Thirty minutes, one-to-one.
It's a video call on Google Meet or Zoom, and it's just you and one person from the team. We ask about your business. You ask whatever you came with. It usually lands on one of these:
Describe it however it comes out. We'll tell you straight.
Tell us what you do and how people usually end up hiring you. That's what we're listening for, and it's usually enough to know.
An account you'd want to move over. A date you're not sure we can hit. A question the FAQs half answered.
You don't need to have it worked out. Roughly what you want is enough to go on.
What it's like.
-
Mostly questions, and mostly yours.
Where the half hour goes depends on what you bring. Bring one question and it's a short call.
-
No tour of the software.
Nobody opens the app and clicks through menus at you. The call is about whether it should be yours, not what's in it.
-
Nothing signed on the call.
You can say no at the end of it. So can we.
Mike had asked somebody else for a website before he asked us. What he said about them:
I never felt like I had enough time, or was asked enough questions, to have somebody capture me and what's important to me in my business.
Pick a time.
You'll get a confirmation with the video link in it. Anything you enter here is handled the way Legal & disclaimers describes.
Then one of two things.
If it's a fit and you want to go ahead,
- you sign up. Add the team, and your kick-off call comes with it — a different call, with your client manager, where your queue gets filled. This call is where you decide. That one is where the work starts.
If it isn't a fit,
- we say so on the call, and we say why. Sometimes what you need first is help deciding what your business should sell. That's strategy, and BLUEprint Business Lab is where it happens. Either way you leave knowing what to do next.
