At the Build It to Sell It Conference, Josh Davis, CRO of Mail Shark, was asked a simple but important question during a marketing panel:
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 2026?
His answer was straightforward: treat marketing like an investment and put a real marketing plan on paper.
For many trades businesses, that’s where a fractional CMO becomes one of the smartest investments an owner can make, especially when a full-time executive isn’t the right move yet.
The right fractional CMO brings strategy, accountability, and clarity, replacing guesswork and reactive decision making.
In this article, Josh is joined by Sosa Rossell of High Caliber Marketing Solutions who shares how to find the right fractional CMO, how a fractional CMO helps trades businesses scale, and what to look for to ensure the right fit.
