Advisory calls and audits

Advisory is the way in when you aren't ready for ongoing work. The free scoping call tests fit. The £150 issue call answers one question. The commercial audit reviews your whole sales process. The £97 teardowns review your ad account or your AI visibility. No VAT is charged on any of them.

Who is it for?

Owners who want a senior, independent view before committing to anything bigger, and anyone with one specific question that deserves a straight answer.

Which one do I need?

You pay for the issue call and the teardowns when you book, and the slot is confirmed straight away. The commercial audit is scoped on a free call first, then takes two weeks from the day I have access and call recordings.

Why pay for a review?

A typical agency audit exists to sell management, and it often leads into a discounted trial run by a junior account manager. My reviews are paid, so they don't have to sell you anything. You get the findings and you keep them.

How I review
When I review a sales process, I trace two deals end to end, one won and one lost, from how each started to how every stage was handled.

Questions people ask

What's the difference between the scoping call and the issue call?

The scoping call is free and about fit: what's happening, whether I can help and what an engagement would look like. I won't try to solve the problem on it. The issue call is a paid hour on one specific question, with a straight answer at the end and no obligation afterwards.

Is VAT charged?

No. Stratus Growth Limited isn't VAT registered, so no VAT is charged.

Are the fees credited if I go ahead?

Yes. The commercial audit fee is credited against the first month of a retainer. The ad account teardown is credited against management, and the AI visibility teardown against follow-on work.

You're weighing up ongoing help

A 60-minute call to work out what's going on and whether I'm the right person to fix it. If I'm not, I'll say so on the call and tell you what would help instead.
