The SLICE Engagement for Solopreneurs

If you are currently an entrepreneur or a one person show looking to grow – this one’s for you!

Craft a clear, compelling brand story that attracts the perfect clients and customers.

Stand out and differentiate your work.

Grow your audience, sales and influence.

Streamline your marketing efforts for more ease, joy and effectiveness.

The SLICE is a branding, marketing + value-defining immersion, designed to help you answer two crucial, juicy questions: what do you offer that no one else can? And who needs what you’ve got to offer — like none other?

With those prompts as our launchpad, we’ll work together to identify your irresistible story points, ideal customers, meaningful metrics and compelling pitch language. In just one week, you’ll glimpse the soul of your business — and walk away with actionable strategies to deliver that spirit straight to your desired audience.

It’s one-part private workshop + one-part business coaching + one-part story-shaping, with a couple of unexpected creative triggers (like a virtual Scavenger Hunt, for starters.)

After completing some pre-work, you’ll spend a few hours with me, in the gorgeous San Francisco Bay Area. Or, I’ll beam over to you — virtually, that is (Zoom is a miracle-worker).

HOW IT WORKS!

  • Prior to your day-long retreat, you will complete a SLICE Playbook — 10 pages of prompts, prods and probing questions, designed to drill into the unique core elixir that informs how you want to look, talk and act in the marketplace. This Playbook anchors my preliminary research, so I can show up swinging, with info that’s relevant for you. It also serves to get your mind fully synchronized for the dialogue we’ll crack open, on the day of your strategic retreat.
  • On the day of your SLICE retreat, we’ll stride into action with a half-hour of Irresistible Presence 101 — high-speed circuit-training for your branding muscles. You will (finally!) grasp the differences between brand (hint: it’s more than a logo), marketing, social media, PR, and other buzzwords + platforms that can serve (and structure) your business. No more terminology-tension or communication potholes. When it comes to messaging, we want to be speaking the same language.
  • After that, we’ll shift into a few hours of strategic coaching — we’ll spiral closer to the soul of your business, and decide how to make it shine, in a way that resonates with your dream clients. We’ll dive into core benefits, authentic messaging, and package-able proof points. We’ll work towards profiling your ideal targets with precision, so you can focus your efforts, without boiling the ocean. We’ll also discuss competition and differentiators, enabling you to see the ‘white space’ that you can swiftly claim to break away from the pack. Throughout the session, clarity is the goal.
  • Then, I’ll go away with my writing partner, where we’ll put our thinking caps on and work our magic — this is the part where we get technical, logistical, and tactical. We’ll craft compelling brand language and outline marketing recommendations and next steps. We adhere to the 80/20 rule of decision-making, identifying the efforts that’ll deliver the biggest bang for your branding buck.
  • Within a week: you’ll receive a shiny new SLICE Brandscape Report that includes everything you need, all synthesized + spelled out in (delightfully) plain English:
  • Core Brand Value Proposition
  • Detailed Ideal Client Profiles
  • Main Benefits + Differentiators
  • Company Descriptor + Elevator Pitch
  • Mission, Vision, and Manifesto/Philosophy
  • About Page. For an additional fee, you can add copy for Home page, Sales page, Bio, or Offering descriptors.
  • Content Marketing Tips and Topic Ideas
  • Marketing Recommendations
  • Next Steps (Yes, exact action steps to bring your brand to life!)
  • Personalized referrals to road-tested freelancers + contractors whom I adore (from graphic designers to coders to copywriters, and beyond) to support your upward trajectory.
  • REVIEW CALL + ONE MONTH OF UNLIMITED ACCESS/COACHING: You get a one-hour review call to walk through your Brandscape Report and share feedback, ask questions and clarify recommendations. Then, you get one month of additional coaching, feedback and access to me as you put all your next steps into action! Think of me as your Marketing Director On-Call: I’ll weigh in on logo or website choices, give feedback on marketing copy, help you shape marketing campaigns, pitch letters and more and point you in the right direction as you launch your refreshed brand into the world. You get unlimited access to me during this month! We can even cap off the month with one last strategy call so you can take the ball and confidently run with it.
