Results Call
Up to ninety minutes. One real problem. No slide deck.
Here is what happens, so you are not guessing. I listen, we work the actual problem, and if there is a pitch it is short, it comes at the end, and it only happens if we have not already solved the thing. If we have, I say so out loud instead.
You set the length. Book anywhere from twenty minutes to the full ninety. Most people take the whole thing, and a short call is not a lesser call. Two of the shortest calls I have on record were the densest.
No discovery questionnaire. No lead scoring. No qualification gate. This is not a shorter sales call, it is a different thing.
Why this costs you nothing
Some of these calls turn into paid work later. The ones that do fund the ones that don't.
It is also how the work demonstrates itself. In every first call I have on record, the person arrived naming one problem and left with a different one. That reframe is the product, and it happens before any money moves.
This is the cheapest possible test of everything else on this site. If the call is not useful, nothing further down the page will be either, and you will have spent nothing finding that out.
You do not have to arrive with it tidy.
Most people book this while the thing is still moving. That is fine. It is better, actually, because a problem you have already summarized into three bullets has usually had the interesting part sanded off it.
“I struggled with this exact thing for two years and the fix was not the thing I was working on.”
“I have worked with people who could not say the price out loud, and could say it fine four weeks later.”
“Something I see often is a founder solving the loudest problem instead of the load-bearing one.”
Bring the version you would tell a friend, not the version you would tell a board.
What actually happens
| Stage | Title | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| First | You lay it out | You talk, I listen, and I ask short specific questions. |
| Then | We work it | Often the thing you booked about turns out to be a different thing. I show you rather than tell you, and then I try to break it in front of you. |
| Last | You take it over | The calls that go well end with you naming your own next steps. |
There is no run of show and no timed agenda. The shape is set by what you bring and how fast you take it over.
On paying what it was worth
Pay what the call was worth to you. That can be nothing, and nothing is a real answer I have taken before.
If it turns out the call did the job a thousand-dollar engagement would have done, I will say so in the room. Then you decide.
After the call
The call happens, and then we decide together what we do next, if we do anything at all. That decision gets made in the room, by both of us.
