How Claire's Magic Mix Works
Monthly Commitment
For just £300, get 7.5 hours of expert support each month. You get 7.5 hours of dedicated support per month (equivalent to one full day), spread out to suit your needs. This can be routine 2-hour calls per week, occasional quick discussions, or a full day for critical deadlines.
Flexible Hours
Your hours can roll over from week to week within the same month, providing maximum flexibility. Please note, unused hours do not roll over month-to-month, similar to a phone contract – the value is in having Claire readily available when you need her.​
Client Driven
It's on you to make the most of your allocated hours. Claire will stay in touch with agreed touch-base times to ensure you're getting the support you need.
Diverse Support
Claire is available for quick calls, in-depth advice, coaching sessions, contributing to meetings, or reviewing/editing documents as needed. Her support is adaptable to your deadlines and evolving needs.
Strategic Advisory
Leverage Claire's expertise on pitch decks or your website as an advisor to reassure investors and provide ongoing strategic support.
