Yes, you can pick my brain, but can we call it something less painful, please?

How about a Pinpoint Session? Perhaps it was something I said, or something I wrote. It struck a nerve, sparked an idea, made you pause or even panic. You were up all night re-working the way you talk about your business, re-writing that presentation, or re-thinking your marketing plan. Or maybe you just came away with a fresh perspective and want some help applying it to your specific situation.

Whatever your scenario might be, you don’t want to spend a boatload of money on a package of consulting hours, nor do you want a step-by-step self-help tutorial. You do want feedback, ideas, action items, next steps, expertise and maybe even some thinking out loud and wordsmithing, too.

Great! Here’s how the Pinpoint Session works.

• After we agree that I can be of service, we schedule a 90-minute phone or Skype video conference call.

• You drive the agenda or Q&A. In fact, you send it/them to me prior to our appointment, so that I know what we’re going to talk about and so that I can do some advance preparation or assign you some.

• During our session, I will address your concerns, issues, opportunities, challenges, questions and what not. I will help you focus, set priorities, bring order to chaos, reshape a message, decide the right mix of marketing activities, improve your materials, eliminate fluff, revise a layout, tell you if something (including you) makes sense, tighten up a presentation—I think you get the idea.

• I record our session and send it to you as an MP3 file for your listening and re-listening pleasure. That way we don’t find ourselves on a creative roll and then suddenly side tracked by one or the other of us hollering, “That’s it! What you said before! What did you say? You know, right before you said what you just said?” It’s all on the recording.

How much? The fee for a Pinpoint Session is $365 payable in American dollars or by credit card, on or before our scheduled session.
