Get in touch

Tell me what goes wrong, and how often.

Those two answers are worth more than a description of the company. A recurring failure with a frequency attached is already most of a diagnosis.

One engagement at a time, so the answer is sometimes a date rather than a yes.

  1. 01

    A twenty-minute call

    Free. Mostly me asking what breaks and how often.

  2. 02

    A straight yes or no

    Including a no. About a third of calls end there and everybody's week is better for it.

  3. 03

    A proposal, if yes

    Weeks down the left, deliverables against each, and a total. Two pages.

  4. 04

    A start date

    Usually three to six weeks out. One engagement at a time, always.

A good first message

Names one thing that goes wrong, says roughly how often, and says what has already been tried. Three sentences is a good first message and a page is not a better one.

$6,500 a week, $1,800 for a single day of watching with nothing owed afterwards.

Under ten and I will usually tell you to ring back in two years.

Week one is on site, so distance matters.

This is a demonstration form on a demonstration site. It checks what you type and then discards it — nothing is sent, stored or read by anybody.

Third Chair Consulting is a fictional practice created for demonstration. Rates and engagement lengths are illustrative, no client is named, and no result is quantified anywhere on the site.
