Hi Ron!
How can DoubleBlaze use Phil for profit, productivity, and peace of mind?
Here are some ideas based on our 17 Nov phone call:
SALES/MARKETING
- Website Copywriting
- Benefit: help attract and land desired clients; get the job done so Ron doesn’t have to think about it.
- Examples: see the former OpenNMS home page for some of the taglines and text I helped them create (e.g., “Get The Network to Work” “You didn’t buy IT for the fun of it”and related content). FYI: OpenNMS was founded by Tarus Balog, who thought marketing was evil until we started working together.
- Testimonial Writing (interview your clients, write up their short testimonials and get their approvals)
- Benefit: help land desired clients with testimonials that sound like you want them to; make life easier for clients by doing their labor; get testimonials sooner rather than later.
- Examples: see OpenNMS page for some quick testimonials (right sidebar).
- Case Study Writing (interview your clients, write up long-form or short-form case studies and get their approvals).
- Benefit: help land clients and justify DoubleBlaze pricing with case studies that show the results your clients get; make life easier for Ron by getting them done.
- Examples: see SciMed Solutions case studies page with embedded testimonials, and the OpenNMS case studies (especially Papa John’s).
- Proposal Prep/Proofing
- Benefit: a second set of hands or eyes to get the job done for you so you can do other work.
- Marketing Strategy: assess market opportunities, competition, trends, client prospects, etc.
- Benefit: help DoubleBlaze expand profitably and efficiently into things that are interesting to its partners; provide a sounding board for DoubleBlaze ideas.
- Examples: see Phil’s testimonials page.
- Client Prospecting: identify qualified businesses and contacts for DoubleBlaze to approach.
- Benefit: focused labor-saving for DoubleBlaze.
STRATEGY/MANAGEMENT
- Business Strategy Assistance
- Benefit: help DoubleBlaze optimize plans for growth, profitability (including pricing), staffing, etc. while recognizing both the market needs and the partner preferences (Do Good. Have Fun. Make Money!). Help DoubleBlaze follow the same smart advice you give to your clients :-)
- Examples: see Phil’s testimonials page.
PROJECT WORK
- Traffic management?
- Project management?
- Documentation/instruction writing?
- Testing/QA?
- UI/UX testing?
That’s all I can think of off the top of my head but I’ll be happy to explore other ideas you might have!
