FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My time and experience are worth $135/hr to me at the moment, but I consider each request individually and often offer a flat fee or trade
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I take an initial 45-minute consultation free of charge, either in person or by phone if meeting in person isn't possible. On the basis of that consult, I'll draft a proposal letter for you outlining the scope of services and a preliminary schedule, which you can accept or modify as you see fit.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I became one of the most celebrated figures in Portland's coffee scene through my companies Coffeehouse Northwest, Sterling Coffee, and Coffee Roasters United. I've studied economics, business management, data analysis, marketing, sales development, nutrition, exercise science, and game theory and applied lessons from each to my life and to those I've consulted with in my 12 year career.
