My self-recommendation

Googling business development or business consulting or freelance strategy development (or any of the other creative names, which people in my field call themselves these days!) you will get a ton of returned results. These will range from free “impartial” services, to those meant only for the Fortune 500’s.

Often when I speak to clients, I have to let them understand why they should work with me. In other words “What makes DF Studios special?” How are my services different from everyone else out there?

Here are 8 reasons why

1. It’s personal – the DF Studios service has been described as “…hiring a best friend and business partner”. I do not offer any of that detached, I-know-more-than-you stuff. Just a good old fashioned one (with many resources) to one relationship. Most importantly, my interpersonal skills mean I am very good at understanding your situation. Your shoes are my size! Pitches, presentations etc, you will not walk alone.

2. More than just the business – While you need to know when you’ll break even, how you’ll enter the market place and how much you’ll sell your fantastic product and service for; a huge key to your success is YOU! Without the right attitude, state and strength of mind, as well as personal growth, your chances of success are slim. Understanding this and applying infectious positivity is something I’m sure your high street bank’s business service doesn’t really cater to.

3. Resources – With an excellent knowledge of web tools, resources and modern business principles which have changed the face of business dramatically in recent years, your business can be powered on an excellent, reliable platform. In addition, I have a network of professionals in most necessary fields, and this saves you time and money because together, we can avoid trial and error.

4. Value – Without a compromise on the quality of the service offered, the value of the DF Studios service is exceptional.

5. Less emotional “noise” – of course I care about your project and I want it to succeed as much as you do. Nonetheless, it is inevitable that you have higher emotional attachment to you idea/ business than I do. Like everything else, this has its pluses and minuses. One of the latter includes a lack of objective perspective which can affect crystal clear decision making. Using logic, intelligence and common sense as guideline, I will work with you closely around key decisions to ensure best results. I also say why don’t you focus on what you do best (which is having the idea and believing in it) while I do my thing and create you a platform to run your business on.

6. The bigger picture – coming in from “outside” allows me to see the bigger picture very quickly and going beyond that, we would work together to create a realistic practical step by step plan to get there

7. Ask past clients – I can say all I like, but perhaps a previous client would be more convincing than me? Feel free to speak to any of my previous clients.

8. Simplicity – Simplicity is fantastic. It is nice and tidy, easier to deal with. I like to keep things this way as much as possible and I present material in the most simplified form possible.
