Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I welcome my prospective client with a 45-minute complementary meeting to learn about her challenges and opportunities and see to if we are a good fit. If we decide to work together I send a Welcome Packet that includes a series of pre-work documents. Our first meeting is a review of these documents when we set the goals for our work together and metrics for success. We then meet bi-weekly.
