Who would have thought?

You just clicked on the consulting button. To be honest I didn’t expect you to, since most normal people hate consultants. Why? Because social media has given every Tom, Dick and Harry with a Twitter account the opportunity to call themselves one, to be assholes and to charge a lot of money for information you can easily find yourself if you know how to spell g-o-o-g-l-e. Man, it’s hard nowadays to separate the assholes from the non-assholes.

So thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt. Tom, Dick and Harry are no friends of mine either. And for the asshole part. I’m happy I have one. And lucky to never been called one (yet).

But enough about assholes already. Let’s get to business.

If you’re starting out in busines, are serious about it and need some help, you can call or email me. We will set a date and get things going for you.  If you are not a newbie entrepreneur and want to get down and dirty right away. What the hell are you doing here!? Head over to The New Biz Company. That’s where we help you guys out.

Back to the aspiring and beginning entrepreneurs. This is what I’m offering (until the end of September 2010):

One on one practical and inspirational media and business consults.
1 hour. 85,-* (**)

But only if the following appeals to you:

Fuck Realistic. Be Fantastic.
If Your Are Not Making A Difference. Don’t Make It.
Crazy Is Not Enough. Be Insane. Be All That Is You. And More.

What!? Take it easy. I know you don’t want to waste your time on a bunch of crazy inspirational quotes. In the end I’m all for getting down to business too. So, what I’m really saying is we can work on:

Creative Business Thinking
Social Media Strategy
Personal Branding

Yeah, that means talking about your product, your service, your marketing, your sales, your brand and how Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and blogging fits in with all that scary stuff.

A few answers to some questions I aspect will be the frequently asked ones pretty soon:

Where will we meet?
Preferably somewhere where they serve good coffee or great wine. But you tell me. We’ll work something out.

When will we meet?
I’m busy but flexible. That’s why I like my life. So, we’ll figure that out together as well. But keep in mind this offer stands until the end of September. After that some things are changing around here.

Are you any good?
Yes. But for a little bit of objectivity, this is what some of my clients have said about working with me:

“Ingrid is an apostle of social media in the Netherlands. She is a thinker with great skills, an inspirational teamplayer and capable of getting to the soul of media and business.”
Paul Gremmen – Redactie Partners

“Ingrid rocks. She’s resourceful, thorough and funny. It’s awesome to get advice from a new media expert who also has a great eye for spotting creative business opportunities .”
Karlijn Fiesler – StudentenWerk

“Ingrid’s business insight and advice have brougt creativity, strategy and more profit into our company. We would have never expected that consultancy could be fun AND effective. She never loses sight of what is really important. If you have the opportunity to work with Ingrid. Take it.”
Wam Morks – Digitaal Pakhuis Nederland

“Working with Ingrid is a blast!”
Nancy Tjalondo – FreshCookies

Sounds good. Now what?
Give me a call or send me an email. I’ll get back to you asap.

Well, that’s all for now folks. I put some pretty little stars in this texst. If you want to know why keep reading. If not, catch you later. Hope you enjoyed it so far!

*85,-  is a lot of money if you don’t have it. And if you are just starting out in business you might think you can’t afford me. If you really want to work with me. Think again. Be creative. When you figure something out or have some crazy plan or offer or whatever. Let me know. I’m not an asshole. I’m here to help. We can be creative together.

(**) I’m from Holland, so the 85,- means euro’s. If you don’t know what euro’s are, that probably means you don’t live in Europe. But that’s isn’t a problem. We have the internet. We can still connect and find away to work together. If you DO know what euro’s are but DON’T live in Holland, good for you. I like internationally orientated people. We should definitly find a way to work together!
