Where are you located?
Portland, Oregon. Yes, it's raining right now.
How long have you been doing this?
Independent consulting? A few months. But I've done internal communications at large, complex organizations for about 12 years — including a stretch with that international juggernaut, Accenture.
What do you charge?
I'm still working that out. I've got low, low introductory rates; I've got volume pricing such that, for instance, a week is cheaper than five separate days; and I've got flexibility for non-profits if you can establish that you really are not making a profit.
Suffice it to say that I don't intend to be more expensive right now than your typical on-shore freelancer. Once I find my stride a little more, I'll publish standard rates. Until then, drop me a line below and let's work it out based on the size of your project.
If I send you something, can you just give it a quick look for free?
Sure. I'll look it over and give you a ranking, on a scale of one to three, of how much benefit you're likely to see from applying the good stuff. (Some people's stuff is pretty good already.) That can give you a better idea of whether to work with me.
And no, I won't disingenuously give everything a three (highest). I want my clients to clearly see the difference the good stuff can make.
Can you design, write, send and/or track a mass email message, blog post, newsletter, etc. according to my specs?
Sure, happy to do it at $40 an hour. But keep in mind that such an à la carte approach won't bring you the big jumps in measured engagement that the good stuff as a system is capable of. Instead, you'll just have a very nicely done piece that does maybe a little better than what you've seen before.
