Drew Robins, FBS Consulting, Gold Coast. Serving manufacturers and B2B businesses across Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and nationally, with international clients across the UK and Europe.
Let’s Talk About Your Business
Book a complimentary 30-minute conversation. Tell me what’s happening in the business, what’s frustrating you, and what you’re trying to achieve. We’ll work out together whether there’s a problem worth solving, what might be causing it, and what the sensible next step looks like.
You don’t need to know whether that’s a Diagnostic, a Fractional COO, a Fractional CRO, or something else before you call. That’s what the conversation is for.
In that conversation I will:
✓ Understand what’s actually happening in your business
✓ Work out whether there’s a genuine problem worth solving
✓ Explore what the right next step looks like, whether that’s a Diagnostic, fractional leadership, or something else
✓ Give you clear direction either way, regardless of whether we work together
No obligation. No sales pressure. Just an honest conversation about your options.
I deliberately limit client numbers to protect the quality of every engagement. Get in touch to check current availability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during the complimentary conversation?
I spend 30 minutes understanding your specific situation, discussing whether fractional leadership makes sense, and exploring what outcomes are realistic. No obligation and no sales pressure, just an honest conversation about your options.
How quickly can you start if we decide to move forward?
Most engagements begin within 2–3 weeks of our initial conversation. Unlike a traditional executive hire, which typically takes 6–12 months, I deploy quickly with proven methodologies already built for businesses like yours.
Do you work with businesses outside the Gold Coast?
Yes. I work with Australian manufacturers and B2B companies nationally, and with international clients, particularly European companies entering the Australian market. Most engagements combine on-site visits with remote support.
What size businesses do you typically work with?
My ideal clients are businesses turning over $2M–$40M who are experiencing operational complexity, a revenue plateau, or preparing for significant growth or exit.
How much does fractional COO or CRO support cost?
Investment varies based on scope and duration. Typical 90-day transformation engagements range from $30K–$60K, while ongoing strategic advisory runs $5K–$15K per month. For context, a full-time executive hire costs $400K+ annually. A fractional consultant delivers comparable capability at a fraction of that commitment.
How many clients do you work with at once?
I deliberately limit client numbers to ensure focused attention and measurable results. Get in touch to discuss current availability and whether there’s a good fit.
