Summit Fractional CMO
Welcome to Select Advisors Institute!
Our Outsourced CMO package is designed to provide a complete transformation of your firm’s marketing, branding, and sales strategies. We take a comprehensive approach, starting with a discovery phase to identify your specific needs and goals.

Why Choose This Package?

By addressing process improvement, team coaching, and content creation, we deliver tools and strategies that not only elevate your firm’s brand but also create lasting operational efficiencies.
I: Your first payment of $4,500 will be considered your agreement to the full terms of this contract. Execution of this contract will deliver to you:
20 Priority Action List (PAL) Items over the course of 12 months. Discovery, Research, and Audit are NOT included in the 20 PAL Deliverables, meaning they don’t take away from your 20 deliverables.
The final list of the first 20 Delivery Items for the first 12 months will be finalized within the first 60 days of this contract’s execution (assuming we remain on schedule and feedback is provided in a timely manner).
Larger deliverables, such as a complete website redesign, may require the use of multiple PALs (e.g., 4-5 PALs depending on the scope).
Some of the essential PALs that will be part of the 20 PAL list will begin during the research phase.
These Priority Action List Items can address all divisions of your firm or focus on key areas (e.g., wealth management, tax, or investments).
Examples of Possible PAL Deliverables Include, but Are Not Limited To:
A comprehensive 20-50 page brand guide with revised messaging, tagline, mission statement, tone, and voice.
