Getting Started with an Initial Consultation
It's easy to get started, just request your initial consultation. You'll get 45-minutes to go over your unique situation, talk about your concerns and needs, then layout a number of approaches best for your situation. This is not a sales call, it's a consultation focused on finding answers to your challenges.
During your initial consultation we'll talk about existing marketing campaigns, your customers, and who you want to be buying from you. Before our time together you'll complete a "Pre-Consultation Interview" survey, which will be returned by fax along with copy samples prior to our call.
Your initial consultation will take 45-minutes, if you need more time than this, then the call isn't focused on your biggest challenge and should be rethought. More time may be available, however, since this is a consultation and not a sales call it needs to focus on providing you the most value for time available.
Even if you're not thinking about hiring anyone, an initial consultation helps clarify your objectives to choose the right provider or none at all. Consider a consultation as a second opinion that will save you money and help you create better results for your business.
Why do I require a fee for an initial consultation? Because this is a service, not a sales call. Frankly, if I wasn't talking with you, I'd be working with a client or on a paid assignment. What I'm doing for you in a consultation is just like what I do for clients, and since I charge them, it's only fair to charge you too.
When you request additional information you'll receive a "Pre-Consultation Interview" form to complete, background information about our services, and a fee schedule. Your "Pre-Consultation Interview" will layout the best times to talk by phone and once returned will start the ball rolling to secure our time.
Your consultation will be conducted by Justin Hitt, or one of his partners, not some hotshot sales person. You are welcome to ask any question as long as its answer focuses on results for your organization. It's our objective to help you develop a plan of action, specifically addressing a sales or marketing challenge faced by your organization.
So with this explanation of how it all works, I feel confident that I am offering an affordable, limited-risk consultation where we can spend 45 minutes exploring your specific needs.
Here's my specific commitment, and the agreement I will make with you.
- I will not sell or attempt to sell you any other service I offer during your consultation. This is YOUR time to ask any questions you wish and for me to answer as much as I can during this paid session.
- If you are interested in discussing any additional services, that discussion will take place after our initial paid consultation.
- Any creative work I do during the consultation (such as writing a headline, writing an opening paragraph, referring you to a source for various needs, etc.) will be included in the session and sent to you after the session along with a recording of our call-- and there's no extra fee for this.
- Good Faith Limited Guarantee: IF AFTER 15 MINUTES OF CONVERSATION EITHER OF US FEELS THIS IS NOT A "GOOD FIT", WE WILL STOP THE CONSULTATION AND I WILL IMMEDIATELY CREDIT BACK YOUR INVESTMENT IN FULL BY CANCELING THE TRANSACTION. The exact timing of the credit card refund may or may not be immediate, and I have no control over that aspect of the refund.
A consultation provides you a way to save time. After the consultation you are under no obligation to hire us. As I hope to earn your business, this service is credited towards your first assignment with our firm.
If you're concerned about the size or number of sales you produce, it may be time to talk with Justin Hitt or Hitt Publishing Direct. In this consultation your questions are answered, based on a pre-call investigation and our conversation about the challenges you face.
