South Summit Partners is the fractional CMO that doesn't stop at leads. We build the marketing, sales, and AI infrastructure that owns the full revenue journey — pipeline, close, retention.
"Sales and marketing alignment" is a lie. It assumes they were ever supposed to be separate.
"AI fatigue" is real — because most firms sell the hype, not the system.
A three-phase framework, applied to every engagement. Diagnose what's broken in your revenue system. Architect the strategic and technical fix. Operate it as a continuous capability — because revenue systems are never finished, only running.
The first 30 days. We map the revenue system as it exists today — pipeline, conversion, AI visibility, data quality, retention. Quantified gaps, prioritized.
The next 60 to 90 days. We architect and ship the strategic and technical systems — content, automation, integrations, data enrichment, AI workflows. Owned by SSP, designed for handoff.
Ongoing. Revenue systems compound when they're operated as a continuous capability, not a project. We stay close — measuring, optimizing, evolving.
Most firms force a choice between strategic leadership and technical execution. We don't, because the wall between them is where most companies lose pipeline. SSP runs both inside the same engagement, by the same person, against the same plan.
Senior marketing leadership at a fraction of the cost — without losing the full-time strategic depth.

Every engagement starts with something useful you'll own regardless of what happens next. The decision to continue is yours, not ours.
A free self-diagnostic. Twelve questions, an automated score, and a short report on where your marketing system is leaking. No call required.
Take the Pulse CheckProductized diagnostic — 50+ buyer-intent queries tested across six AI platforms, technical and content diagnostics, competitive citation analysis, prioritized 90-day plan.
See the auditA 30-minute conversation. Not a pitch. A working session on what you're actually trying to solve and whether SSP is the right fit. Often the answer is no.
Book the callPricing is published on purpose. You shouldn't need a discovery call to learn a number.
Our deepest expertise is in regulated industries — healthcare especially — where the strategy has to clear compliance and the technology has to clear scrutiny.
Long-form pillar pieces and shorter field notes. Anti-hype. Built to be cited. Free to read, useful to apply.
If you have a question that isn't here, the strategy call is the right place. We're usually direct about whether SSP is or isn't the right fit, and either answer is useful to you.
A fractional CMO is a senior marketing executive who works with a company part-time, typically 10 to 20 hours per week, providing the strategic leadership of a full-time CMO at a fraction of the cost. Fractional engagements are month-to-month, scope-flexible, and designed for companies that need senior marketing leadership but aren't ready to hire a full-time executive.
Most fractional CMOs advise on AI; they don't implement it. Most AI consultants implement; they don't understand revenue strategy. SSP is one of very few firms that does both — the same person who designs the marketing strategy builds the AI systems that execute it. We also don't stop at leads. We architect the full revenue journey: pipeline, close, and retention.
Revenue Systems Architecture is SSP's proprietary methodology — a three-phase framework that diagnoses revenue system gaps, architects the strategic and technical fixes, and operates the resulting system as a continuous capability. It applies to fractional CMO engagements, AI implementations, and AEO work alike.
Our active client work spans healthcare, construction, food and CPG, legal, technology, and outdoor industries. Our deepest vertical expertise is in healthcare — payer, provider, and pharmacy benefits — given Jeff L. Turner's 30 plus years in managed care and pharma benefits leadership.
Most engagements start with the AI Visibility Audit (a productized 10 to 14 day diagnostic, $3,500 to $7,500), the Marketing Pulse Check (free self-diagnostic), or a 30-minute strategy call. The audit and Pulse Check are designed to give you a useful deliverable even if we never work together further.
The Pulse Check is the lightest way in — five minutes, free, no call. The strategy call is for when you've already decided you want a working session. Either is fine. Both are useful.
