As Business Breakthrough Strategists, we specialize in helping businesses overcome obstacles and achieve significant growth. With a keen understanding of market dynamics, consumer behavior, and industry trends, we analyze businesses from every angle to identify areas for improvement and opportunities for expansion.

FMS Business Coaching possesses a deep knowledge of various business functions, including marketing, finance, operations, and management. We work closely with business owners and executives to develop tailored strategies that address specific challenges and capitalize on strengths.

Skilled at crafting innovative solutions to complex problems, whether it's developing a unique selling proposition, optimizing business processes, or launching targeted marketing campaigns. We leverage our expertise to guide businesses through periods of stagnation or uncertainty, steering them toward sustainable growth and profitability.

With our guidance and support, businesses can break through barriers, unlock their full potential, and emerge stronger and more competitive in their respective markets. We are not just consultants; we are a trusted partner on the journey to success, empowering businesses to thrive in an ever-evolving landscape.

CEO & Profit Breakthrough Strategist

I work with business owners who are self-managing sales and shouldn't be. Many SMBs don’t have the budget for a full-time superstar sales manager.  As an experienced sales leader and individual contributor for over 30 years with public and pre-IPO/start-up companies, I bring valuable experience to any business seeking to establish and refine a successful sales process. Specifically, I offer fractional sales management services as a Fractional Sales Director/Manager for SMBs and funded, early-stage start-ups. In this role, I benchmark the best sales practices of SMBs and start-ups, and leverage this knowledge to benefit companies in the San Francisco Metro Bay Area and beyond.

My areas of focus span the entire sales cycle, including lead generation, prospecting, qualification, negotiation, objection handling, deal closure, account management, pipeline funnel management, and more. In addition, I can help companies navigate sales technology, such as sales enablement and sales engagement tools, CRM selection and implementation, contact databases, call recording systems, outreach acceleration tools, and so on.

As we work together to build out your sales process, we'll address all of these key areas and ensure that your team is well-equipped to succeed by utilizing a proven, repeatable sales process.

Fractional Sales Director - Get Your SMBs Revenue Growing Again! Trusted Advisor for Small Business Owners & Sales Teams | Author: The SMB Owners’ Ultimate Guide To Sales Team Management

Hey there! I'm Chris Ferrato, the founder of FMS Business Coaching. Yep, you got it right - I'm all about turbocharging small businesses and solopreneurs with killer strategies that skyrocket leads, conversions, revenue, and, most importantly, profits. And guess what? I've got a bag full of tricks to make it happen.

Now, here's the kicker: I don't just throw advice at you and wish you luck. Nah, I'm all about getting down and dirty with you through my fractional coaching model. Think of it like this - you've got options: Want to DIY it? Cool. Prefer some hand-holding with DWY? No problem. Or heck, want us to just take the wheel with DFY? We've got you covered there too.

Let's talk real talk. Revenue's great, sure. But what really gets me going is what hits your bank account. That's where my secret weapon, the "Profit Acceleration Software™," comes into play. Give me 45 minutes, and I'll identify up to $100,000 in revenue and profit hiding in your business. Yeah, you heard that right.

Now, buckle up for the "Jumpstart 12" program. It's like rocket fuel for your business growth, with 12 proven strategies that'll make your head spin (in a good way). And listen, this ain't some shady get-rich-quick scheme. It's a straight-up, roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-to-work kind of deal. We put in the effort, implement those strategies like a boss, and bam - watch those profits soar. And hey, if you don't see results, you don't pay. Simple as that.

The best to see my content and point-of-view is on my LinkedIn page - www.linkedin.com/in/chrisferrato I am revamping my website for this new focus in 2024 and beyond and it is coming soon.

But enough about me - let's talk about you. Curious about how I can turn your business into a profit-making machine? Shoot me a message, send me a DM, or hit me up at 408.221.8344. I'm here to help you secure that financial future for you and your family.

To your success,
Chris Ferrato
