The 5G Method: Gain, Gauge, Go, Get, Grow
Execution is where strategy becomes real.
At FractionalCXO.biz, we don’t stop at defining direction—we help teams move in it. Our 5G Method is a practical, structured approach that turns planning into progress, and intent into results. Built for fast-moving companies, this method helps leadership teams reduce guesswork, align around action, and scale with stability.
Each phase addresses a specific business need—so you're never stuck in analysis or overreacting under pressure.
1. Gain — understand before you act
We start with a full diagnostic to identify where things are working, where they’re misaligned, and where opportunity is hiding.
What we do:
• Speak with stakeholders across leadership and teams
• Audit strategic clarity and role alignment
• Map friction points across product, market, and revenue paths
This gives us context that goes deeper than performance reports—so we can focus on what really needs to shift.
2. Gauge – validate before you invest
We pressure-test your assumptions—about market readiness, customer behavior, and internal capability.
What we do:
• Benchmark against competitors and category trends
• Run feedback loops to test messaging, pricing, and positioning
• Review whether your team is equipped to deliver on strategy
This stage keeps you from overcommitting to ideas that don’t yet have traction.
3. Go – build the plan you can execute
We co-develop your go-to-market blueprint—not just at the strategy level, but with execution detail built in.
What we do:
• Prioritize channels based on reach, cost, and fit
• Sequence the rollout in weekly, actionable steps
• Define roles and team responsibilities clearly
By the end of this stage, you’ll have a GTM plan that your team can run with—without second-guessing or rewrites.
4. Get – deliver with focus
This is the transition from plan to performance. We ensure that delivery is visible, trackable, and aligned.
What we do:
• Launch pilots or MVPs with defined success criteria
• Connect your CRM, marketing, and sales tools
• Set up weekly execution rhythms for review and adjustment
This is where traction begins—and where we ensure it continues.
5. Grow – scale what's working
With the basics running well, we focus on helping the business grow without friction or overload.
What we do:
• Build reporting and visibility for investors or buyers
• Support founder transition and team restructuring
• Install P&L tracking and dashboard systems
• Coach senior leaders to take ownership and lead forward
This stage ensures growth is supported by internal capability—not just external urgency.
Execution with discipline
Across all five phases, we use structured scorecards, dashboards, and weekly check-ins to stay on course. We’re not here to add complexity—we’re here to make decisions clearer and execution smoother.
