Business consultant for hire

Small businesses don’t always like to bring in the big guns. And that’s fine by me, I prefer a more nimble, more personal approach anyway. If you need help but aren’t entirely sure what kind or where to start, I’ll start with a completely blank page. I’ll look at the present, the future, your ideal customer expectations, and the competitive landscape. Armed with those insights we can begin to build a strategy and create a competitive advantage.

Strategic consulting

Perfect for businesses seeking a new direction.

You’re done with throwing mud at the wall and seeing what sticks. Now you know where you want to be, but you’re unsure about taking those first steps to get there. So why not sound it out with someone impartial.

Does this sound familiar?

  • Your business has outgrown your brand, so you want a rebrand to take things to the next level.
  • Your website is not really hitting the mark, you want an unbiased opinion before launching a new one.
  • You’re living in overwhelm because you’ve got so many ideas, but no idea how to implement them.
  • You have a great new product or service, but are not sure how to promote it.
  • You need a marketing plan, or just a better understanding of the landscape you’re operating in.

Next steps

We'll get to know each other with a free tissue meeting. If you think I can help you, I'll ask you to commit to a strategic consulting session. The WWS session will be tailored to your unique situation. And at the end of it, you'll have a clearer direction and actionable strategies to go forth and do great things.

Your strategic consulting session will include

  • An honest review of your brand or website

    I’ll share my suggestions for what you need to do, think about or change to make your brand or business more effectively aligned to who you want to sell to.

  • 90-minute live or online session or online

    Together we’ll examine your processes or user journey to uncover any opportunities hidden within them. We'll then reverse engineer a plan of action.

Before we start there will be some homework. I'll send you a questionnaire to gain as much information as possible so we're making the most of your live session.
