Answer six short questions and I will suggest the most useful starting point for you, including the scope and the fee.
No call is needed and there is nothing to commit to. I read every one of these myself and reply personally, usually within two working days.
Pick the one that is closest. We can widen it later.
A few lines is plenty. Say it however you would say it out loud.
One sentence. What would make this worth your time?
This only shapes the pace. There is no wrong answer.
If you are not sure, say so. That is the most common answer.
I ask so I suggest something that actually fits, not so I can price up to it. If you have no idea yet, that is the normal answer, and if what I suggest is more than you can do, say so and I will shape it around you.
A LinkedIn profile, a job advert you are going for, anything else worth reading. Paste a link or the text. If you would rather send a CV, I will ask for it when I reply.
No phone number and no diary juggling. Just tell me where to reply.
I will read this properly and come back to you within two working days with a short recommendation, including the scope and the fee.
If something changes in the meantime, or you remember a detail that matters, just reply where we were already talking.
