tell us the product and the quarter

  • i.What the product does and for whom, in two sentences.
  • ii.The pages that exist today: blog, comparison, landing.

04Before the first call

three things to set on the table

The first conversation runs about forty minutes. It is shorter and more useful when these are within reach.

The product

documentation and a login

Public docs, a demo account, or a recorded sales call. The writer reads these before drafting a word.

The buyer

the questions they ask

Three queries your customers type, or three objections your sales team hears each week. They seed the keyword map.

The fee

a quarter and a budget line

Sprints are $7,380; the brief is $1,480; the full set is $10,260. Name the quarter and we confirm the fee in writing.
