How I work:
The first step in getting started includes a one hour complimentary session for me to fully assess that we are a fit through understanding fully where you are and where you wish to go. I will review the product, the challenges the business is facing, a high level look at your goals and the basic business model.
If we decide we are a fit, then the real work will begin. The first step will be for you to fill out an in-depth questionnaire that will allow me to fully understand what is at play within your business.
