The more clearly the business context and decision are understood, the less session time needs to be spent collecting basic information.

Normally scheduled on Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Sunday, subject to availability. Please book at least one week in advance. Requests for other days or shorter notice may be considered, subject to confirmation.

Consultation provides advice and direction. Implementation and ongoing management are separately scoped unless explicitly agreed.

Before the Session

Depending on the consultation type, you may be asked to share relevant context such as:

website
business activity
current marketing
important social channels
specific question
agency proposal
campaign information
relevant reports

Only information required for the discussion should be shared.

During the Consultation

The discussion may involve:

clarifying the business objective
understanding the present situation
identifying gaps and assumptions
examining possible directions
prioritising actions
identifying what should not be done yet

The objective is not to fill the session with advice. It is to arrive at better decisions.

After the Consultation

Depending on the matter, the recommended next step might be:

action by your own team
further analysis
a specialist
an agency
website or technical correction
advertising
SEO
another strategic session
no immediate additional expenditure

A sound consultation should be capable of recommending restraint when restraint is the sensible business decision.
