You might benefit from working with me on your positioning or marketing message, but first let's make sure there's not somebody better for you. The critical elements of good fit are your company size, your needs, and your mindset.

Your Business Size

If you're a large shop (50 employees or more), there are other experts who have more relevant experience: Referrals for large shops

I'm a great fit for solo developers and small shops (25 or fewer employees) needing help with positioning, messaging strategy, and lead generation. If that's you, keep reading. There are a few more things we need to check for fit...

Your Needs

If you need copywriting, white papers, articles, or marketing emails created and you've already made the key messaging or strategy decisions about that content, you're better off contacting one of the writers below:

1. Zach Elwood: zelwood@gmail.com
2. Sarah Greesonbach sarah@greesonbachcreative.com
3. Cherilyn DeVries: cherilyn@gotyourbackediting.com

Another excellent option if you need help creating content marketing is http://audienceops.com/.

Outbound Marketing

If you need help designing and executing an outbound marketing campaign, I can't recommend http://www.outboundcreative.com/ enough. I've worked collaboratively with Outbound Creative before, so there are some scenarios where working with both Jake and I makes sense. For example, bootstrapping a new market position is one scenario where working with both Outbound Creative and me is ideal.

Speaking as Lead Generation

If you need help becoming a better public speaker specifically to generate leads, Matt Kraus is a presentation consultant who can help you with this: mattkrause@mattkrause.com

Your Mindset

If you need a quick fix for a marketing emergency, there are dozens if not hundreds of alternatives to hiring me. I will only frustrate you with my insistence that you take the emotionally challenging, sustainable, slow path of developing a strong, well-differentiated market position and supporting it with a small group of lead generation techniques that require real expertise and consistent repetition.

That said, if you are willing to walk that path, you will build a business that enables one or all of the following:

• Part-time work for a full-time income, done largely on your own terms
• An ability to cherry-pick only the best or most interesting projects from a steady flow of leads
• A revenue mix that includes high-profit digital products and advisory services

An excellent way to check for mindset fit is to read http://thepositioningmanual.com. If you find yourself nodding along in agreement with what I write there, you can be confident that we would probably work well together.

My Service Offerings

My services help you solve two core business problems: lead generation and positioning. The latter must be solved to facilitate solving the former.

Depending on where you are in your business' maturity, you may need help from me to develop one or more of the following 7 critical assets:

1. A strong market position
2. A clearly-defined services "ladder"
3. Online lead generation strategy & infrastructure
4. A traffic-generation practice
5. Email marketing strategy & infrastructure
6. Content marketing assets
7. Sales collateral

To help you create these seven assets for your business, I offer several services that accommodate a range of needs from "DIY-er needing some expert guidance" to "Philip, just put together a team and do it all for us please":

Positioning Accelerator Program

If you need some custom support with your positioning process, my positioning accelerator program is for you. You get Slack chatroom access to me for same-day responses to your specific questions and potential roadblocks, along with weekly office hours calls for realtime problem-solving and accountability check-ins. Even better, you'll get to interact with others who are facing the same challenges you are, which accelerates your progress.

If you're feeling like the positioning process is particularly challenging or it's bringing up a lot of fear or uncertainty, a 1-on-1 engagement is ideal.
