Free scoping call
The free scoping call is a conversation about fit. We work out what's happening in your business, whether I can help and what working together would look like. I won't try to solve the problem on the call, but you'll leave knowing the right next step, even if it isn't me.
Is the scoping call for you?
- You're considering ongoing help with sales, ads or AI
- You want to know whether I'm the right person before committing
- You're not sure which service fits
What happens on the call?
You tell me what's going on. I ask the questions that separate the symptom from the cause. By the end we both know whether I can help, and if I can, what an engagement would look like and how it would run. If I can't, I'll tell you what would help instead.
What you get
- A senior view on where the problem sits
- A straight answer on fit
- An outline of the likely approach
- A written scope afterwards, if we both want to go ahead
Worth knowing: The call is about fit, so I keep it to diagnosis and next steps. If you want an answer to one specific question, the paid issue call is built for that.
How long is it?
60 minutes. Pick a time that suits you and it goes straight into my calendar. If you're weighing up a hire, run your figures through the hire cost calculator first.

Engagements start the same way every time: meetings to understand the business, a diagnosis, process mapping, a structured build and launch. The scoping call is where we find out whether that's worth doing.
