A PivotLab Playbook
From Corporate to Cash
How senior corporate experience becomes $10K to $25K consulting clients. In 60 days, not 6 months.
The honest diagnosis
Your expertise is yours. The distribution channel is borrowed.
Inside a company, your expertise has a built-in path to problems, meetings, budgets, and decisions. The skill is yours. The channel is borrowed. The day you leave, by choice or otherwise, it goes back. Job seekers look for another employer to lend them a new one. Consultants build a channel they actually own.
02
The invisible value problem
What feels like a normal Tuesday to you is worth $10,000 to $25,000 a month to the right client. You just cannot see it from the inside.
03
The vague offer problem
"Strategy consulting" does not sell. Specific problems, specific buyers, and specific outcomes do.
04
The pipeline problem
You do not need a massive audience. You need a usable list, a clear message, and a follow-up system you actually run.
The market math
One client changes everything.
Fractional and project-based experts are often cheaper, faster, and lower-risk than full-time senior hires. Companies are paying for outcomes, not headcount. One signed retainer covers the bundle and your first quarter.
$10K to $25K
Fractional CFO / per month
$8K to $20K
Fractional CMO / per month
$15K to $35K
Fractional CTO / per month
$300 to $750
Independent strategy consultant / per hour
One client. One yes.
The bundle pays for itself before the discovery call ends. From there, every retainer is margin. The system is designed to land that first yes inside 60 days.
Inside the playbook
Nine chapters. Seven named frameworks. Zero filler.
The 100-page playbook moves from identity and positioning to pipeline, AI workflows, scaling, and a daily content system you can actually maintain.

Early reader feedback
Built and tested with senior operators.
The Niche Selection Matrix was honestly the thing that got me unstuck. I had been going back and forth between three different directions for months and kept finding reasons not to pick one. This made it a lot easier to actually look at the options clearly and decide without overthinking everything.
I've read a bunch of books and guides about going independent, but most of them felt way too vague to be useful. This was the first one that actually gave me things I could use right away. The contracts, scripts, and roadmap made it feel way less overwhelming. It honestly felt like someone had already figured out the hard parts and just laid it out for me.
What I liked most was that it wasn't full of fluff. It was just practical and easy to follow, which is exactly what I needed. I was tired of reading advice that sounded good but didn't really help me do anything. This gave me a clearer way to think about things and actually move forward.
I was at the point where I knew I needed to make a move, but I kept hesitating because I didn't want to choose wrong. This helped me stop overthinking and just commit. It gave me enough clarity to move forward without feeling like I was guessing the whole time.
Choose your starting point
The book is the what. The toolkit is the how.
If you are still asking whether a senior corporate operator can actually build this kind of practice, start with the book. By the end of Chapter 3 you will know whether this is for you, and what the real path would look like if you committed.
If you are past that question and into "where do I start tomorrow," the toolkit is what saves you the four to six weeks it would take to build the working files yourself. Calculators, scripts, contracts, AI prompts, trackers, and operating documents, all done. Same destination either way. Different starting line.
The Playbook
The complete strategy in book form. Everything you need to build the practice yourself.

Why this exists
Frameworks first. Personality last.
The Pivot Lab builds systems for senior professionals who are done waiting for permission. The book is the hero. The frameworks are tested. The author stays out of the way.
Who it is for
If any of these is you, the system was built for you.
Recently laid-off executives
You need a path that does not depend on another six-month search.
Corporate leaders planning an exit
Still employed, but you want the structure ready before you actually need it.
VPs, directors, senior managers
Finance, marketing, legal, operations, tech, strategy, and similar fields where expensive problems need experienced operators.
Early independent consultants
You have clients or conversations, but pricing, pipeline, contracts, and delivery are still improvised.
Common questions
Before you decide.
Is this just an ebook?
No. The book is the strategy layer. The bundle includes the playbook plus 50 implementation assets: calculators, scripts, trackers, templates, contracts, AI prompts, and operating documents.
Why "in 60 days"? Is that realistic?
For senior operators who already have a network and a track record, 60 days is the realistic window for a defined niche, a working pipeline, a discovery call calendar, and a first signed engagement. The 60 Day Execution Roadmap exists because that is what the timeline actually looks like when the work is sequenced correctly. The full 90 days extends to onboarding the second client and stabilizing a $20K to $50K monthly run-rate.
What is the actual difference between the book and the bundle?
The book teaches the system. The bundle gives you the working files to run it. If you only have one weekend to act, the bundle saves you weeks of building documents that already exist in the toolkit.
If I buy the book first, can I still get the toolkit later?
Yes. Book buyers can add the toolkit for $50 within 7 days, bringing the total to $79. The upgrade link arrives with your book download.
Do I need a website or audience before using it?
No. The system starts with positioning, a Warm 50 list, direct outreach, discovery calls, and a clear offer. A website can come later, and the book tells you when.
Are the legal templates legal advice?
No. The templates are practical starting points and should be reviewed by a qualified attorney for your specific situation and jurisdiction.
What format do I receive?
Digital files only. The book is a PDF. The toolkit includes PDFs, DOCX, XLSX, and one Markdown prompt library. Everything is delivered as a single download immediately after checkout.
What is the refund policy?
14-day money-back guarantee. If you use the book or the toolkit for 14 days and it does not deliver a clearer niche, a usable pipeline, or a contract you can adapt, email us and we refund the full purchase. No questions, no forms.
Will this work outside the US?
The frameworks are jurisdiction-agnostic. The pricing references are anchored in USD because that is where most fractional roles publish rates, but the positioning, pipeline, and delivery systems work in any market with a senior professional class. Adapt the legal templates locally.
Bottom line
Your expertise already exists. Build the system around it.
From Corporate to Cash gives you the positioning, pricing, pipeline, delivery, AI workflow, and operating assets to turn senior corporate experience into $10K to $25K consulting clients in 60 days.
