Are you ready for
the first conversation?

What needs to be decided on the first call?

Define the business problem, the decision or project that needs attention and whether the engagement is a fit. Share what is happening, what you have tried, the timeline and the budget. The next step is a proposed scope of work.

What is the minimum investment?

Plan for a minimum investment of $5,000–$10,000, depending on scope. Fees reflect the decisions, deliverables and time required. The proposal sets out the work, responsibilities, schedule and price before the engagement begins.

Who will I work with?

Elizabeth Malson personally leads engagements and does most of the work. She has led commercial teams at Roche, Medtronic, Dentsply Sirona and Curia. She also built US Nanny Institute into a profitable business and founded US Nanny Association and Executive Echo. Her experience covers product launches, budget decisions, marketing and commercial operations.
