What Will You Be Like to Work With?

Any established consultant with a good reputation will tell you that being selective of who you commit your time, resources and experience to is simply a wise business decision. For one-person shops like mine that pride themselves on personalized customer support, doing so is a necessary time management and customer service quality issue. I only have so much time in a day!

I am here to help those who are willing to make the appropriate efforts and investment in their online business to ensure their success. If a client wants to know what is involved and be challenged to become the onliner they need to be to thrive online — I’m their gal.

Nothing less than a candid initial discussion about each side’s expectations will do. For those who do not like, choose to argue about, disregard or minimize the reality and truth of what will be involved for them to reach their stated goals, to me, that is a red flag. That red flag puts one of those thought bubbles over my head that says “Then, why are you talking to me and wasting both of our time?”

Impressing a potential partner when contacting them with your inquiry will help them separate the wheat from the chaff. For example, cryptic one sentence “inquiries” do not reflect that your project has potential worth perusing. However, by communicating in a courteous and respectful manner, this lets likely partners on both sides know what it will be like to work together.

Be open to partners who want to know that you are serious, that you are committed to your own success, that take the time to clarify inaccurate perceptions so that you have at the very least a basic understanding of what is involved from both cost and time requirements. Those who reflect this level of concern to you before any money is exchanged are those most likely to help you get to where you want to go.

At your service,
