Is this your job or do you do this on the side?

This is my full-time career since 2014. I’m in my 11th year enjoying learning and progressing as a support for enterprise healthcare tech companies.

 

Are You Insured?

Yes! I can provide that information and certificates if needed.

 

What’s your schedule?

My client work days are Monday-Thursday.

I also take off the week of Thanksgiving, mid-Dec to Mid-Jan, and some time in the summer (but I’ll definitely give you plenty of notice).

 

Do you work on retainer? Will I be locked in?

That is an option but not a requirement at all. If you’d like to set a monthly budget we can adjust project timelines as needed, but you’ll have maximum possible flexibility in how we work together. 

 

What are your prices like?

I generally work by the project to maintain alignment on content spend, but hourly rates are available. You can learn more here.

 

Do you have a team? What if we need to scale?

I offer multiple options including AI-enable content atomization and a rich network of provider partners

 

Do you do all the writing?

I create all original content. Scaling using AI is an option if we want to atomize for specific decision-maker roles. I do outsource proofreading for longer documents 

 

How do you compare to other options like agencies?

It’s not really an either-or question. Vendors use my services to augment everything from in-house content shops, to external agencies, to small teams. This should help you compare.

 

How long does it take you to turn something around?

My TAT on a first draft varies depending on what we’re working on, but here’s what you can use as a general guideline from the time of completion of source materials (interviews, briefs, internal docs, etc.)

Estimates/Proposals: 2-3 days

Blogs: 1-2 weeks 

Whitepapers: 2-3 weeks

Case studies: 2-3 weeks

Videos: 1 week

Social Media: 1 week

Sales collateral: 1-2 weeks

Edits: Depends on the extent, but usually 2-3 days

 

 

Do you work with a contract?

Yes! It’s pretty straightforward and it lays out terms including…

 

  • Giving you complete rights to the use of the work product
  • Payment and invoice terms
  • Terms of severability of the relationship
  • Clarification of our relationship as non-employment based

I’m always open to discussing terms.

 

What’s the best way to schedule a meeting?

For an introduction, grab some time on my calendar here. For something longer to discuss project work, shoot me an email (growth@locutushealth.com). (I’ll need a minimum 24-hrs head’s up)

 

 

What about hurricanes?

I’m based South Florida so hurricanes can be a challenge! But I’ve been through 9 seasons with almost no impact on my clients. Mostly because I’ll let you know if one looks threatening, but I also have backup plans if I do lose power or internet long term.

 

 

Is there another way to contact you?

Email is best, but I can give you my VA’s info if you need an alternate.
