Four ways to work with me

Four ways I take the work off your plate and make it perform.

You don't need another advisor with opinions. You need someone who builds the machine, runs it, and stands behind the number at the end of the month. Open the pillar that matches where you're stuck. The price and the proof sit together, where they belong.

Work · a 90-day plan I actually ran

Anyone can tell you what they did. I'll show you what changed.

Coaching practice, founder plus three. One number agreed in week one and never moved. Everything below ladders to it, and everything that couldn't be traced to it did not get built.

Qualified leads a month
11 →11

Target was 25. Qualified was defined in writing on day seven and never redefined.

Cost per qualified lead
0%

Three channels stopped outright and two tools cancelled inside the first fourteen days.

Founder hours a week on marketing
9 →9

Weekly publishing cadence running without founder involvement by day seventy.

The subtraction list

This did more for the result than the build list. Every item was proposed, considered, and refused, on the record, with a reason.

  • No rebrand. The logo was not the reason leads were flat.
  • No new website. Three pages were fixed. The other nineteen were left alone.
  • No second offer. One offer understood beats two offers hedged.
  • No third channel. One channel was working. Adding two more would have halved the attention on it.
  • No CRM migration. A four-week project that would have moved the number by zero.

The operating cadence

Plans don't fail at the strategy layer. They fail because nothing forces them to be looked at on a Tuesday. Four recurring commitments, none longer than an hour.

  • Monday15 minThree priorities named. Anything not on the list does not get built.
  • Wednesday2 hrsProtected build block. No calls, no reviews. This is when things ship.
  • Friday10 minThe number is posted, same place, same format, whether it moved or not.
  • Month end45 minWhat we stop, what we double. One decision each, both written down.

Contact · book a call

Let's build the engine.

Then let me run it.

Book a discovery call and we'll do two things. Name exactly what's holding your marketing, systems, operations, or book back, and map how I'd fix it. You'll walk away knowing your next move, whether we work together or not.

  • We talk through where you are and where you're trying to get to.
  • I ask the questions that surface the real bottleneck, not the obvious one.
  • We agree what we'd be measuring, before anything else gets discussed.
  • You get a straight read on what I'd do first, and whether I'm the right fit.

Tell me about your business and what you're wrestling with. Authors: send genre, word count, draft state and target publication date, and the first call becomes a scoping call rather than a discovery call. hello@ciaramejia.com
