The most important questions are the ones you don’t even know need asking.

You don’t rely on your bookkeeper or A/R manager to develop your financial strategies, do you? No, you have a CFO or CPA.

So why do you rely on your web designer, developer, or marketing manager for high level strategy that affects your entire business?

Here’s the problem: they may be great at their job, but none of them have the multidisciplinary expertise to base your future on.

Your own Chief Strategy Officer for a day +4 weeks!

The multidisciplinary C-level expertise you’re missing, all yours for one day (+ 4 weeks embedded in your business!).

Limited to 1 client slot per month.

You need a trusted advisor with deep web & big picture business experience.

It’s about investing NOW to avoid losing much, much more in time and money. It’s about the big picture, analyzing where you are and where you want to be, and getting professional strategic advice to bridge the gap.

With 33 years of entrepreneurial experience and 27 years of internet business experience, I can – and will – explain things in a way you understand, so you can make informed decisions. Since starting my web & business strategy company in 1996 I’ve helped hundreds of clients. I know I can help you!

No gobbledygook, guaranteed.

 What to Expect:

10x your investment with the expertise you’re missing!

CSO For a Day starts out with a 1-hour consult to help me prepare for your day. We’ll talk about where you currently are vs. where you want to be, who your competitors are, and any specific issues you’re concerned about. Then I go to work researching.

On your big day* I’ll spend up to 6 hours with you. We’ll dive into how you can reach your short term & long term goals, covering things like:

  • High level look at your entire business, missing pieces, and problem areas.
  • Analyzing where you are, where you want to be, and how you can close the gap.
  • Concrete strategy & actionable advice for how you can reach the goals important to you (e.g. new revenue streams, recurring revenues, increase business value to sell, scale without hiring, work less without sacrificing income, turn expenses into profits) and how you can leverage the web to do it.
  • Increase profits and make your business easier to run while you own it, and more valuable & likely to sell when you’re ready.
  • Identifying opportunities & challenges, and how you can begin to exploit & overcome them NOW.
  • Looking at not just marketing, but also how you can use the web to improve efficiency in operations.

AND for the next 4 weeks I’ll be embedded in your business:

  • unlimited Zoom calls: followups to address questions & your plans for execution, meeting with you & strategic partners, bridging the digital divide between you & vendors, etc.
  • PLUS unlimited access to me via phone, email, text, and Voxer.

I promise NO GOBBLEDYGOOK:

No throwing around industry buzzwords, no talking down to you. Just straight talk from someone who understands where you’re coming from. You’ll come away with your own strategic No Gobbledygook™ plan of action to reach both short term & long term goals.

*This is a virtual engagement. I’m available onsite for an additional charge + travel expenses.

For entrepreneurs who are serious about transforming their business and need C-level professional advice on using the web & strategy to reach your goals.

  •  What: 1-hour initial consult followed by up to 6 hours one-on-one with me after I’ve prepared. Then, for the next 4 weeks I’m embedded in your business: you get
    • unlimited Zoom calls (followups to address questions & your plans for execution, meeting with you & strategic partners, bridging the digital divide between you & vendors, etc.), and
    • unlimited access to me via phone, email, text, and Voxer.
  • Why: To clarify & prioritize your goals and develop a plan for how you can reach them, using everyday language rather than gobbledygook..
  • How: Book the initial consult and pay a 10% deposit for your CSO For a Day. I’ll send you a Zoom link for the initial consult, the consult agreement, and info to pay the remaining balance before the initial consult. During the initial consult I’ll get an overview of your situation and gather info to help me prepare for the CSO consult, and we’ll decide on the best day for that. This is a virtual engagement.
