Thinking of hiring us for consulting?

Here’s a quick FAQ about working with us:

NOT USED
Am I a good client fit?

TRAINING
We have provided training programs on our proprietary Convince Me Method to Fortune 500 companies like SAP, Goldman Sachs, and Facebook.

CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS
We advise CEOs of top-tier companies and association leaders on how to resolve a crisis quickly and effectively. World-renowned crisis expert Adele Cehrs is a contributor to the Wall Street Journal’s Crisis of the Week column and has twice addressed United Nations officials on communications and conflict. Chip Massey worked as an FBI special agent and hostage negotiator for 22 year and regularly comments on breaking news. We’ve handled crises of all kinds–and we’re eager to take on yours. 

EXECUTIVE VISIBILITY
For executive visibility, we work with executives (Directors or above) looking to make a career move or get noticed in their industry through media or speaking engagements.

How do you get started?
Getting started typically takes us 5 – 7 business days. This includes performing a quick diagnostic assessment of your business and determining how we can help. For crisis communications work, we can start within hours once the contract is signed and we receive your wire transfer.

What does a typical engagement cost?
Our engagements typically cost between $10,000 — $100K.  If you’re dealing with a crisis situation, our assessments run between $15,000 — $30,000 to quickly get you up and running with a real-time solution.  

For executive visibility, projects are customized to meet individual goals. Our minimum level of engagement is $7,500 – $25,000.

Our price range for elite training programs depends on the size of the staff being trained, whether it is in person or Zoom, and other variables.

Where and how do you work?
We are based in Washington DC and NYC. While we have support staff, Adele and Chip are your primary, day-to-day contacts, so rest assured you will never get “the B team.” We typically meet with clients on a bi-weekly basis.
