Get to the next level
Many of my clients find that an hour or less of personal consultation answers their immediate questions. Usually prior to our consultation I'll ask you to send me your demo package, so that I can understand where you're coming from before we talk about where you want to go.
You do not pay for the time I spend listening to your demo or analyzing your press kit. You only pay for the time I personally consult with you, one on one.
