Career Transition Programme
First Fees Faster
The future beckons—but the job has gone and more importantly your salary has gone with it —and you are now selling the value you add by the £. Every hour that passes that you don’t or can’t bill is another hour of potential income you have lost — irretrievably lost – forever!
So getting to that first billing day fast is crucial. The sooner you do, the sooner you turn round the negative cash flow that invariably starts on the very first day of your new future.
Our aim is to help you get to that first “fee day” faster.
Who is it for?
The workshops are especially designed for senior executives who have already made or who are now thinking about making the transition from full-time employment to a life of independence – be that as a consultant, interim or NED.
100 days…..100 actions!
In your first 100 days you can expect to deal with at least 100 actions! – many of which you can of course anticipate based on your business experience but undoubtedly with as many again that will take you by total surprise. These will flow out of the core decisions you will make about such things as
- your new boss (!)
- your personal goals (and your partner’s goals for you!)
- your income potential (have you ever worked out your day rate?)
- and your income requirements (yes – these can be quite different!)
- your area of expertise and the customers you choose to target
- how you will organise your working life
- and many more.
These actions can be categorised into 7 broad headings. These will no doubt be familiar from your executive life. But you will see from the list below, with the exception of the customer section, they are all about you! Not your team, or the corporate support infrastructure, but you; you and your ability to take on the role of one-man-band, quickly and effectively so that you can turn the dreaded cash outflow into billed cash inflow!
- Leadership (You)
- People (You)
- Finance (Yours)
- Marketing (You)
- Customers (Them!)
- Operations (You)
- Admin (You)
We aim to conduct facilitated, fully interactive and participative workshop sessions, in groups, to enable you share and learn how to reach those “first fees faster”.
