Request a diagnosis.

It produces a scored baseline of where your commercial system stands against the buyer you actually have. You keep the baseline whether or not you engage us for anything after it.

Three questions. No budget dropdown, and nothing asking how you heard about us.

Sent straight to the two people who answer it. No autoresponder sequence, no call centre.

Step 1 of 3

What are you asking for?

Step 2 of 3

The business

Enough that we can look before we reply.

Nothing about a private engagement is published, including that it exists. A name and one way to reach you is enough at this stage.

Step 3 of 3

How do we reach you?

A name and one way to reach you. A phone number stays optional.

Tell us what to call you.

That address is missing something. Check it, or leave a number instead.

That number looks short. Ten digits, or leave it empty.

After you send it

What actually happens, and how quickly.

  1. A founder reads it

    Not a queue, not an assistant, and not a sequence. One of the two people who run the firm reads the request itself.

    Same or next business day

  2. We look before we reply

    If you gave a website we read it first, so the reply is about your situation rather than a calendar link. Sometimes the reply is that we are not the right firm.

    Before any call is proposed

  3. One conversation, then a written proposal

    Scope, fee, limitations and the exit path are set out in writing. Nothing on this site is a quotation, and nothing is agreed on a call.

    Only if there is something worth scoping

  • No autoresponder sequence, and you are not added to a list
  • No analytics, advertising pixels or cookies on this site
  • Ask us to delete the request and it is deleted
  • Nothing about a private engagement is published, including that it exists

What happens next

  1. 01

    A founder reads it

    Requests are not routed to a queue. One of the two of us reads it and replies.

  2. 02

    We look before we reply

    At what you sell, how it reads to someone deciding, and where the decision is forming without you.

  3. 03

    Then a written proposal, if it warrants one

    Scope, fee, limits and exit, in writing. If the honest answer is that you do not need us, that is the reply you get.
