The role What does it mean to be a fractional CMO for siding companies?
As your fractional CMO, I'm the senior marketing leader your siding
company gets without paying $200K+ for a full-time hire. I set the growth
strategy, lead the vendors and CSRs who touch marketing, and own the result
the way a full-time CMO would. The difference is that I'm not just advising
from the sidelines, I'm in the account doing the work and reporting on it.
The first thing I build is real attribution. I set up call tracking with
CallRail or CallTrackingMetrics and connect it to your CRM, whether that's
MarketSharp, JobNimbus, AccuLynx, improveit360, or something else, so we can
see which leads actually turn into booked in-home estimates and signed
contracts. That tells me where to scale spend and where to cut it, instead of
guessing from lead counts. For siding specifically, I market to the
real economics: this is a high one-time ticket with no recurring
base, a considered, financing-driven exterior home-improvement
project that's sold in the home. A full re-side runs $10K to $40K or more, so
the strategy is lead quality, close rate, average ticket, and referrals, not
subscription LTV. And because many siding companies are exterior-remodelers,
there's real cross-sell upside across windows, roofing, and gutters that
raises the average project value.
The role is strategic, not just tactical. I run competitive and market
analysis to understand what other siding companies in your markets
are doing, then use that to inform your strategy and your business direction
from a marketing lens: where to push, which markets to enter, and how to
position. And I stay close. I'm in your inbox most days, send a weekly
performance report, and keep you current on exactly what got done and what's
next. Most siding owners get strategy from a consultant, execution
from an agency, and accountability from no one. I bring all of that into one
person who owns the number, marketing your business through lead quality,
close rate, proof, and a strong in-home sales process.
