First Decision

A service, or an engagement?

Almost every enquiry resolves into one of three shapes. Read these three, then go straight to the table that applies to you.

One deliverable

A service solves a single problem

You know exactly what is missing. A CV that has not kept pace, a LinkedIn profile written for a job you left two roles ago, a biography a conference has asked for by Friday. Buy the one thing, and buy it now.

One campaign

An engagement runs the whole move

Several services, one senior writer, one intake, one narrative. Everything argues the same case rather than three documents disagreeing quietly with each other, and the combined price is lower than buying the parts separately.

One scope

Priced on application means measured, not hidden

Four offerings are quoted rather than listed, because board history, existing material and design depth genuinely vary. You receive a written quote with deliverables and turnaround set out, and nothing begins until you accept it.

Signature Engagements

The five engagements, line by line

Each engagement is built from the services below it, delivered by one senior writer from a single intake. The saving shown is the difference between the engagement price and the same services bought separately at launch pricing.

Executive Services

The nine services, and what each one is for

Every turnaround below is counted in business days from your completed intake questionnaire rather than from the date you paid, so the clock starts when your writer has what they need.

Head to Head

Three comparisons that decide most cases

These are the three questions our consultants answer more than any others. Each has a short test at the end that settles it.

Report or report

Positioning Strategy or Role Suitability Report?

They are easily confused, because both are advisory reports at a similar price. They face in opposite directions. The Positioning Strategy looks inward and defines your value proposition, narrative and messaging. The Role Suitability Report looks outward and assesses your competitiveness, the roles genuinely open to you, your gaps and the salary you can command.

The test. If the problem is how you are being read, buy the Positioning Strategy. If the problem is what you should be applying for, buy the Role Suitability Report. If both are true, Elite contains the first and Advantage contains the second.
Document or profile

Executive CV or LinkedIn Optimisation?

Most executives need both, and they are not the same piece of writing. Your CV is read by hiring managers, panels and search firms, so it carries the confidential detail and the sharper metrics. Your LinkedIn profile is public and read by peers, clients and colleagues, so it works from the same facts in deliberately broader language.

The test. Buy the CV first if you are applying now. Add LinkedIn when your search is visible, and order the two together so the profile drafts within 24 hours of your CV being approved.
Portfolio or portfolio

Executive Career Portfolio or Leadership Portfolio?

Both are designed documents delivered in PowerPoint and PDF, and the difference is the argument they make. The Career Portfolio evidences a career, with history, achievements, projects, qualifications and case studies. The Leadership Portfolio argues a leadership philosophy, with strategic impact, governance and credentials carried in infographics, graphs and charts.

The test. If you are proving a track record, take the Career Portfolio at $390. If you are being assessed as a leader, by a board, a search committee or an owner, take the Leadership Portfolio.
Included As Standard

The same on every line of both tables

Whichever route you take, these do not change and are never charged as extras.

Intake, not a scheduled call

A secure questionnaire, tailored to what you bought and completed in your own time. A telephone conversation with a dedicated consultant is available on request at any stage.

Revisions free for 30 days

Free revisions for 30 days from first delivery. Afterwards, updates to existing information stay free, and edits needing new writing carry a small fee quoted first.

Editable file and finished PDF

Word and PDF for documents, PowerPoint and PDF for portfolios. You always keep an editable master, so a change of telephone number never needs us.

Written by a person, in confidence

Human-crafted by a senior writer working to your brief. Your identity and your documents are never disclosed or shared, and an NDA is available on request.

In a hurry? A paid 48-hour expedite is available on document services at $100, compressing your first draft to two business days from completed intake. It depends on writer availability, so ask before or immediately after purchase, and nothing is charged if we cannot take the slot. Already bought something and want to move up? Speak to a consultant before buying again and we will quote the sensible route into the engagement you want rather than letting you pay twice. Ask on WhatsApp.

Questions

Before you choose

What is the difference between a service and a signature engagement?
A service is one deliverable that solves one problem, such as an Executive CV or a Role Suitability Report. A signature engagement combines several services into one campaign, built by one senior writer from one intake so that every document argues the same case, and it costs less than buying the same services separately.
Which signature engagement should I choose?
Choose Executive Foundation if you are ready to go to market and need the toolkit. Choose Executive Advantage if you are not certain where you genuinely compete, because it adds the Role Suitability Report and your biography. Choose Executive Elite if you know the role you want and intend to win it, because it adds positioning and interview preparation. Choose Board and Leadership if you are pursuing non-executive and board appointments. If none of those describes you, ask a consultant and we will tell you honestly which is the smallest one that will do.
Can I start with one service and add to it later?
Yes. Executives frequently start with a single service and add to it once they see the work. Before you buy anything a second time, speak to your consultant or message us on WhatsApp, and we will quote the sensible route into the engagement you want rather than letting you pay twice for the same service. Adding later also has a practical benefit: the intake work is already done, so a second service usually starts faster than the first one did.
Why are four offerings priced on application?
The Leadership Portfolio, the Board Pack, the Board and Leadership Engagement and Bespoke Retained Advisory are genuinely variable, because the work depends on your board history, the material you already have, the depth of design required and the markets you are targeting. Publishing a single figure would mean overcharging some clients and underquoting others. You request a quote, we ask a small number of questions to understand the scope, and you receive a written quote with the deliverables and turnaround set out. Nothing is charged and nothing begins until you accept it.
How long will the work take?
Turnarounds run from 3 to 5 business days for document services to 8 to 10 business days for the Leadership Portfolio, and every one of them is counted from your completed intake questionnaire rather than from the date you paid. A paid 48-hour expedite is available on document services at $100. If you are working to a hard deadline, tell us before you buy so we can confirm it is achievable.
Is launch pricing ending?
Launch pricing carries no published end date, but it will not run indefinitely. The standard price is shown against every launch price on this page so you can see exactly what the difference is.
Will I speak to anyone before the work starts?
Your secure intake questionnaire, completed in your own time and with your records in front of you, briefs your writer fully and replaces a scheduled call. A telephone conversation with a dedicated consultant is available on request, before you buy and at any point during your engagement. You will speak with a consultant rather than the writer, which protects your confidentiality and their focus, and nothing is lost in the handover.
