FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I believe it's important to keep my pricing flexible. I work with my clients to land on a fee and schedule that works best for both of us. I can charge by the hour, project or retainer fee depending on the project and time frame.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I'm flexible in terms of how best to communicate with new clients. Email, Skype, phone, messaging, Slack, Basecamp and more, are all a part of my toolbox. Typically, if a client shows interest in my offer, we kick off their project with an introductory phone call and email exchange of basic project requirements and needs.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BS in Biology. I know what you're thinking. How'd I get into writing/marketing? Long story, but in a nutshell, after college I got a job as project manager for a non-profit. A big part of that job was grant writing. That experience got me a job for a local start-up in their marketing department crafting business proposals and RFP responses. We were bought out by AIG, the multi-national insurance company, where I boosted my marketing chops even more. In addition to business proposals, I was now writing ads (both print and online), brochures, web-pages, video scripts, speeches and more. Plus, managing their social media presence. After seven years in corporate, I was ready to forge out on my own. And here I am - working for you, I hope.
