Tell me what's going on

You don’t need to arrive with a beautifully defined brief, a twelve-month transformation plan or a PowerPoint presentation explaining the strategic challenges facing the organisation.

In fact, “I’m not entirely sure what the problem is, but something isn’t right” is a perfectly good starting point.

Maybe the business has grown and become harder to manage. Maybe everybody is busy but the numbers aren’t quite doing what you’d expect. Perhaps too much still depends on you, the team isn’t quite working, the systems have become a mess, or you simply want somebody from outside to come in and tell you what they see.

Tell me what’s happening. I’ll ask some questions and we’ll work out whether I can be useful.

And if I’m not the right person, I’ll tell you that too. It saves us both an unnecessarily complicated journey.

Start with the slightly messy version.

Don’t spend half an hour trying to make your business sound impressive. I’m much more interested in what’s actually happening.

A few sentences is plenty.

Name

Email

Company / organisation
Optional, but it does save me immediately Googling you.

Tell me what’s frustrating you, worrying you, taking too much time, costing too much money or simply not making sense.

Prefer email?

Sometimes filling in a website form feels unnecessarily formal.

You can email me directly at cb.thomas@outlook.com

I’m based in Buckinghamshire and work with businesses and organisations across the UK. Depending on what you need, we can start with a phone or video conversation and take it from there.

I’m also perfectly capable of travelling. I’ve crossed India in a pink rickshaw, so the M40 generally holds very little fear for me.

What happens next?

I’ll read what you’ve sent rather than immediately feeding you into an automated sales funnel involving seventeen emails and an invitation to a webinar.

If it looks as though I might be able to help, we’ll arrange a conversation.

That first conversation is really about understanding what’s happening, what you’re trying to achieve and whether there’s a sensible fit between us.

There may be an obvious piece of work. There may be several things tangled together. Or we may discover that what you thought was the problem isn’t actually the problem at all.

Those are often the interesting ones.

Final little sign-off

You don’t need to have the answer.

That’s rather the point.

Tell me what’s going on. We’ll start there.
