, operations outgrowing the founder, a strategy seat that's been empty too long — and scopes the right level of involvement.
Fit & scope
We agree the days per week, the decisions the fractional leader will own, and the KPIs that define success before anyone starts.
Embed
Your fractional leader joins leadership meetings and carries real decisions from week one — this is deployment, not advisory from a distance.
Review & handover
Progress reviewed against the plan every two weeks, with a clear path to extend, adjust, or hand off to a full-time hire when you're ready.
Questions about salesforce strategic advisory
How long does a typical engagement last?
The diagnostic takes three weeks. Most execution engagements run 60–120 days, and about nine in ten clients then keep a lighter quarterly cadence. Nothing auto-renews and nothing is open-ended — every phase has a defined end date and a defined deliverable.
We’re a 20-person company, not a Fortune 500. Are we too small?
You’re our core client. Redpath Consulting Group works with companies roughly – in revenue — big enough to have real operational complexity, small enough that a 23% EBITDA improvement changes the owner’s life. We size scope and fees to a mid-market P&L.
How much does a consulting engagement cost?
The first 45-minute working session is free. A three-week diagnostic is a flat , credited in full if you continue to an engagement. Execution sprints run on a fixed monthly fee scoped to deliverables — typically – per month depending on scope — and fractional leadership starts at per month. Every price is agreed in writing before work begins.
