“Can I do consulting profitably through an agency?” and more...
Sent by Jonathan Stark on May 2nd, 2019
In today’s group coaching session, we had a bunch of good questions that touched on topics like:
- A few ways to do consulting profitably through an agency
- How to transition from hands work to head work when working with Agile methodology
- How to use podcasting as both market research and content marketing
- The pros and cons of selling services as “build your own” vs “no substitutions”
Good stuff!
Here are the questions I answered today:
I have an agency who wants me to consult on ecommerce/shopify projects. But right now exactly how many projects they would isn’t defined. Should I charge a flat rate per project to consult? Or a monthly fee because I am available? I am also a little unsure how what price makes sense. (timestamp: 1m 19s)
I currently do custom rails apps, using agile, so minimal upfront planning/documentation. Looking at moving to more head than hands work, what would the deliverables look like for non-implementation project, ie what do you think would be in the table of contents for the roadmapping/discovery report? (timestamp: 14m 39s)
How can I use podcasting to reach my target market? (timestamp: 31m 50s)
Should I present my productized services in a build-your-own way, sort of like Chipotle? (timestamp: 43m 22s)
