Methodology

Consulting Methodology & Path Forward

01

Mutual NDA

We start by executing a mutual NDA, ensuring privacy and that both the client and SDJ Global Consulting are comfortable being fully transparent during the Initial Consultation.

02

Initial Consultation

A one-hour phone or video consultation in three parts: an initial download from the client, a clarifying question-and-answer session, and an initial framework of a scope of work outline.

03

Scope of Work

SDJ Global Consulting takes one week to lay out a full scope of work and define all resources and assets required to complete the project.

04

Alignment

Together we review the fully developed scope, align expectations and outcomes, and define exact deliverables.

05

Engagement

Required adjustments are made and presented. Hourly and project rates are defined, timeline is agreed upon, and the initial contract is executed.

06

Execution

Project Timeline executed with weekly and monthly KPI goal review and delivery

Our Approach

We start with a consumer-first mindset.
01
What gives your company the right to be in the business or offer a specific product category?
02
Why has your company chosen the specific product or business path it finds itself on, and why do consumers care?
03
What is your company or product's reason to exist, and how do you successfully deliver that message to your targeted end consumer?
04
What solution does your product offer, and is there a group of consumers that both matter and care?
05
How does your company deliver the message for your product's solution, ensuring it excites, captures, and offers the targeted consumer to you to win at the end of the consumer path to purchase?
05
Does your product deliver a 5-Star Consumer Experience to the end consumer that delights and delivers that consumer into your brand fold going forward?
