“First of all, I’d like to thank you for sharing your wisdom in the e-mail newsletter. It’s fantastic and I look forward to reading every single one.

I’ve just recently taken the plunge into the freelance world and I’m considering starting my own company; so your newsletter is a great source of information for me”

Vicky Hatziarapoglou Designer

“The tips and techniques provided by Michael on how to build my design business have been right on target, and a needed resource for us graphic design-entrepreneurs.”

“I have recommended this fine resource to my other design friends (but not so much to my direct competitors!)”

Coaching

Coaching, Mentoring & Advice for Creative Business Owners

NOTE FROM MICHAEL:
After a very busy winter, I now have some limited time available in my schedule for coaching. If you’re interested, review the information below. Questions? Contact me anytime at Michael@forgraphicdesignersonly.com.

What is the fastest way to build your freelance design practice or design firm?

Talk to an expert.

An expert can provide you with customized answers to such questions as:

• How do I get more clients?
• How much should I be charging for my design services?
• Which marketing tactics work best for creative businesses? (And which are a waste of time and money.)
• Is it possible to spend less time on marketing and still get great results? If so, how?
• Should I focus on a niche market? If so, which one?
• Where do I find the best freelancers and employees?
• What’s the key to getting more business from existing clients?
• How do I attract more referrals?
• What’s the secret to creating a quotation or proposal that wins the job?
• I want to work less and still generate the great income. Is that possible? If so, how?

And many others.

That’s where my coaching program can help.

But before I tell you more about it, first let me point out that my coaching program is NOT for everyone.

I prefer to work only with individuals who are serious about growing their design businesses — and are willing to invest the time and dollars to make that happen.

If you have severely limited financial resources, or have very little time to devote to building your business, then the best option for you might be to purchase one of my audio classes or courses.

But if you’re interested in getting customized, highly practical, answers and advice from me personally… and are committed to putting what you learn into action … then I encourage you to read on…

Here’s how the coaching works

Each coaching session is conducted by phone and lasts 45 minutes. You can sign up for one session at a time, or reserve a block of sessions at a discount.

When you request a session, I’ll send you an email indicating up to 3 time slots when I’m available. You simply let me know, by return email, which slot works best for you.

All sessions are conducted during regular business hours, eastern time zone. (Sorry, no evening or weekend appointments are available.)

You’ll be given a special phone number to call. At that time, I’ll have my schedule cleared so I can give you my full attention.

To make the most of our time together, it’s a good idea to send me an email prior to the session with your questions. However, my answers and suggestions are provided only by phone. So be sure to take good notes!

Which coaching option works best for you?
