How It Works
The Process
Explore the steps involved in securing services, from the initial consultation to the contracted partnership.
Initial Consultation
Our first step is to understand your need(s). The consultation is free and provides the framing for expectations, deliverables, and what our overall partnership will entail in depth and duration. The consultation process is different for each type of service, but at the center of each consultation is my focus on your needs and desired outcome.
One Size Doesn't Fit All! Everything is Tailored to Your Request
Benefit from tailored service that focuses on your desired outcome. This really focuses on the scope of work, duration, costs, expectations, metric indicators of progress, etc. Sometimes people struggle with this part of the experience and I help foster clarity and manageable dynamics where necessary. For those who are clear about their needs, scope of work, and budget, we establish a start date and get right to work!
360-Degree Feedback & Growth
Check-ins and other perks are value-added ways I engage in rapport building. Feedback is appreciated and utilized to ensure that clients are happy with their experience. In many instances, retainers and requests for additional services are common occurrences. I always enjoy working with clients through longstanding productive professional relationships.
