How many times have you heard this line?
If you contract your services out, I am betting that you have heard it often.
When people or companies decide that they are ready to ask for help, they are not always ready to relinquish control. They know what they want to have happen, but just don’t know the best way to make it reality. Which is why they have asked for help and reached out to a virtual assistant, social media analyst, or any number of individuals who they believe can assist them.
If it really took just 5 minutes then I imagine that they would have the time to implement it themselves and they would be less likely to ask for help. It is my job to either assist or complete the project, or job for them, after understanding exactly what they are looking for… and sometimes helping them to become aware of what it is really needed. It takes time to do a job well.
I find that my more successful partnerships are ones that start with a Strategy Session. This not only allows us to connect, and get a really good understanding of the business, but also gives me the time to explain the steps involved with helping the business reach their goals. After our strategy session is over, I do some further strategy and provide a report, that gives them the information they need to move forward on their own, or at the very least, to know what needs to be done, and what to ask for when they contract me or my team, or even decide to connect with someone else.
Partnering in your success.
