Fractional CBO · Industrial distributors

What the seat owns

  • Positioning

    What you stand for beyond the line card: the expertise, service and reliability customers pay for.

  • One brand across branches

    A clear system for names, logos and voice when you've grown by acquisition or added locations.

  • Everywhere customers see you

    Catalogue, website, counter, trucks and sales materials, designed to work together.

  • Supplier co-branding

    Rules for how supplier brands sit next to yours, so co-op work builds your name too.

Your first 90 days

  1. Weeks 1 to 4: listen

    Talk to leadership, branch managers, sales and customers, and collect every place the brand appears.

  2. Weeks 5 to 8: decide

    Agree positioning, the brand architecture across branches and what changes first.

  3. Weeks 9 to 12: roll out

    Ship guidelines and the first materials, then set the quarterly cadence for keeping it consistent.

The seat comes with a team

Most fractional executives hand you a plan and leave. Fractional Plus puts the executive in the seat and the senior Chykalophia team behind them, so strategy, design, engineering and growth work actually ships.
