Your pipeline dies when you start delivering. Ken keeps it running.
You land the engagement. Delivery fills the calendar. Prospecting stops. Then the retainer ends and you are starting from zero.

Nothing sends until you approve.

Delivery crowds out selling. By the time the retainer ends, there is no pipeline left.
Solo and micro practices - fractional CMOs, ops consultants, fractional CTOs, HR advisors - are the product. There is no BD team. Most work still comes from network and client referrals, so when you stop posting and following up to deliver, next quarter is a scramble. Month-to-month retainers make losing one client a real income cliff. Ken is the second channel that keeps moving while you are heads-down: prospects that look like your last three clients, a written why on every lead, and a campaign you can inspect before anything leaves under your name.

Ken reacts while you are still on the client.
Not a hope pipeline. Real engagement on the founders and operators you already chose to message - timed to how advisory buyers actually buy.
Multi-click intent on offer pages and client results
A founder evaluating a fractional hire keeps opening the same case study or scope link between board prep and standups. Ken flags it so you strike while interest is hot, before the evaluation window closes.
Re-engage quiet prospects
A prospect mid-conversation about a fractional CMO or ops engagement went quiet - quarterly planning ate the calendar. Ken notices the stall and can re-engage with a light nudge, not a hard pitch into a dead thread.
Sort founder replies the moment they land
Sort “not now, we are mid-quarter” and “in a reorg” (timing) from real interest and hard nos. Mid-engagement timing objections are common with this buyer's calendar - Ken triages so real conversations reach you.
Qualified with a written why
Surface function-shaped reasons on your targets the way you already filter fit: “no CMO on LinkedIn,” “careers page active, no CHRO,” “engineering hiring language on site, no CTO.” Headcount, titles, site language - not funding theater.
Built for practices that cannot staff a BD seat.
1,000 of your real prospects - get early access or book a call.
Point Ken at companies that look like your last three clients. AI sources, qualifies with visible reasons, segments, writes, and quality-scores a full campaign in about 2 minutes. Nothing sends until you approve. Built for principals who bill and sell - not another sales-tool demo on the calendar.
Pipeline that keeps moving while you are heads-down.
You can either do the client work or find new clients - not both, if BD depends on your calendar. Ken runs the system side: list, reasons, sequences, quality - so discovery is not the only unpaid tax on your week, and next quarter is not a referral scramble when one engagement ends.
Your name is the firm. The email has to earn it.
You approve before anything sends. Copy is written from human frameworks plus each prospect's real LinkedIn and website background. Owned infrastructure and spam-filter pre-checks protect the brand - inbox placement moved from 32% to 89% in Ken's placement test; AI personalization lifted engagement 127% in our 500k-email study.
From ICP to a campaign you can inspect first.
Three steps. Nothing sends until you approve.
Describe who you want
Fractional CMO targets, ops buyers, product companies missing a CTO, people leaders at growing firms - paste your site or write the ICP in plain language. Confirm in under a minute.
Review the campaign
Ken sources matching prospects, attaches a qualification reason on each, segments them, and drafts sequences in your voice. Nothing leaves under your name until you approve.
Send and take the meetings
Start free and send from your own inboxes, or use Ken inboxes on Ken AI at $200/mo. Replies get sentiment-tagged so warm founder conversations reach you first - not inbox noise.
Frequently Asked Questions
What teams ask before running outbound for Consultants & Fractional Executives with Ken.
No. Start free with 1,000 credits, no card, or book a call. About 2 minutes to a campaign on 1,000 real prospects you can review. Ken AI is $200/mo when you want Ken inboxes and volume. Or have our team run it for you and pay per held meeting.
Spray-and-pray would. You approve every sequence before send. Copy is built from human frameworks and each prospect's real background, quality-scored, and sent on owned infrastructure - not a shared Instantly seat. Ken's personalization study showed +127% engagement; the placement test moved inbox placement from 32% to 89%.
Keep referrals. They are excellent closers and terrible clocks. Ken fills the gap between them so delivery season does not zero next quarter when one month-to-month engagement ends. Finding clients is already the top practice challenge for many fractionals - outbound is the channel that does not need your calendar.
LinkedIn profile and company website signals only: titles, seniority, headcount, industry, geography, years of experience, site language, missing functional leaders. No funding rounds, no private revenue databases - and we do not pretend otherwise. Same filters a careful fractional already uses.
Those tools help you find people. They do not build a full campaign, write per-prospect emails, quality-score them, or send on owned infrastructure. Sales Navigator Core alone is about $120/mo for search and InMails - still zero send stack. Ken is the engine after you know who to target.
No. This page is for consultants and fractional CMO, growth, ops, strategy, CTO, and HR practices. Fractional sales, revenue, and CRO leaders are a different motion and are not the ICP here.
High ACV is why quality email works if the meeting is the right one. One $25k project pays for years of Ken AI at $200/mo; one $8k/mo retainer month covers more than three years. You already pay more in unpaid discovery hours than in software. Ken's job is 1-2 right conversations, not vanity volume.
Ken AI is $200/mo with 200,000 sends a month included. On Free, or past the included sends, sending costs 25 credits ($0.50) per 1,000. Review the campaign first. One $25k engagement pays for ten years of Ken AI. Or have our team run it for you and pay per held meeting.
