I. Methodology Templates

1. Marketing Methodology Playbook  (Trello Template)

This is the flagship resource with over 120 discreet steps and marketing tactics you can deploy during the course of your client engagement. Check off items as you complete them, add new ideas as you discover them, and turn this into your proprietary methodology that gets stronger with every client engagement.

I share a copy of this (customized) with every new client I work with and they’re unanimously blown away.

2. Client Operating System  (Trello Template)

Turn everything you do into a system your clients can use. Break down recurring tasks into daily, weekly monthly, quarterly, and annual checklists. Use this to store standard operating procedures you or your clients create, ensuring your work gets systemized, not just performed once during your engagement.

3. Market Research  (Airtable Template)

Market research makes all of your marketing and product development a lot easier and more effective. Using this template, you can gather things like competitors, target market pain points, influencers, guest post/presenting opportunities, resources, tools, online communities, feedback, links, and a LOT more.

4. Swipe File (Airtable Template) 

One of the best ways to save time creating new materials is by showing examples to your clients—both inside and outside of their industry. Capture, organize, comment on, and share things like social media creative, websites, advertisements, email newsletters, promotions, banners, and more.

II. Business Admin Templates

1. Onboarding Email  Template

Use this email template to get new clients onboarded in a quick and professional manner, allowing them to feel like you’ve got things under control from the moment they sign with you.

2. Organization Process 

All of my templates are shared in Google Docs and Google Sheets format. I show you how to copy and organize all of these shared client documents in Google Drive to keep everything related to your work neat and tidy. You’ll also use this system to keep the rest of your engagements organized.

3. Consulting Services Proposal Template

Use this template as the basis for your own advisory proposals. Includes the core sections you need to close large or big deals with minimal complexity involved.
