One real situation.
We start with your question, its context and the information already available.
Ongoing 1:1 business work
One-on-one business coaching, every two weeks.
Develop a specific business move together, put it into practice, then use the following session to adjust from what happened. Here is how the relationship works, from the first month to the work between sessions.
Meet virtually with Stan. You choose what to pursue and carry the action into your business.
$1,500/month. Every two weeks. Month to month.
Your first month
What happens in your first month?
Begin with what you want to develop and the situation in your company. We work through the options, what customers might value, and the costs, people and time each approach would need.
Together, we choose an action you can take before the next session and the response that would help you decide whether to continue or change direction.
At the following session, we examine what happened and develop the next step from what you learned.
How the work moves
From a business question to action and adjustment.
The conversation connects your idea to the realities of your company. We can consider customers, money, people, timing and your own priorities together.
Develop and compare the options.
Consider the economics, resources and assumptions behind each possible move.
Choose an action you can take.
You decide and put the move into practice in your business.
We start with what happened.
Use the response to refine the idea, change direction or choose the next action.
Examples of the work
An offer, a growth move or how the work gets done.
These are examples within the same one-on-one relationship, rather than packages or a fixed programme.
Give a decision a clear owner.
Work through who can decide, what they need and which exceptions should return to you.
Develop an offer or price change.
Compare what customers would value with the price, cost and delivery capacity each option requires.
Choose a practical growth move.
Consider a new customer group, channel or opportunity against your resources and what you can test next.
An example of working together
From a one-off purchase to a reason to come back.
Suppose customers value what you sell, but each sale starts again from zero. If their need continues, there may be a useful next purchase you could offer. We can develop that possibility together.
Explore the continuing need, who has it and what would make another purchase useful. A repeat offer has to earn its place in the customer’s life or business.
Compare scope, price, delivery cost and capacity. Consider what you could reliably provide and whether the work would be worth doing.
Choose an offer you can discuss with suitable customers. At the following session, use their response to improve it, pursue a different option or leave it aside.
This is an illustration, not a prescribed subscription model or a client result. Your work might instead concern pricing, a growth opportunity or how the company operates. Explore the work
Fit
When this way of working is useful.
Use the relationship to develop the business with someone who can think it through with you. Your work between sessions gives the next conversation something concrete to build on.
Something you want to build, change or choose.
- An idea or opportunity you want to develop.
- A choice about an offer, pricing, growth or the team.
- The context and information available to you.
- Time to take an action and see what happens.
A clear role for each of us.
- We meet virtually every two weeks.
- You keep final authority and carry the action into the company.
- Access and responsibilities follow the agreed engagement terms.
- Corporate roles and delivery responsibilities need a separate scope and quote.
Common questions
What owners usually need to know.
Open only the answer you need.
How often do we work together?
Ongoing 1:1 work is every two weeks and month to month.
What happens between conversations?
You and your company act on the decision. The next conversation tests what moved, what did not, and what the new evidence changes.
Does Stan run the business for me?
You keep final authority and your company carries its responsibilities in the monthly one-on-one relationship. For corporate work, start with an inquiry. Consulting, advisory, fractional leadership, board work and on-site assignments each have a separately agreed scope and quote, including any travel.
Can the work be virtual or on-site?
Individual one-on-one work is virtual. Corporate and on-site work starts with an inquiry and a separate scope and quote, including any travel.
How do I stop?
The relationship is month to month. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid month under the written engagement terms.
Ongoing 1:1 work
Tell Stan what you want to develop.
The request is short. No payment happens there. Stan replies about fit, the engagement terms and the next step.
