How is GlenSource different from on-demand expert networks?
Expert networks aggregate opinions from multiple sources. GlenSource provides

How is GlenSource different from a general Fractional CRO?
Most fractional CROs apply generic sales frameworks across industries. GlenSource specializes in environmental, industrial, and asset-intensive service businesses, where growth depends on utilization, labor, routing, pricing discipline, and operational alignment. We focus on revenue quality and durability, not just top-line growth.
What is a Fractional CRO, and when is it the right fit?
A Fractional CRO provides senior-level revenue leadership on a part-time or interim
basis. It’s ideal when a company:
Needs immediate sales leadership
Is preparing for scale or investment
Is between executive hires
Wants to professionalize revenue without full-time overhead
GlenSource typically engages during growth inflection points or leadership
transitions.
