If you don’t see your answer here, reach out!
Can I do the course with my business partner or co-founder?
Section titled “Can I do the course with my business partner or co-founder?”Yes, that is absolutely the best way to do this. We can customize the 12-Week Program, or you may prefer a 2-day retreat format. Let’s chat about how to tailor the coaching for maximum value.
What is the format?
Section titled “What is the format?”Meetings are held via Google Meet.
Can we do the meetings in person?
Section titled “Can we do the meetings in person?”Yes, you have the option of a 2-day retreat format in Portland, Oregon, or I can come to you. Get in touch and we can discuss options.
Are sessions recorded?
Section titled “Are sessions recorded?”All meetings and conversations are strictly confidential and subject to a non-disclosure agreement.
I record the Structured Workshops for my own internal purposes (like improving my service), and may use AI tools to transcribe them. I will be happy to share the recordings and transcriptions with you for your internal use.
I do not record the Unstructured Workshops, Review Sessions, or Clarity Sessions as those are specific to you and your business. You may choose to record them for your own internal use.
Do I have to do The Foundation in two consecutive weeks?
Section titled “Do I have to do The Foundation in two consecutive weeks?”I’m a reasonable human and you’re my client, so I will absolutely work with you on scheduling.
For this to be successful, it is important to gain momentum early. If you don’t have bandwidth to prioritize this right now, it’s best to wait so you don’t burn your relationships by not following up.
Are there any pre-requisites or minimum qualifications?
Section titled “Are there any pre-requisites or minimum qualifications?”You should have at least five years of industry experience. If you’re looking to make a big move like going from academia to industry, or government to the private sector, let’s start with a Clarity Session. If you decide to move forward with Indivdiual Coaching, the cost of the Clarity Session will be applied to your program fees.
Do you only offer coaching on Business Development for B2B Professional Services?
Section titled “Do you only offer coaching on Business Development for B2B Professional Services?”Yes. I’m not the coach for you if you are working in the B2C space, because I don’t know that world and wouldn’t have much to offer. I recommend the book, Chill and Prosper by Denise Duffield-Thomas (and her amazing podcast).
If you are selling a product like software or other tech, that requires a different strategy. I recommend you check out Crossing the Chasm by Geoffrey A. Moore.
Can I hire you on an hourly basis instead of buying the whole program?
Section titled “Can I hire you on an hourly basis instead of buying the whole program?”Yes, you can do a package of 5 or 10 meetings, to be used within two months.
Can I pay for the 12-Week Program in installments?
Section titled “Can I pay for the 12-Week Program in installments?”Yes, you can split the payment into three installments.
- A non-refundable deposit of $1,500 is required to secure your start date.
- The first installment of $2,250 is due before we start week 1.
- The second installment of $2,250 is due before we start week 2.
Do you guarantee results?
Section titled “Do you guarantee results?”No, and I am skeptical of anyone who does. I’m not the one out there representing your business, you have to put in the work. But if you’re putting in the effort and getting nowhere, I will absolutely spend time with you trying to figure out what’s going wrong and how to fix it.
