How do we work together?
No need for surprises or secrets.
There are 5 steps to most consulting engagements with us.
Roadmapping
We’re going to get on Zoom and talk about your business. What you’re worried about or interested in. What you want to achieve. We’re going to learn about you. You will learn about us. And we’ll both have a chance to decide if we’re a fit for each other.
SWOT analysis
Driven by our initial conversation, we’ll deliver a SWOT analysis. We’ll work closely together to move this initial analysis to a final document.
The work
Based on the SWOT analysis and your desired outcome (you want a product launch strategy, or a review of your paid ads campaign) we’ll complete the work. And deliver the results to you in a Zoom presentation. The presentation is yours, and you can use it however you see fit (to train future staff, to show shareholders you’re busting your ass, etc…)
The document
Everything we do will be compiled in a final document. This is a written, actionable plan for you or your team to implement. It’s a step-by-step template showing what to do, when, why, and how.
Training
If your engagement with us results in an actionable strategy (ie - it’s not an audit of your external agency), a separate 90-minute training session will be done over Zoom with your marketing staff or agency. This will be recorded and given to your team for both review, and in case you need to on board new team members in the future or for other reasons you are not ready to kick-off the strategy internally.
In some cases we deviate from the workflow outlined above. Occasionally, we’re available for open-ended support and advice. We decide that collaboratively with consulting partners case-by-case.
We help B2B brands snag a lager share of the market and increase the reciprocal value in every customer interaction. Some of our friends include…
Here are some common situations we engage in.
A previous CMO/director left the company. To some people there’s a void, but to you, it’s an opportunity for positive change
There's a business owner. A sales director. But neither have the marketing or process expertise to overcome stagnating growth.
Significant attempts at growth have failed, with substantial cash and opportunity losses.
Cash was burned on failed marketing campaigns, expensive and underutilized SAAS apps, staff, and agencies.
There is a lack of clarity over the tangible impact of current or future marketing, leaving leadership unable to identify how to scale.
What's your situation?
