This is an Open Coffee for Fractionals session — part of my coaching practice.In this 20th and final Open Coffee session, we had a strong mix of new and familiar voices: Chris Hilton, Jim Grey, Michael Berris, Noel Putaansuu, and me. We dug into what it really means to build a fractional practice, how to structure offers, and where the pitfalls show up when you drift into agency models.We got into: Why proposals work better as structured menus than open-ended negotiations Starting a fractional practice when you’ve only worked in corporate How to handle pricing, retainers, and avoiding hourly traps Growing vs. staying solo — and why many regret moving into agency models Using testimonials, recordings, and tools to reinforce value Noel’s work measuring smoke for wood stoves and wildfire prevention My own pivot from fractional coaching toward buying a businessNo slides. No pitches. No agenda. Just honest conversation.📅 Recorded September 15, 2025🎙️ Hosted by David Raistrick
