Grab a free introductory consult

As the market improves I'm looking for new customers, and my offer to you is a free introductory consultancy session at your premises. I won't try to disguise the fact that this is a sales initiative, but the content of the session is yours to dictate - I won't be running a sales pitch.

Here's the deal. If you are within 2 hours drive of Brackley in Northants (a rough square encompassing Bristol, London, Birmingham and Cambridge) then I will come to your location or a convenient meeting point and spend an hour with you talking through unified communications and collaboration matters. I won't do a training session, or a market summary, this is ad-hoc one-to-one (or "few-to-one") consulting, chalk-and-talk, whiteboarding, you know the kind of thing.

To take advantage of this offer, just contact me via email or phone to arrange a time and place (links are on the left of this page).

If you see value in further engagement then I'd be very happy to continue to work with you on a commercial basis, but if not then we can simply exchange business cards. There is no committment on your part.

If you do want to benefit from my services in the future, then I can help your business to:

• Identify business needs and make communications buying decisions
• Form a communications strategy, internal and external, for your organisation or business
• Put together RFIs/RFPs
• Create technical documentation
• Improve knowledge on telecommunication technologies and their use (one-on-one instruction, group training, and training materials)
• Hold effective technical meetings

I have hourly, daily and weekly rates and can be retained for long-term assistance on an ad hoc or regular basis if needed.
