- Our working relationship begins with your query via phone or email.
- This is followed by a phone consultation to discuss your project and general timelines, estimated fees, and payment terms.
- If we agree to go forward, you download our Preliminary Project Query (PPQ) below, which includes our Contract.
- You return the signed Contract and completed PPQ and then I send you an Invoice for the deposit, which is 50% of the estimated fee for your project.
- Upon receipt of your deposit, we begin work on your project, scheduling initial zoom meetings and compiling resources.
- IMPORTANT! Work on your project begins with your signed contract and deposit by PayPal.
Our Second Consultation
After we receive your Contract, Preliminary Project Query and Deposit, we send you our Marketing Profile Survey (MPS) form requesting information about your project, product, business, customer and content resources.
After I've had a chance to review your completed Marketing Profile Survey, we schedule a second meeting to discuss the details of your project, arrange for materials and tentative schedules. We will then prepare a Scope of Work Summary (SWS) to confirm the project details.
Deliverables and Schedules
Please review our contract for specific details.
Feedback, Testimonials and Referrals
It is our practice to send our Clients a form requesting feedback and testimonials while the project is drawing to a close. We use this input to improve our procedures, develop new services and/or in our marketing material. Completing the form is voluntary. We also enjoy thanking our Clients for referrals they choose to send our way.
