How we work together

Two ways to engage

Whether you need embedded leadership or a focused sprint, J3 structures around what actually moves the needle for your business.

Fractional Leadership

Embedded VP-level revenue leadership

Ongoing strategic and operational support — a senior revenue partner without the full-time cost. Ideal for early-stage companies building their GTM foundation or scaling through their first growth phase.

Typically 2–3 days/week · 3–6 month engagements · Includes team coaching

Project Work

Focused engagements with clear deliverables

Scoped projects to build a specific asset, solve a defined challenge, or run a structured diagnostic. You get a senior perspective applied to a specific problem, with a clear output at the end.

4–12 week sprints · Fixed scope · Documented deliverables

What J3 delivers

End-to-end revenue and GTM expertise, applied where your business needs it most.

Go-to-Market Strategy

ICP definition, channel strategy, messaging architecture, and launch sequencing. Build a GTM motion that creates pipeline efficiently — not just activity.

Positioning & Messaging

Market segmentation, value proposition design, and competitive differentiation. Ensure your sales team always knows exactly who they're selling to and why it matters.

Sales Playbooks

Structured discovery frameworks, objection handling, qualification standards, and deal review cadences — so every rep executes with consistency and conviction.

Sales Operations

CRM architecture (Salesforce and beyond), pipeline governance, forecasting infrastructure, and KPI dashboards that give leadership real visibility into revenue health.

Process Optimization

Diagnose and fix the friction points that slow down conversion: handoffs, qualification gaps, deal review rigor, and activity metrics that connect to outcomes.

Structuring for Scale

Team design, role clarity, hiring profiles, compensation structures, and management systems — built to take a scrappy early team and make it a repeatable growth engine.

Startup Advisory

Strategic counsel for founders navigating their first commercial hires, early enterprise deals, or the transition from founder-led sales to a scalable organization.

Julio Bañados, MBA

I've spent 15+ years building and leading revenue organizations across SaaS, EdTech, and global education — as a founder, operator, and advisor. I've carried bags, coached managers, redesigned compensation structures, and built CRM playbooks. I know where the bodies are buried at every stage of commercial growth.

J3 Consulting exists for the companies that need senior GTM leadership now — not six months from now when they can afford the full-time hire. I work with a small number of clients at a time so the engagement is actually substantive.

Let's talk about what you're building.

If you're navigating an early GTM motion, a scaling challenge, or a specific revenue problem — a short conversation is usually enough to figure out whether there's a fit.
