Pricing & engagement options

Support that fits where your business is now

Every engagement starts with a conversation. From there, we help you identify the right starting point based on what you need most — whether that means a focused project, ongoing support, or a deeper level of engagement.

Typical fit

We work best when the business is good, but the systems need work.

Most of the companies we work with are already doing real business. What they need is clearer visibility, stronger systems, and practical help turning good intentions into better execution.

  • You're making decisions without clear data, reporting, or visibility
  • Your CRM, pipeline, or follow-up process is messy or inconsistent
  • Your website, positioning, or messaging is not pulling its weight
  • Too much work is manual, fragmented, or dependent on one person
  • You want practical AI and automation help without the hype

Ways to work together

Three ways to work together, depending on how much support you need.

Some clients need focused senior guidance. Others need hands-on help building better systems across marketing, sales, reporting, and execution. Pricing reflects the level of involvement required, not just hours on a calendar.

01

Advisory

Advisory Retainer

For teams with internal doers who need sharper direction, clearer priorities, and an outside senior perspective.

$2,500/mo

Typical range: $2,000-$3,500/mo

Includes

  • Two focused sessions per month
  • Strategy, prioritization, and problem-solving conversations
  • Async review of assets, workflows, emails, pages, or reporting

One-off work

Need one defined project instead?

Some teams are not ready for an ongoing retainer. A fixed-scope project can give you a useful answer, working plan, or defined deliverable without turning it into a monthly engagement.

Final scope depends on complexity and deliverables.

  • Analytics dashboard or decision-support setup
  • CRM, pipeline, or marketing operations audit
  • Website, positioning, or conversion review
  • Follow-up, workflow, or automation teardown
  • 90-day growth or systems action plan

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How to choose the right engagement and what each option is designed to support.

Why not price by the hour?

Because the work is not a task queue. Ironsides North is usually brought in to improve visibility, sharpen priorities, strengthen systems, and help teams execute. Hourly pricing stays in the background as a floor, not the product.

Which engagement do most teams choose?

Fractional Leadership is the core offer. It gives businesses the steady leadership, execution support, KPI visibility, and system-building needed to create meaningful momentum.

What if we only need one project?

One-off projects start at $5,000 and are scoped around a defined outcome, such as an audit, dashboard, teardown, action plan, or workflow improvement project. If the work needs ongoing leadership, we will say that clearly.

What if our budget is smaller?

The Advisory Retainer is the controlled lower-commitment option. It gives your team senior direction, reviews, and a monthly plan without turning the work into a too-small execution engagement.

When does Growth & Systems Leadership make sense?

It fits best when leadership needs deeper involvement across pipeline, reporting, conversion, process discipline, and internal operating rhythm — and the business has enough traction and alignment to support that level of work.

Do you offer performance-based pricing?

Sometimes, but only when tracking is clean and Ironsides North has enough influence over the systems and decisions affecting the outcome. Performance components are not a substitute for the base engagement.
