Is AI and Fractional Expertise Shaping the Future of Business? - Rob Saltrese

This week on The Long Game, I had an insightful conversation with Rob Saltreis, the founder of Scale-Up Advisors and CxO LAB. Rob’s expertise in recruiting top-tier SaaS leaders and fractional consulting offers a game-changing perspective for scaling companies. His innovative approach connects startups with high-caliber talent, without the hefty costs of traditional leadership teams.

📉 In the clip: Rob and I dive deep into how AI and fractional teams are creating lean, agile startups that thrive on fewer resources. The trend is clear: more companies will shift toward smaller teams with AI at their core. Investors are taking note, focusing on smaller check sizes and better ROI, while large corporations face the pressure to adapt. 🚀

💡 In the full episode, we explore the rise of fractional consulting, where businesses can tap into top-level expertise without long-term commitments. Rob shares how AI is transforming this model, driving efficiency and productivity to new heights. We break down the pros and cons of fractional versus full-time hires and how companies can make the best use of this model to scale smartly in an AI-driven world.

✨ Final Thought: The future belongs to those who adapt. AI and fractional talent are reshaping the landscape—offering agility, efficiency, and growth without the usual risks. Embrace this shift, and watch your business thrive.
