Here’s How It Works

Individual Custom Proposal — for Solopreneurs and Small Businesses

Whether you’re a sole proprietor or small company, we’ll meet to discuss your current online presence and marketing approach, your prospect list, and your desired growth plans. For most solos, we’ll proceed as described in Find a Great Job under “Here’s How It Works.”

For a deeper marketing dive, you’ll provide names of companies and industries of interest. Heather will identify appropriate titles for networking where she has existing connections. A plan for frequency and amount of new business outreach will be created. A proposal including referral fees will be agreed upon by you prior to further activity.

Once introductions have been made, you’ll follow up with Heather’s contacts on your own. We’ll also talk about how print or email campaigns, website updates, and/or social media activity could simultaneously warm up awareness.

Let’s devise a plan!

Group Marketing Session — for a Contingent of Entrepreneurs
