Introduction: Business Plus One stands out because it's a one-stop-shop for either administrative support or writing services. Ideal for your start-up, small business, and growing business. I am multi-faceted! My services and strengths include writing and communications, fundraising, project management, inter-institutional collaboration, relationship building, and improving administrative systems As a writer, I'm an intuitive and empathic listener. Anyone can listen for the facts and content of a writing project that needs to get done. I however, listen and ask questions about the purpose and intention of my customer's project. Understanding how my customer feels about their project allows me to put that feeling into the project. I enjoy listening to the passion, excitement or reason my customers have for the projects they have me write. I enjoy experiencing how happy and satisfied they are when I materialize copy of their thoughts and ideas right before their very eyes! As an administrator, I take the time to understand your business, to respect the voice of your brand/product/service, and to buy into your vision in order to create results. I enjoy working on specific projects that grow your business and will handle all its administrative responsibilities especially the ones on your "To-Do" list that you never get around "to doing".

I would like to give a recommendation for Catherine Poku, who recently did some amazing fundraising research for me and my new non-profit, Spellbound Theatre. Even though I was working with a very limited budget, Catherine was thorough, dedicated, and completely thoughtful about the different avenues for fundraising that we can look into. She conducted interviews, did research, and submitted a final report that was incredibly helpful to me and Spellbound's board members as we create our strategic plan for the next year. For those of you looking for assistance or consulting in fundraising, development, grant writing, etc., I highly recommend that you reach out to her.

Catherine brings professionalism, follow-through, attention to detail, reliability, and efficiency to all the projects that she creates and manages. Functioning as a de facto contract manager in our working context, she built solid relationships with government and private funding sources and proved to be a politically astute negotiator with issues that arose with the funder. Catherine has a methodical approach of transforming ideas into deliverables. She is a process oriented, solution driven, decision maker. I am pleased to have worked with her professionally and can strongly recommend her.

Catherine provides a complete window and transparency to anything she writes. Her conviction, compassion, truthfulness, warmth, along with her very calm and nurturing voice, will give the reader and in-depth look into anyone/thing/place/object she is tasked with. It was a wonderful pleasure to meet with her and to write my story, from the face-to-face interview and providing drafts and final product, it was superb. Definitely recommended and look forward to seeing/reading the work that she continues to do so well.

I recently had the opportunity and pleasure to work with Catherine, from Business Plus One. It is rare these days to work with someone that, in every way, exemplifies and lives up to your highest expectations. This was my experience working with Catherine. She took a convoluted idea, a concept I had been working on for years - and gave it order and structure. Beyond that - she really listened. I could not ask for more. My experience with Business Plus One was exceptional. I highly recommend Catherine and Business Plus One - she is special. I have plans to utilize her services again - soon. Five stars. A 100% first class experience. Most sincerely - Mark M.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
In general, I charge a standard hourly rate for my work. However, since writing projects are so varied - creative writing, ghost writing, technical, social media/marketing - I establish an hourly rate based on the complexity or time intensity of the project.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, I like to get a clear idea of what my new customer wants to accomplish. I prefer talking to a new customer on the phone for about 15 to 30 min so I can hear what gets them excited about the project that I'm going to work on for them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have both a Bachelor's and Master's degree, completed several creative writing courses and workshops, and have over 18 years experience as a freelance writer and editor. I have over 5 years writing grant-winning proposals in the amount of $700,000 which is attests to my persuasive and compelling writing style. I also create marketing concepts (slogans, taglines, product/service descriptions) for a variety of small business.
