I’ll have tea, but you might want coffee. And there will be cake.
I’m buying.
Every first meeting begins in the same way ~ with curiosity.
I’ll be perched on the edge of my chair, feeling pleased and grateful to be invited into your business heartland.
You’ll be ready to share all the delightful details of your working life with me, in the hope that I can lighten some of the loads and bring some fresh energy and a new perspective to your business marketing and growth challenges.
And, for once, I will sit quiet and let you talk.
I don’t set an agenda for our first meeting together ~ at this stage it’s far more about making connections, allowing the space for us to follow the natural ebb and flow of our conversation and observing the thought patterns.
Some people know exactly what they need and it’s already a nice, sturdy concrete thing.
A website.
An in-depth blog post.
A services description page.
A bio.
For others, it’s less about that thing they need and more about their search for the kind of fresh perspective and energy boost that only a new face can bring.
Hopefully my face in particular.
As an outsourced marketing person (and longtime extrovert) I’m in my element in a room full of new people. I thrive amongst the energy of others and social interactions recharge me, making my brain fizz and my pulse race.
For some small businesses, my particular brand of optimism, energy and enthusiasm can prove helpful even before we’ve decided on the exact creative services that I will provide for your business.
Perhaps you or your team are feeling a little lacklustre about marketing your business, you’re tired of thinking about it, too short on time to execute any of your ideas or lacking those ideas in the first place…
Whether you need a thing or a person, hopefully our first meeting will help me to understand your business ambitions and values, see where the gaps are and start to create a clear brief for me to run with.
By the end of it, I’ll be buzzing on sugar, caffeine and talking to another human and you’ll be relieved and excited to find that I can definitely help you to grow your business.
