Full Pocket Method Certification Program

Fractional Integrator/COO

This flexible certification program is for successful business coaches and/or business consultants who are looking to uplevel their existing business by layering in the opportunity to add Fractional Integrator/COO services so you have a simple, repeatable system that delivers consistent results.  

This is a flexible opportunity that allows for the ability to add as many clients to augment your current business, or use this as a complete business system.  You have the option to meet with clients in-person, remotely or a hybrid or both. There is great flexibility in how you want to utilize your new FPC Certification. Using our system, you can use our suggested rate card to charge approx. $40,000 per year with approximately 1.75-2 hours per week per client.  

Note, this Methodology and Certification program is not for everyone. Please look carefully at the “Am I the Right Candidate Section,” of this to ensure you are aligned with the Full Pocket Core Values, Mission and have the prerequisites to apply to be a part of the program.

“Every company has an operating system whether it has a name or not. It’s a way to organize ‘human energy’.”

It’s hard to understand the operating systems of most companies because the leadership teams aren’t consistent in the way that the people in the organization meet, solve problems, plan, prioritize, follow processes, communicate, measure, structure, clarify roles, lead and manage. 

 

“The inconsistency leads to poor communication, dysfunction, and employees feeling frustrated and confused about what the priorities are. Ultimately the company never realizes its full potential.” 

 

Why one operating system? Everyone doing it their own way in an organization can’t work. The FPC Fractional Integrator/COO system helps define how you set priorities, meet every week and use the same terminology.

  • Feel like you can grow your current income and client base without reinventing the wheel so you can not be constantly looking for your next client (these client relationships last upwards of 2+ years) 
  • Have a system with built in trackable results so your client always understands the value you bring to their organization which means maintaining and growing these relationships equaling more revenue and traction. 
  • Helps you feel more “in the know” and understand the bigger picture so you don’t feel siloed in your clients business which means you are more effective with a macro vision of their organization. 
  • Saves time. When everyone has an understanding of the unified and shared vision of the leadership team, and is working in a focused and simple manner, magic starts to happen which means more fun and the ability to continually create whatever is next in the playbook. 
  • Eliminates unhealthy and time-wasting activities due to miscommunication which means everyone works together more as a fun loving team.

Earning Potential

This certification provides you the ability to increase your prices or extend your time container for contract work with clients based on their needs.

Example: $2.5-4k/month retainer fees per client for these specific services alone. 

$30k-$48k/client/year x 10 clients during any given month = $300k-480k/year. (5 clients = $150k-$240k/year)

So to break it down further, 1.75 hours/week per client x 5 clients = 8.75 hours/week total in client-meeting time.**

Benefits of the Certification:

1

Take your currently successful coaching/consulting business to the next level of success (in knowledge, implementation skills and in a revenue increase for your business), while simultaneously improving your own business traction. You will become your first client.
2

Create a Turn-Key model for your clients, especially for those who are looking to sell their business. Increase their business valuation amount with documented and profitable systems in place.

Increase your marketability: As a coach or consultant, you will now have a wealth of knowledge surrounding C-Suite COO systems, so that you can integrate it seamlessly into your practice. Operations are where issues (outcomes like profits, client and staff retention, quality, reputation) usually arise and not addressing the systems first will only produce a short-term, band-aid effect for the problem your client has hired you to help solve.

If you are already a fractional C-Suite consultant, combining your multiple C-Suite skills will enhance your effectiveness and will appeal to any small to midsize business owner’s bottom line.
5

You will be able to charge more because of your new high level of training and certification in a proven system that works when implemented for your clients.
6

Help support other business owners in relieving their stress and gaining more traction in their business, not only in profit increase, but in reduction of workload and peace of mind.

Learning Modules:

Week 1

Preparing for a Growth Mindset

Behavioral, social and emotional skills are what make humans indispensable.

Let’s begin the 8 week journey with your mindset. This first video session is 90 min and we will spend time learning a 5 step process to having a “growth mindset.”  The growth mindset is a critical element to look for when working with new clients. It also is the container in which we teach our clients in any individual 1:1 sessions the beginning skills of emotional regulation.

Week 2

Setting the Foundation for Success

Often, even the most mature of businesses have never taken the time to clearly define their unified vision for the business which leads to lack of clarity and ultimately confusion for their teams particularly as they grow and scale. 

When we begin work with any client, we begin the relationship with ensuring that all the foundational fundamentals of the company, the heart and soul, of the business is clearly delineated , communicated, displayed and positioned for all to see. 

It sets the course for the future which acts as an internal compass that keeps you from drifting off course.

Week 3

 Data, What Gets Measured Gets Done

Knowing the businesses financials at any given time is the absolute key to consistent, predictable growth.  Often business owners work in a reactive manner rather than a proactive manner.  Receiving a P&L “after the fact” or having a clunky project management system that you need to pull reports in doesn’t give you the most important numbers on a weekly basis so you can pivot and make real-time changes that affect the overall performance of the business.

A key element of development of the financial outlook is to define what the annual revenue (gross and net) is and then support that goal with quarterly milestones and defined revenue lines.

Week 4

Processes Documentation

Most small businesses have never taken the time to document their core processes. 

Documenting and simplifying core processes means business owners can create a self-sustaining organization that can run smoothly, even if a key member of the team isn’t there.

Why process document?

  • Creates clarity, reduces confusion, and gets everyone speaking the same language.
  • Identify where missing critical procedural steps exist 
  • Identify possible areas where improvements can be made.

Week 5

Working “On” The Business, Developing Key Priorities

Meetings are a necessary part of communication and problem solving for every business, but they aren’t always as productive as they should be. 

According to Atlassian, most employees attend 62 meetings per month, and are spending 31 hours in unproductive meetings. 

As you know, time is valuable, when it’s not used wisely, it can cost your company a lot of money.

In week 5, we’ll teach the concept of the OTB (On the Business) Weekly Meeting Agenda and how to avoid “Shiny Object Syndrome” and create laser focus on key priorities for the business.

Week 6

All About the People: Accountability Chart + Hiring The Right People + Fostering Culture

Organizational charts are focused on who reports to who, but they typically don’t address one of the major issues most companies struggle with: a lack of clarity around what the major functions of the organization are, and who is accountable for what. We will cover how to build an accountability chart and we will also share best practices for hiring the right way & fostering a healthy loving team environment.

Week 7

 Finding your Ideal Client
Tips, tricks and networking solutions

Now that you have the system in place, let’s go find your first client to work with.  Let’s work with your warm network first as it’s always a great place to start. Your ideal client needs to be at least $1M per year with 5+ employees, vulnerable and wanting help, hitting the ceiling and ready for growth.

Week 8
