How do I know if Richard Assists can help my business?
Your experience begins with a one-hour FREE interview. Richard Assists isn’t the right fit for every business owner, but we are the answer for many. Fill out the contact form here to schedule a no-obligation interview. If Richard Assists is the right fit, we’ll delve in and do a deeper discovery of your most pressing business issues. We meet over the phone or come to your office. Then we’ll get to work on the parameters, timeline, and plan of approach.
Will my project be ongoing?
Richard Assists is comprised of savvy business professionals who understand that trap of continuous projects and hidden fees. To that end, Richard Assists does NOT do “add-ons.” The work parameters are set. We provide you between one and three vetted options to resolve your problem.
What results should I expect?
Each business is unique. Your Richard Assists Director will work with you to discover the plan and parameters to meet your individual needs. Some problems are quite complex, some are relatively simple. It all begins with your one-hour interview, where we determine the plan. If, for some reason, a project requires additional work, it is agreed to in writing--no surprises and no unexpected fees. A complete final report will be shared with you for your reference.
What are Richard Assists rates?
Because Richard Assists is different than a traditional consulting firm, coach, or business advisor, we bill a little differently. We understand time is important (which is why you need more of it). We bill our projects in blocks of five-hour increments at a competitive rate. You set the timeline. You hold the cards. We never exceed a timeline beyond our engagement agreement without your further approval. No on-going, open-ended contracts. You simply set your time with your Richard Assists Director and pay the engagement upon signing. We take credit card online or company check. We understand your business has a budget to follow.
Does Richard Assists have references?
Due to the sensitive and confidential nature of many of our client relationships, Richard Assists doesn’t typically share results. Our clients’ identities are always protected. We do offer project result case studies here for a few key projects for your reference, shared with client permission. We sign an NDA with each client, even before our engagement agreement.
