Fractional CRO and revenue operations consulting for service-based small and mid-sized businesses ready to outpace the competition and win.
A small, senior team of strategists, consultants, and revenue operators — helping service-based SMBs break through their revenue ceiling.
We're a team of strategists, consultants, data nerds, artists, and revenue operators — working exclusively with business leaders who struggle to achieve sustainable revenue growth and lack the operational efficiencies to scale.
Krista Hollingsworth founded HelpUGrow CRO on a simple thesis: most service-based businesses don't have a sales problem — they have a revenue operations problem. We fix that with strategy first, systems that align sales, marketing and customer success, and fractional leadership when you need senior horsepower without the six-figure salary.
We'll drop in the same rotating process circle used on the Windshore Media site. Every project moves through the same five steps — and they'll live right here, on the homepage, no clicking through.
Hire us for the full Fractional CRO engagement, or pick a single project. Either way, we work shoulder-to-shoulder with your leadership team — not from a deck across the boardroom.
Strategic CRO leadership for the executive who needs senior horsepower without the six-figure hire.
A part-time Chief Revenue Officer who owns the growth strategy and builds you a system your team can run.
Defined-scope engagements with a fixed deliverable and a fixed timeline — GTM, sales builds, retention programs.
A focused review of your offers, pipeline, and performance — leave with a clear picture of what's driving (or blocking) growth.
From software spin-outs to family-owned services businesses, we've helped teams across more than a dozen industries break through their revenue ceilings. Here are a few we've enjoyed working with.
After acquiring the division from Viatel Technologies in 2024, Treaty Software needed to launch fast and with a fresh face. New brand, website, GTM strategy, and an ongoing CRO consulting relationship.
Built the marketing program to align with their sales initiatives. Multi-location, multi-million-dollar growth story — we continue to provide CRO consulting and marketing support.
Big-money competitors were flooding the market with subpar services and driving prices down. We built a client-retention strategy and repositioned the messaging to sell on value instead.
HR Plus had built a great reputation — but inconsistent sales, sticker-shock pricing, and unclear workflows were holding them back. We re-engineered the sales process and pricing model. Cash flow stabilized, clients got happier.
A small slice of the businesses we've helped grow over the past two decades. Service-based, growth-minded, and tired of guessing.
Numbers tell part of the story. The rest is in the leadership texts after the first quarterly review when the pipeline finally looks the way it should.
A founder-led tech services firm hadn't won a new client in nearly a decade. We implemented the Revenue Operations, Illuminated™ framework — built sales processes, realigned resources, and shipped a unique methodology to win more business.
Built differentiated managed-services plans and ran strategic digital campaigns to support an aggressive sales push. The trajectory says market leader within a few years — they're growing fast.
Stepped in when the owner unexpectedly passed away — stabilized operations, rebuilt vendor structure, and reignited growth. 180 days later: a 10% topline lift, new clients, and a healthy quarterly business review cadence.
Eight quotes from the leaders we've worked with — most of them sent unprompted, usually after the first quarter when the strategy starts to compound.
We hired Krista because we were re-launching our family business under a new brand. She helped us create a go-to-market strategy that elevated our brand and helped us win business with Fortune 50 companies. She is a fantastic resource and continues to be an asset to our rapidly growing business.
We first engaged Krista as Fractional VP of Sales & Marketing in 2016. In 2019, she joined our team as full-time CRO and produced fantastic results, helping more than triple our top line revenue. She will be an asset to any SMB who chooses to work with her.
Working with K. Hollingsworth Consulting has been a game-changer for Human Resource Plus. In just a few months, they helped us move from project-based billing to recurring revenue — which stabilized cash flow and made our clients happier with consistent support.
We engaged K. Hollingsworth Consulting to build a client retention strategy. Krista helped us create a sales strategy that highlighted our true value proposition — positioning us to win business on value, not price.
In the early days of Treaty Software — when our vision was still being shaped — we were lucky to have Krista in our corner. She brought clarity, creativity, and a deep understanding of how to turn ideas into action.
Krista has helped us develop and streamline sales processes on several client projects. Her determination and focus on helping clients grow topline revenue and build shareholder value makes her a terrific strategic partner.
I worked with Krista for nearly 8 years at West Coast Equipment. Because she had a deep understanding of our business and objectives, she helped us create a winning online strategy that integrated with our in-house operations and boosted sales.
Working with K. Hollingsworth Consulting gave us the strategy and support we needed during a critical transition. The results speak for themselves.
