FAQ
I'd like to post more
questions and answers about how I work. Send me your questions.
1. Will you write me a proposal of services you could
provide?
If you want me to write
you a full proposal I will require a deposit of $1,000.
When you hire me that deposit will act as your first
month's retainer and cover the initial services. Otherwise
I will give you a simple estimate that has an expiration
date, by email.
2.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes, with some conditions. (This answer will be expanded.)
3.
Will you participate in price bidding?
No thanks.
4.
Do you ever work on a commission basis or contingency
basis?
No. I work on a retainer. Commissions just aren't a
practical way to ensure that I'd get paid for the true
value of my expertise.I have no way to monitor your income
unless you're willing to let me have access to all your
bank accounts and sign over your home to me as collateral.
{GRIN} I'm pretty sure you wouldn't find either of those
agreeable.
5.
Are you a life coach?
No, I'm a public relations consultant. My clients already
are doing what they love and know where they want to go.
They just need my strategic advice to get themselves there
much faster than going it on their own.
6.
Will you work with my publicist and speaker bureau?
No, I don't take direction
from people who have less experience than I, who may work
at cross purposes, and who may be duplicating efforts
costing you more than necessary.
7.
Are you an advertising agency, and don't you get a
commission every time your client buys advertising?
No. In fact, I don't want
clients to pay for advertising. (Advertising is fine for
household repair services and products but not very
effective for most businesses, organizations and
professions.) I prefer that you not pay for promotion, but
rather get paid to promote yourself. I don't get a
commission on anything my clients buy that I didn't create.
This way I avoid conflicts of interests.
