Advisory session

Honest advice about your business, from someone who thinks like a business owner

There's a question you can't shake off. Should you hire someone? Is your price right? Why do so few customers come in through your website? In two hours we put everything on the table, and you leave with a clear plan.

€295 excl. VAT for two hours, including preparation and a written action plan.

In short

  • Two hours, at the office in Weelde or by video call
  • Prepared with a short questionnaire

  • In English, French, Dutch or Portuguese
Who it's for

When to book a session

You have an important decision to make

Hiring someone, raising your prices, entering a new market or making a big investment. An honest outside view prevents costly mistakes.

You want to grow, but don't know where to start

There's plenty to do, but what comes first? Together we find the step that delivers the most, and park the rest for now.

Your marketing costs more than it brings in

You put time and money into ads, social media or your website, but you don't see it come back as enquiries.

Topics

What we can talk about

You bring the question. I ask the hard questions and explain everything in plain language, without jargon.

  • Growth and strategy: where is your next step?
  • Marketing and lead generation: how do you find more and better customers?
  • Sales: how do you turn more conversations into contracts?
  • Organisation and processes: where are you losing time, and what can you automate?
  • Pricing and offer: are you charging enough for what you deliver?
How it works

Two hours, three steps

01

Preparation

After booking you receive a short questionnaire. That way I know where you stand beforehand and we don't lose any time during the session.

02

The session

Two hours at the office in Weelde, Belgium, or by video call. We dig into your question and work out the best approach together.

03

Your action plan

Within three working days you receive an action plan with three to five concrete steps, in the right order. So you can get started straight away, with or without me.

Questions

What clients usually ask about this.

Is this a sales pitch?

No. You pay for honest advice, and that's what you get. Even if that advice is that you don't need me.

Do I need to be a client already?

No, the session is open to every business owner, from sole traders to small and medium-sized businesses.

Can it be done online?

Yes, by video call. In person at the office in Weelde, Belgium, is also possible, by appointment from Monday to Friday between 9:00 and 17:30.

What if I want help with the implementation afterwards?

Then we look together at what you need. If you start a project within 30 days, we deduct the €295 from your project price.

What's the difference with Strategy and Consulting?

An advisory session is one conversation about one question. Strategy is a two-week research project with a twelve-month marketing plan. With consulting I work alongside you in your business for a longer period. A session is often the first step towards one of the two.

Who will I be talking to?

Me, Miguel Cruz. I've been building websites for more than twenty years, and businesses hire me as a consultant for business development, operations, marketing, lead generation and sales. What clients value most: I explain complicated things in plain language.

Sounding board

Prefer a regular sounding board?

Some decisions aren't made in one go. With the sounding board programme, you don't have to face them alone.

  • A fixed session every month
  • Reachable in between with your questions
  • Follow-up on what we decided last time
  • Included when you take a package, otherwise for a tailored monthly fee

Ready to make some decisions?

Tell me briefly what's on your mind. I take on a limited number of sessions per month, so every client gets the attention they deserve.
