SkillArbitrage
Consulting Growth Camp
SENIOR PROFESSIONALS · 45+
Firms stopped hiring executives. They started renting them.

Fractional and interim leadership has gone mainstream. Companies now bring in an experienced leader for two days a week, or for one project, instead of one more full-time hire. That is consulting work, and it runs on judgment like yours.

20 to 30 years of experience · any industry
We show you how to package your experience into a consulting offer and land your first retainer client in 6 months.
₹10 gets you all 3 days of the live growth camp.
Live online · 22 to 24 Aug · one ₹10 ticket
01
What the three days give you

This is a working camp. You leave with an offer written down, a price on it, a list of buyers and a plan to reach them.

01
How to package 20 plus years into one consulting offer
We take your actual career and cut it down to one problem you solve, for one kind of company, with a defined scope a buyer can say yes to. Vague experience does not sell. A named offer does.
02
How to price advice
Day rates, monthly retainers, per project fees and hourly consultations. Which model fits which engagement, how to quote it without discounting yourself, and how to raise the number on the second client.
03
Where the clients actually are
Fractional and interim marketplaces, expert networks, Indian platforms that place seasoned professionals, PE and VC portfolio companies, mid market firms without a full time CXO, and your own past employers, vendors and juniors.
04
The client getting plan
A week by week outreach routine you can run beside a job: your profile rewritten as an offer, a short list of target companies, a first message that gets replies, and how to run the first call so it ends in a scope and a fee.
05
Three live days with faculty
Live online sessions across 22, 23 and 24 August. You can ask your own questions about your own domain and get an answer in the room.
06
Notes and templates you keep
Session notes, the offer sheet, the pricing worksheet, the outreach message set and the first call script. Yours after the camp.
07
A WhatsApp group of senior professionals
The other people in the room are 45 plus with decades behind them. Referrals between senior consultants are one of the most common ways this work arrives.
08
Certificate of participation
Issued by SkillArbitrage after the camp.
02
How a rented executive engagement actually works
1
A company has a gap it cannot justify filling full time
A growing firm needs a CFO's judgment on fundraising and controls, but not a CFO's salary. A manufacturer needs someone who has run a plant to fix throughput for one quarter.
2
They buy a slice of a senior person instead
Two days a month, one day a week, or a fixed project. The engagement is scoped, priced and reviewed. You are paid for judgment, not for hours at a desk.
3
Good work turns into a retainer, and retainers stack
The first project is the audition. Once a company trusts you, the arrangement becomes monthly, and a practice is two or three of those running at the same time.
The market doing the renting
60,000 to 120,000
Fractional and interim leaders worldwide doubled in two years, from 60,000 in 2022 to 120,000 in 2024.
30% by 2027
Gartner expects more than 30% of midsize enterprises to keep at least one fractional executive on retainer by 2027. Reported demand rose 46% year on year, and 72% of CEOs plan to increase fractional use over the next twelve months.
$5.7 billion
Size of the global fractional executive market, growing around 14% a year. UK fractional day rates run £800 to £1,500.
17,000
Professionals in India who now describe themselves as fractional executives on LinkedIn.

What this kind of work pays

These are published market rates for the work you are learning to sell. They are anchors, not a quote.

$1,500 to $4,000 a day
Advisory day rates, 2026 benchmarks.
$8,000 to $18,000 a month
Fractional CFO retainers.
69.5% charge $5,000 to $10,000
Share of fractional executives billing in that band, per client, per month.
$213 an hour on average
Average rate reported by fractional leaders. 52.8% clear $100,000 a year.
The trajectory we teach: one paid project, then a repeat engagement with the same company, then a monthly retainer, then a second and third retainer running alongside. That sequence is the practice. The camp gives you the offer, the price and the outreach plan that start it.

What any one person earns depends on their domain, their clients and the work they put in.

Questions
Do I need to leave my job?
No. Most people start beside a full time role, with a few hours a week on one client.
My industry is not finance or tech. Does this still apply?
Yes. Operations, manufacturing, supply chain, sales, HR, quality, projects and compliance all have buyers. The camp works on your domain.
Is this only for people who want to work with foreign companies?
No. Indian companies and global clients are both covered, and the outreach plan works for both.
What happens after 24 August?
You keep the notes, the templates and the WhatsApp group, and you run the outreach plan on your own list.
How much time do the three days take?
Live sessions across 22, 23 and 24 August. Timings are shared by email and on WhatsApp after you register.
