FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is transparent and structured based on the type of service you need. VA / Administrative Support Services I offer a free 30-minute discovery call to assess fit and discuss ongoing support needs. These services are typically offered in monthly packages. Grant Writing & Business Plan Development A $75 consultation is required before beginning any grant or business plan project. This allows me to review your organization, clarify scope, and provide accurate flat-rate pricing. Grant and business plan services are offered as structured packages. Marketing Strategy Sessions Marketing Strategy Sessions are booked as paid sessions. These standalone sessions focus on marketing clarity, positioning, visibility, and growth direction for your business. There are no hidden fees. Scope, deliverables, and payment terms are clearly outlined before any work begins.
