More pipeline won't fix a story that puts you in the wrong comparison.

So every engagement starts with the Category Diagnostic: one week to find what's actually holding growth back. From there, I lead your team, work with what you have, or build what's missing, depending on what it finds.

Start with the Category Diagnostic | Score your category momentum

How we work together

It starts with the Category Diagnostic. What it finds decides which of the three ways fits.

Category Diagnostic

One week. I review your positioning, how you reach buyers, what happens from first visit to pipeline, and what buyers find when they research you in search and AI tools. It's scored against the GTM Operating System and my Category Momentum Model.

Ends: With a readout to your leadership team. You can stop there. Best for: CEOs who want a straight read before committing budget, and operating partners who want the same read across several portfolio companies.

Lead your team

I step in as the marketing or go-to-market leader. I set the direction, run the team, own the plan and the numbers, and report to the CEO and board.

Length: Month to month. Best for: Companies without a senior marketing leader, or between hires.

Work with what you have

I plug into your existing team, tools and agencies, and fix what's holding pipeline back without starting over.

Length: Month to month. Best for: Teams that have the people and the tools, but not the results.

Build what's missing

When the engine doesn't exist yet, for a first go-to-market build or a reset, I stand it up and hand it to your team to run.

Length: Priced monthly. Most builds run three to six months. Ends: When it's live and your team can run it. Everything built stays with you.

Why companies choose FrohnenGTM

I've run it from the inside

I've led go-to-market at B2B SaaS companies for more than 15 years, with teams from 2 to 70. I've owned the budget, built the team and reported to the board.

Category first

The Diagnostic decides where the constraint actually is. When it's the position, that gets fixed before more money goes into demand.

AI underneath the work

I use AI across the work, from research to campaigns to reporting, so your team moves faster and knows what's working.

Results from go-to-market I've led in-house

+73% ARR growth, after a year of negative growth

3.4x Average deal size as the motion moved upmarket

20% to 75% Marketing-sourced revenue, rebuilt around ABM

3.3x Transactions on a rebuilt demand engine

Who I work with

The frameworks behind the Diagnostic

The Category Diagnostic is scored against the GTM Operating System, the eight-pillar framework from GTM Partners. I'm a GTM OS Certified Implementation Partner. My Category Momentum Model sits on top of it. Four stages, sixteen questions, each scored 1 to 5. The weakest stage shows where to dig in first, and the order matters: demand programs don't hold on a weak category position.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to start with the Diagnostic?

It's where most engagements start, because it tells us which of the three ways fits. It also stands on its own: some companies take the readout and run with it using their own team.

How is it priced?

The Category Diagnostic is priced up front, so you know the cost before we start. The work after it is monthly and scoped from what the Diagnostic finds. You get a written proposal before anything starts.

What does my team need to put in?

A leadership sponsor, usually the CEO, and the people who own sales and marketing today. We agree up front what I own and what your team owns, and that depends on whether I'm leading the team, working alongside it, or building something new.

Can the engagement change over time?

Yes. A common path is building what's missing first, then leading the team while it runs, then stepping back to an advisory role once your team has it.

How is this different from a fractional CMO?

It can look similar when I'm leading your team. The difference is the start: a one-week Diagnostic, so we agree on the constraint before any monthly work, and the scope is tied to a result rather than hours. What gets built stays with you.

What is the GTM Operating System?

The GTM Operating System is an eight-pillar framework from GTM Partners covering Total Relevant Market, Market Investment Map, Brand and Demand, Pipeline Velocity, Leadership and Management, Customer Time-to-Value, Customer Expansion, and Revenue Operations. I'm a GTM OS Certified Implementation Partner, and the Category Diagnostic is scored against it.

What is the Category Momentum Model?

It's my four-stage diagnostic for where a go-to-market constraint sits: Category Positioning and Narrative, Product Velocity and Market Signal, Demand and Channel Strategy, and Sales Enablement and Revenue Alignment. Each stage is scored, and the weakest one is usually the constraint. The order matters, because demand programs don't hold on a weak category position. You can score your own category momentum with the free tool.

Do you work with companies outside B2B SaaS?

My focus is B2B SaaS and vertical software, mostly in operations, maintenance, field service and logistics. If you're outside that, I'll tell you on the first call whether I'm the right fit, and point you somewhere better if I'm not.
