The Professional & Technical Firms in Focus
Data shows that in a strong concentration of management consulting, design, photography, legal, notary, accounting, architecture, engineering, environmental and IT-related firms, many of them are home-based. We build around that reality.
- Clarify specialization and differentiators
- Design offer ladders that match how clients buy
- Target organizations where your expertise is a high-fit
- Package services for recurring work and retainers
- Map and reach ideal local business and family clients
- Highlight the right portfolio stories in campaigns
- Define your “sweet spot” client and case/project mix
- Blend referral, partner, and direct outreach strategies
- Use simple metrics to see which channels are working
Less Guessing, More Deliberate Growth
Most solo and micro professional firms are strong on expertise but stretched thin on positioning, targeting, and systems. We help you bring structure without losing the flexibility that makes you good at what you do.
- Specialization and “sweet spot” mapping
- Service packages that reflect real client needs
- Messaging that speaks to outcomes, not jargon
- Target lists by industry, size, and location
- Maps that show where high-fit clients are concentrated
- Simple prioritization for outreach and relationship-building
- Basic pipeline design and status stages
- Rhythms for follow-up and check-ins
- Signals to know when it’s time to adjust offers or targeting
Positioning & Offer Architecture
When your expertise is broad, it’s easy for your message to get fuzzy. We help you focus your positioning and build offers that make it easy for clients to say “yes.”
- Specialization Clarification: Sort through the services you can provide and define the ones you should lead with.
- Offer Design: Create service tiers, retainers, and project packages that align with how your clients actually buy.
- Pricing Strategy: Use value, effort, and local market context to guide pricing — not just “what others charge.”
- Message & Story: Translate technical work into language that resonates with decision-makers and end-users.
Ideal Client Radar™ & Outreach
Instead of broadcasting to everyone, we use data to point your limited time and marketing budget toward the clients who are most likely to value your expertise.
- Ideal Client Profiles: Define by industry, size, geography, and problem set.
- Local Data & Lists: Build curated lists of organizations, partners, and households aligned with those profiles.
- Outreach Design: Invitation-style emails, mail, and relationship plays (not spam) to start conversations.
- Feedback & Iteration: See which profiles respond and refine who gets your attention next quarter.
Built Around Your Practice, Not Someone Else’s Template
Whether you’re a solo consultant, a small studio, or a professional firm with a few staff, we keep the process focused and practical.
