Most companies hire one between $2M and $20M in revenue, when the founder still closes most deals, the first reps are missing quota or the forecast keeps slipping. Published fractional CRO retainers start around $6,000 to $7,000 a month and run to $20,000 or more; $8,000 to $15,000 is common, and some deals add a bonus on new revenue.
