You know all of that behind the scenes stuff for your business that’s currently sitting on your to-do list? How realistic is it that you’ll tackle those things without help in the next couple of months…? (No judgment here. I have several things on my to-do list like that, too!)
Guess what? I can probably help you get several of those things on your to-do list crossed off – maybe even in just a day or two! (Yes, really.)
Generally, I only work with clients on retainer. But I’m noticing that a lot of business owners don’t actually need to have an online business manager on retainer. I want to experiment with a different way of working with folks. If you’re a consultant, speaker, coach, or another type of service provider, you’ll be able to hire me as your online business manager (OBM) for the day to help you knock out some of those tasks and projects that you haven’t gotten to this year…yet.
What’s an online business manager (OBM)?
Generally, an OBM is someone who helps you think strategically about your business operations, processes, and systems, helps implement and improve those processes and systems, and then manages the day-to-day operations and projects of your business.
For me, that means I use my many years of operations and management experience to help consultants, speakers, coaches, and other service providers who feel exhausted and overwhelmed by their growing list of clients and the never-ending admin. I help you get the behind the scenes parts of your business in order so you can spend more time doing the work you love, growing your business, and making an impact.
What does it mean to hire me as your OBM for the day?
It means you’ll get my total focus on your business and support with both strategy AND implementation for the day (plus two weeks support via email and Voxer–a voice and text messaging app).
Imagine what it would be like to…
- Set up, streamline, and automate the foundational systems in your business so you have more time to do the work you love and serve your clients.
- Improve and streamline your client experience from the initial call with them to off-boarding so that your clients feel valued from start to finish.
- Get your project and task management process and the day-to-day operations of your business in order so that your to do list finally feels manageable.
Let’s work together to tackle your to-do list before the end of the year. Schedule a quick call with me to learn more.
How this all works
I’m offering these spots on a sliding scale from $750-$1,100 per day. More on the sliding scale below.
Step 1 – Quick call: If you’d like to learn more, you’ll schedule a quick call with me, and we’ll chat about what you’re needing and whether it’s a good fit for this model.
Step 2 – Pay and pick your day: I’ll send you an invoice and contract. Once you’ve paid and signed, you’ll pick your day.
Step 3 – Pre-work: A few days before, you’ll complete some pre-work for me, and we’ll hop on a call to finalize what you’d like to focus on so you get the most out of our day and great return on your investment.
Step 4 – Your Day: On your day, we’ll start with a strategy session for 60-90 minutes. Then over the next 4-5 hours, I’ll get to work implementing. (Ideally, you’ll be available to answer questions and provide quick feedback during this time.) Then we’ll reconnect at the end of the day to review everything we accomplished and answer any questions you have.
Step 5 – Questions and Support: For two weeks after your day, I’ll be available via email and Voxer (voice and text messaging app) for questions and support related to what we worked on during your day.
Trying out this style of working with clients was on my to-do list for along time and I’m finally getting to it, so I totally understand if you have projects and tasks that have been sitting on your to-do list for a while, too.
Hire me for a day, and let’s get those things crossed off your list! You’ll feel so much better about the behind the scenes parts of your business.
