Impossible. Possible. Probable.
Sales turnarounds have a shorter timeline than transformations. Something is actively broken. The board wants a plan in 60 days and a lift in 120. Most consulting engagements run on a 9-month clock. That math doesn't work here.
Turnaround situations get misdiagnosed. Leadership assumes it's a people problem. 'Clear out the underperformers.' That rarely fixes it — because the people problem is usually downstream of a process problem that the same kind of people would hit again.
BOOST turnaround engagements are built for 90-120 day windows. Diagnose the real cause in week one. Stabilize the pipeline in weeks 2-6. Install the durable fixes in weeks 7-12. Fast, structured, measurable.

Both models available. Some clients want John as interim CSO owning the motion; others keep their CSO and use John as strategic counsel. The scope is decided on the free call.
Common and usually addressable. Most resistance comes from fear of having the rug pulled. Early engagement with sales leadership, clear wins in the first 60 days, and a shared scorecard handle most of it. Genuine mismatches we flag early.
No. Turnaround is one use case. The other — and often bigger — is companies scaling through a transition: post-Series B, post-acquisition, post-pivot. Growth breaks process; transformation prevents that break.
