Foundation
A 90-day operating plan built from your intake capacity, payer mix, and location map - or, for software companies, from pipeline targets and CAC payback - deciding which nodes run first, which wait, and what each is expected to return.
Growing an ABA practice in New Mexico is usually a capacity problem that looks like a marketing problem: high unmet demand, uncapped commercial coverage, and clinical pay near the national average. A fractional CMO owns the plan, budget, and vendors - and decides which levers New Mexico actually rewards.
Open marketMarket data updated April 2026With families waiting 9–12+ months, New Mexico rarely lacks demand. The first call is how much to fund marketing at all versus clinical hiring - generating inquiries you can't staff burns budget and reputation.
No annual cap under H.B. 82 (2013) makes commercial caseload revenue predictable, so acquisition cost can be planned against lifetime value with confidence.
Clinical pay runs near the national average (BCBA ≈ $71,037, RBT ≈ $16.53/hr), with moderate competition for staff. Recruiting marketing gets its own line in the budget - in most New Mexico practices it unlocks more revenue than another family-acquisition channel.
New Mexico doesn't separately license behavior analysts, which lowers the bar for competitors to enter. Brand, reputation, and clinical-credential messaging carry more weight in the plan as a result.

Ownership of the marketing budget and every vendor in it: agencies, freelancers, platforms, and in-house hires held to one roadmap and one definition of a qualified inquiry.
A weekly operating cadence with your leadership team - priorities, blockers, hiring and vendor decisions - so marketing moves at the speed of the business, not the retainer calendar.
One scoreboard: pipeline, cost per qualified inquiry, intake or demo conversion, and payer-eligible volume, reported monthly to owners, boards, or investors in language they can act on.
When the problem is ownership, not execution: several vendors, no single plan, and nobody accountable for cost per qualified inquiry. A fractional CMO sets the New Mexico roadmap and budget, manages the agencies and in-house team, and reports one scoreboard to owners or investors.
Capacity before demand. With families waiting 9–12+ months, the first 90 days usually go to recruiting, intake conversion, and payer mix - not new demand generation.
No. The work runs on a weekly operating cadence with your leadership team over video, plus monthly scoreboard reviews. What matters is category fluency - authorizations, BCBA capacity, payer language, BACB credentialing - not proximity.
Each one reads the same New Mexico numbers through a different discipline.
Multi-state groups rarely run one market. The same service, read against nearby West states.
