What to Expect When Working With Me
So, what’s it really like to work with a copywriting professional? It may sound a bit overwhelming, but it can actually reduce your stress!
Rest assured, from scheduling your free 30-minute Discovery Call to the completion of your project– I’m here to help.
I’m excited to hear what makes your practice special!
I typically begin our professional relationship using this general framework explained below as a blueprint for our call.
But not to worry, this isn't written in permanent ink – this whole process will be customizable to your unique practice.
On the Day of Our Call
Our discovery call is when we get the first chance to connect. Thirty minutes is a lot longer than most free calls because I want to have plenty of time for us to get to know each other.
Our call will focus on hearing more about your dreams, your business, and your goals for the future. I’ll answer any questions along the way to make sure we address your priorities and what copywriting you specifically need for your practice.
From my personal experience, most child development professionals are ideal listeners. But talking about themselves? Not exactly their cup of tea. I get it. I certainly don’t want you to feel put on the spot! 😬
So that there are no worries when we get on our call, here are some of the basic questions that I typically address that help get your wheels turning before our visit.
Who is your ideal client, and why? Be as specific as possible.
What’s one aspect of your job you wish you could do more of?
What’s one aspect of your practice you wish could be more streamlined?
Jot down any thoughts and questions you may have for me to bring to our call.
If you’re comfortable, I’ll record our call so that I’m not trying to take notes AND listen. That way, I can go back and make sure I didn’t miss anything we talked about.
After our call, I’ll send you a summary of my notes and ideas, as well as a proposal with pricing options for any services we talked about on the call.
How This Works in Real Time
I like to start new clients with a smaller project first. Beginning in this manner helps us get to know each other’s style better.
After our initial project, we’ll have a clearer picture and can better determine whether to move forward with a larger project or ongoing retainer-style work.
Once we’ve decided on the best fit for our initial project, I’ll send you a contract with discussed details. To secure your deadline and your spot in my calendar, fifty percent of the total cost is due when the contract is signed.
When I receive the first payment, I’ll begin my work and you can take some much needed time to relax!
Your first draft will be sent on or before the deadline we agreed upon. The second half of the cost will be due at that time.
You’ve Got Mail
Once the draft is sent to your inbox via google docs, I’ll ask for your thoughts and suggested edits. Remember, you have 7 days from when you receive the document to get those edits back to me!
I’ll review and complete your edits and send you the final draft. After that, you’re ready to hit publish and reap the benefits of high-quality content!
I’m excited to get started on your project. If you have any questions before our call, please don’t hesitate to contact me! I’m here to help. 😊
