Work with Stan
Work one-on-one
with Stan.
Develop your next business move with Stan: an offer, a pricing change, a growth opportunity or a better way to organise the work.
One-on-one business work with Stan is $1,500/month. Every two weeks, month to month.
Start with something you want to develop in your business. Together, we compare possible moves, the money and resources each would need, and an action you can take before we meet again.
Meet virtually. You keep authority over the company and your team carries its work. The monthly relationship does not include taking an executive role or staffing a project.
What you can develop together
Build a business customers want to buy from.
You may want an offer customers can keep buying, a price that makes the work worthwhile, or a way to grow that your company can deliver. We work on the move that matters to you and connect it to the rest of the business.
I help develop the possibilities with you: what customers would get, why they would choose it, what it would cost to deliver and what would need to change. Together, we turn an idea into an approach you can put in front of customers or into the company.
You decide what to pursue. At the next session, we use the response to improve the approach. The value is in developing the business with someone who stays with the question as it moves from an idea into practice.
