In a remarkably short period of time, Hagar has had a significant impact on our team through two core areas of strength – an ability to quickly diagnose where our gaps are, and an ability to provide digestible training to our team so they are better prepared to fill those gaps. She has become an invaluable resource, and we all feel very lucky to be working with her.
We want to help clients as quickly as possible, so we scope 3-6 month contracts through a simple process:
Partnership Process
-
Initial call to meet and get to know each other, while also exploring the potential client’s needs.
-
Second conversation to discuss the potential project scope and support needs in more detail.
-
Draft proposal to outline services, deliverables, and cost as well as solicit client’s feedback via multiple drafts if needed.
-
Contract execution based on approved proposal; initial invoice follows the signed contract.
