The Stay Afloat
This monthly fee is designed to be affordable. My clients have told me they have benefitted tremendously from an ongoing connection which helps to hold them accountable, especially when the demands of the business try to sabotage us!
The monthly fee includes an initial 60 minute discovery phone or zoom session, where I can learn a little more about your business and what we can do to help. We’ll map out a plan and make a list of the topics and projects you’d like to focus on. It’s been my experience that usually one thing leads to another, and even the best laid plans have detours. Not to worry, this is how we small biz owners roll! The monthly fee also includes two one-hour phone sessions during the month and a couple of quick phone calls.
$295.00/month
Take a Deeper Dive
If you’d like to discuss how we can work together either on an hourly or per project basis, I am all ears!
We’ll start by gathering the essential info we need to understand your business and goals and then I will customize a proposal for moving forward. I am happy to work both remotely and in-person. For those in the Chicago area it’s easy, but if you are outside the Chicago area, I am happy to travel to your location. Travel and lodging will also be included in the project fee if the business is outside of the Chicago area.
My hourly fees range between $65.00-125.00/hour and projects are quoted after the scope of work is determined.
Some of the topics we have helped our clients with include the following:
Strategic planning
Sales training including lead generation, email and phone scripts etc.
Leadership training
Communication including group dynamics, facilitation and conflict resolution
Marketing including email, print and social media resources to build your brand and connect with your customers
HR issues including how to best communicate with your team and the creation of handbooks etc.
Financial Management including a review of current financials and recommendations for maximizing profits. We can also provide options for restructuring your chart of accounts for a more accurate picture of your business, industry benchmarks and resources for bookkeeping, loans and lines of credit
IT and software integration

If you are thinking about either starting up or growing your business, give me a call and we can talk about what’s on your mind. There is no obligation and there will be no pressure, I promise! If after chatting you think we may be a good fit for each other, then we can discuss next steps. Lots of flexibility in working together. You might opt for an hourly rate or a “per project fee” or perhaps my monthly maintenance option.
