Let's Talk about YOU

What You Can Expect

A relaxed (but professional) 30-minute long video call. We get to know each other and our respective businesses, and discuss how we can help each other succeed.

 
The agenda is short and simple. Tell me about you and your business. I share with you my thoughts of where Why Marketing can help and how, along with a suggested budget. 

How do you get the most of your 30 minutes?

Be prepared.

Tell me what your business does, what it does well, and not so well. That last part is really hard to answer and does require thought – but it’s very important to identify gaps that need to be addressed. 

For example, think about your marketing efforts, sales and pricing. Where can you do better?
