As small business owners, we’re prepared for a lot of things, whether it’s a seasonal shift in sales or an unexpected employee absence we have to step in and cover.  But we’ve never seen anything like the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving us uncertain about how to cope in these strange times.  We know that this is a scary and isolating time both personally and professionally, and hope you’re staying safe and healthy. 

Having to pivot as an entrepreneur can be stressful -- but it can also be a time of innovation and growth.  All good pivots start with great questions, and there are three business model aspects you should be exploring when deciding on potential pivots:

• Value proposition: What value do you deliver with your product or service?
• Value networks: How do you deliver and monetize your product or service?
• Target customers: Who receives and benefits from what you provide?

Let us help you to create your coronavirus crisis management plan, repurpose your assets, and rewrite your business model to rebound during this shift in the economy.  Let's get creative, and break loose from traditional thinking about your business. "Pivot parties" are the time to be revolutionary!  Don't try to create pivot options in isolation. Cherie Martin and Associates is here for you and available to help you with planning for your business challenges related to the coronavirus.

How Does it Work?

1. Schedule a consultation with one of our consultants to tell us about your business goals. We'll help you determine which of our services you need, and in what order.
   
2. Purchase your items and services a la carte, or commit to a 6-month 1-year, or 2-year service agreement to take advantage of reduced rates. The longer you commit, the lower your rates will be.
3. Select a subscription plan that fits your budget: 5-hours, 20-hours, and 80+-hours of service per month are available. The more hours you buy, the less you'll pay per hour.
4. Each month of your service agreement, use the hours you've subscribed to for any of our services: you can mix and match service offerings as your project progresses and your needs change. Any unused hours that month will roll-over, so you can save up hours for a big upcoming project with no use-it-or-lose-it-pressure.
5. If you run out of hours in a month but need to get it done fast, subscribers get to purchase additional hours at your locked-in subscription rate, not the a la carte rate.
