We've cracked the code on how to scale a highly profitable Fractional CMO practice. Want to learn how?

If you're tired of grinding out tactics while clients undervalue your thinking, you're not alone. It's time to lead with strategy—not deliverables.
Tactics are cheap. Clients are overwhelmed. And the only thing they’ll pay a premium for now? Strategic leadership. Discover the system that turns you into the advisor they can’t live without.

Attend our next 3 day intensive certification 
and start your journey to becoming a highly sought after strategic advisor. 

Talk with a strategist, not a salesperson. Let’s explore how this system fits your business.

What if you stopped selling services… and started delivering results?

What Makes This Different?

  • A Repeatable Framework – No more custom proposals for every project. Get a proven system that works.
  • Built for Consultants & Small Agencies – This isn’t theory. It’s a tested approach designed for service-based businesses.
  • Start Landing Clients Immediately – We support you until you close enough new business to recoup your investment.
  • Future-Proofed with Practical AI – You’ll learn how to harness the right AI tools to supercharge your execution.

Who This Program is For

Is This Certification Right for You?

This Program is for:

  • Marketing Consultants & Coaches - Who want a clear, proven process to deliver results and scale their business.
  • Agency Owners - Needing a structured system to help clients and grow profitably
  • Freelancers & Solopreneurs - Looking for a consistent, repeatable way to get and keep clients.
  • Fractional CMOs - Wanting to implement a proven methodology and scale beyond billable hours

This Program is NOT for you if:

  • You want quick hacks instead of a sustainable, proven system.
  • You’re unwilling to engage with clients at a strategic level.
  • You’re not ready to invest in growing a real consulting business.
  • But if you’re ready to sell strategy at a premium, build predictable revenue, and scale beyond project-based work… you’re in the right place.

The ROI has been extraordinary. We paid a fee to license the Duct Tape Marketing system but we already made two $60,000 deals in just two weeks. It's a much bigger value than the price we paid.

Traditional Consulting vs. Strategy First

Why Strategy-First is the Smarter Business Model

What Happens When You're Stuck in the Traditional Consulting Model?

  • Chasing new clients every month with no predictable income.
  • Clients see you as a “commodity priced vendor,” not a strategic partner.
  • Underpricing your expertise & missing out on premium deals.
  • Never building a scalable, profitable consulting business.

What Happens When You Switch to Strategy First?

  • $10K+ engagements & $5K-$10K/month retainers.
  • Clients see you as a trusted advisor for ongoing work.
  • You'll have a  system that attracts & converts high-value clients.
  • Business growth that doesn’t depend on constantly chasing leads.

“It’s time to stop selling your time—and start selling your expertise. Let us show you how.”

FAQs

Still Have Questions? We’ve Got Answers.

How quickly can I land my first $10K+ client?

  • Many participants land their first Strategy First client within weeks—some even before completing the certification.
  • We work with you until you close your first $10K+ client through coaching, templates, and sales training.
  • Your success is our priority. That’s why we offer the First Client Promise.

What if I’ve never sold strategy before?

No problem! Most of our members come from project-based or execution work (SEO, branding, social media, web design, etc.).

This program teaches you exactly how to position, sell, and deliver Strategy First engagements—even if you’ve never done it before. 

How does the AI Marketing Engine fit into this program?

Our AI Marketing Engine is built to help you and your clients work smarter. You'll learn how we think about AI and how to use our AI engine for better & faster execution for you and your clients. Always staying guided by strategy first, so you stay in control of client outcomes and build high-quality execution systems.

Can I still apply if I run an agency with a team?

Absolutely! Many agency owners use this program to transition from low-margin project work to high-value retainers.

You’ll learn how to sell strategy separately so clients see your agency as a high-level partner—not just another service provider.

In addition, once you join, you can add team members for a deeply discounted rate.

What’s the difference between the Accelerator and the Sprint program?

  • Accelerator: Includes full certification, DTM Network access, and our First Client Promise ($10K value).
  • Sprint: All of the above plus 12 weeks of 1-on-1 coaching, a done-for-you Strategy First audit, and priority referrals ($30K+ value).
  • Choose Accelerator if you want to implement at your own pace.
  • Choose Sprint if you want faster, hands-on coaching and done-for-you setup.

Will this work for me if I’m just getting started?

  • Yes! Whether you’re pivoting from freelance work, coaching, or launching a consulting practice, this program gives you a repeatable process to win high-value clients.
  • You’ll get step-by-step guidance, real-world scripts, and hands-on support to help you succeed—even if you’re starting from scratch.

What makes this different from other coaching or certification programs?

Unlike other programs that teach tactics without a system, we give you:

  • A repeatable framework that works for agencies & consultants.
  • A guaranteed path to your first $10K+ client.
  • Hands-on support, templates, and a real business model—not just theory.

We don’t just teach you—we stay with you until you win.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

We don’t offer refunds, but we remove the risk with our First Client Promise—we work with you until you land a $10K+ client, so your investment pays for itself.


🔥 No other program offers this level of commitment to your success!

Is this just for people who are starting out?

No! While this program is perfect for those transitioning into strategy work, we also work with:

  • Established consultants who want a repeatable system to land clients.
  • Small agency owners looking to sell strategy separately & move to retainers.
  • Freelancers & coaches who want to increase their pricing & revenue stability.

📌 Whether you’re just starting out or scaling an existing business, this program gives you a proven roadmap to grow faster.

Can I charge more than $10K for strategy?

Absolutely! Many of our members charge $10K-$15K for Strategy First engagements and $5K-$10K per month for retainers.

📌 We teach you how to price for value, so you can charge premium rates with confidence.

What if I already offer strategy—how is this different?

If you’re already selling strategy, this program will help you:

  • Package & price it more effectively (so you can charge $10K+ upfront).
  • Turn strategy work into long-term retainers ($5K-$10K/month).
  • Create a repeatable, scalable system instead of custom work for every client.

📌 Even experienced strategists find that this model helps them sell more strategy, more consistently, at higher prices.

How does the First Client Promise work?

We are committed to your success—so we don’t just teach you the system, we work with you until you land your first $10K+ client.

📌 This includes:

  • 1-on-1 coaching to develop a client acquisition plan.
  • Sales templates, pricing guides, & positioning strategies.
  • Ongoing support to ensure you get results.

🔥 You’re never on your own—we support you until you win!

Do I need a big audience or email list to succeed?

Not at all! Many of our most successful members start with no audience—we teach you:

  • How to attract clients even without an existing list.
  • How to position yourself as an authority quickly.
  • How to use referrals, partnerships, and outreach to land clients fast.

📌 You don’t need a big following—you just need a proven system.

What does this work best for?

This system works for any service-based business that sells marketing, consulting, or coaching.

  • Marketing Agencies & Freelancers
  • Business & Growth Consultants
  • Branding, Web Design, and SEO Experts
  • Fractional CMOs & Coaches

📌 If you help businesses grow, this program gives you a structured way to sell and deliver strategy at premium rates.

What happens after I complete the 3-day certification?

Your journey doesn’t end after certification—it’s just the beginning!

📌 After the training, you’ll get:

  • Ongoing access to the DTM Network & Mastermind calls.
  • Live support to refine your client acquisition & delivery process.
  • Continued coaching to help you scale into long-term retainers.
