With Phone a Friend, you get access to fresh perspective when you need it

Phone a Friend

Sometimes you don’t need an ongoing advisor or a full ABC process. You just need to talk through a specific challenge or opportunity with someone who understands agency businesses.

Phone a Friend is exactly that.

It’s a short-term engagement designed to help you evaluate a situation, think through options, and decide what to do next—with experienced perspective and no long-term commitment.

What this is

Phone a Friend gives you direct access to my input on a targeted issue you’re dealing with right now.

This might include:

  • Talking through a difficult client or team situation
  • Evaluating a new opportunity or decision you’re unsure about
  • Reviewing a proposal, pricing question, or scope issue
  • Getting perspective before a challenge becomes a bigger problem

The focus is narrow, practical, and timely.

How it works

  • You book a call directly
  • We use the time to focus on your specific situation
  • Follow-up via email as needed to clarify thinking or next steps

If it’s helpful, you can share brief background information by email in advance so we can make the most of the conversation.

There’s no ongoing commitment or expectation. The goal isn’t to solve everything—it’s to help you make a better decision about this issue.

Who this is for

Phone a Friend is a good fit if:

  • You’re dealing with a discrete challenge or opportunity
  • You want experienced perspective without a longer engagement
  • You don’t need ongoing advisory support right now

It’s also often a useful entry point for owners who want help with a specific issue without committing to a deeper relationship.

Cost

Phone a Friend is $750.
