Prepare the details that turn a first conversation into a useful strategy session. A practical checklist for owners, marketing leaders and new businesses.
Start with the business
Write a short description of your company, who it serves and the problem it solves. Identify the services or products you want to grow and the markets in which you actually operate.
- Business name, website and public contact details
- Primary services and priority customers
- Current locations and realistic service areas
- Short-term objectives and longer-term ambitions
Gather the evidence
Bring existing logos, brand guidelines, website pages and campaign examples. Add customer questions, feedback and the reasons people choose your company. Use information you have permission to share; remove private customer details.
- Current identity and messaging
- Useful customer feedback without personal data
- Competitors customers compare you with
- Existing marketing channels and known constraints
Define a useful next step
List the decisions you need help making, the people who will approve the work and any real deadline. A budget range and the internal time available will help shape a realistic scope. This checklist prepares a conversation; it does not replace the discovery process.
