Welcome, fellow traveler!

You are among the select few who have been granted access to the (for now) super-secret Hire the Communicatrix page, where you get the skinny on how we can work together to make your shiny, special-snowflake passion known to the world in its full brilliance.

So…how can you help me, o communicatrix?

Glad you asked. I offer a conveniently limited range of ways you can hire out my services to help you focus on your unique marketing, branding or other communications-related conundrum. (Hey, you’ve got other things on your mind, right?)

The first way is a full-Monty, marketing landscape diagnostic and RX.

This is an expanded version of what I do in my social media marketing workshops when I examine someone’s marketing universe (or, sometimes, lack thereof), help them to see what’s working and what’s not given their own, particular goals, and give them a prescription for moving forward.

It’s highly personalized, very in-depth and occasionally, a bit overwhelming. In a good way. You will come out of it with a much, much clearer view of yourself the way the world sees you, and a simple (not to be confused with work-free) prescription for cleaning up your marketing act and making it shine.

Most people also come out of it with excitement and enthusiasm about moving forward. Let us not discount that.

In your diagnostic, we cover stuff like…

• your website and/or blog
• your social networking presence (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.)
• your visual identity
• your bio and about page language
• whatever the hell else makes up your universe

There is homework before. There is (up to) an hour of us yakking on the phone. There is typically a LOT of work for you to do afterward. Enough, in fact, to keep you busy without needing any additional input or help from me for some time, maybe ever. (Although I hope you’ll stay in touch!)

This is by design. I want you to move forward on your own steam, either ready to tackle your marketing universe by yourself or sufficiently empowered to select the right web designer, copywriter, coach, etc. to help you. Or some combination thereof.

Yes, I still take on a VERY few design projects. But even if we decide to work together that way, the full-Monty consult is a precondition of our working together, so there you are.

One more small item: regretfully—because they pay really, really well—I cannot take on any copywriting jobs at this time. As part of your own, personal full-Monty, we may look at your copy and I may even edit a line or two to give you a handle on what’s what, but don’t think you’re gonna sneak some copywriting job in there. Not gonna happen. I have ferocious copywriter radar. Cool?

So…

The full-Monty, marketing landscape diagnostic and RX costs $250. (For now!)

If you want it, you click the big, horsey “initial consult” button below to make a secure payment via PayPal. Once you’re paid up, you’ll get an email from me with your homework and some available times a minimum of one week out. Email me back your preferred time immediately; I’ll email back to confirm within 24 hours. Take your time with the homework, but be sure to email it back to me so that I have enough time to review your stuff—a minimum of two working days.

At our appointed time, call me at (323) 634-9930. Be ready to take notes. You’re welcome to tape our conversation if you like, to use for your own purposes. It’s good to be at your computer with your Internet connection on, so we can talk through stuff while we’re looking at it together.

A few notes:

• While I have lots of old-skool, Big Girl Pants marketing experience, this package is for solopreneurs—one-person small businesses—and people who are working for other companies but trying to establish their own thang—a side business, a dream, an idea, a passion. There are lots of old-skool, Big Girl Pants consultants out there to take care of bigger businesses; they’re set up for it and charge accordingly. Me? I’m about the personal fabulosity. If you’re a very tight two-person shop, I may take you on, but you need to be united in your outlook. I’m the communicatrix, not the mediatrix.
• If, after reviewing your homework, I think your situation isn’t something I can really be helpful with, I refund your money zippity-zip. We walk away friends, I delete your materials, no harm, no foul. It hasn’t happened yet, but I need to leave myself an out, just in case.
• What happens with the communicatrix stays with the communicatrix. I don’t talk about your stuff with anyone else. If I think your case is really, really compelling and a lot of people could learn from it, I may ask your permission to use you as a case study in one of my workshops. But that is strictly an opt-in type of thing.
