What You Can Expect
FAQs
1. What types of consultancy projects do you work on?
We focus on people and growth in the property sector. Typical projects include: restructuring teams, opening new offices or regions, improving performance of existing branches, M&A support (integration and people strategy), designing self-employed/partner models, and fixing issues around culture, leadership, retention and succession. If it touches people, growth or structure, it’s in our lane.
2. How do you work with us – is it a one-off project or ongoing support?
Both are possible. Some clients bring us in for a defined project with clear deliverables and an end date (e.g. “restructure our sales team” or “design and launch a self-employed model”). Others prefer a retained, ongoing relationship where we act as a sounding board and partner to the leadership team. We’ll agree the right shape together based on your goals, timescales and budget.
3. What does your consultancy process look like?
We don’t arrive with a pre-written playbook. We start by listening, understanding your numbers, structure, market, culture and where the pressure points really are. Then we’ll agree a clear diagnosis and plan with you: what we’re doing, why, and what success looks like. Implementation can include workshops, 1:1 time with key people, leadership coaching and hands-on support, not just a report that gathers dust.
4. How do you charge for consultancy?
We keep it simple and transparent. Most consultancy work is priced as either a fixed-fee project with defined phases, or a monthly retainer for ongoing advisory and support. Day rates are used where that makes more sense (for example, on-site days with your team). We’ll always agree fees, scope and payment structure before we start, so you know exactly what you’re committing to.
5. What kind of results should we expect – and how will we measure them?
We tie our work to the outcomes that matter to you: that might be increased revenue, improved branch or team performance, better retention of key people, smoother integration after an acquisition, or a successful launch of a new model or service line. At the outset we’ll agree what success looks like and how we’ll measure it, then review progress with you regularly so you can see the impact.
