Value offering

I provide value to individual and business clients from:

• 20+ years experience as a freelancer
• 10+ years hiring other freelancers
• 1x recovery from stroke
• 7+ years successful consultative sales to large organisations (growing revenues from 5 to 7 figures)
• 2x recoveries from burnout
• 4+ years coaching individuals and advising education and wellness businesses on limitless growth

For individual clients

I’ve been freelancing since the age of 16 – that’s 22 years ago at the time of writing. I know the trade, its pitfalls and opportunities. I’m also married to another freelancer — so I get the relationship and family dynamics.

I coach fellow freelancers and solopreneus as they build their authentic, deliberate and prosperous life, aligning Self, Health and Wealth.

As an individual, you may find value in our work together if:

• you feel free, but are missing a direction
• you have challenges balancing growth and burn-out
• you are uncertain about how to price your services
• you feel drained by your work
• you feel clients are taking advantage of your kindness
• your health is suffering from your flexible hours
• your relationships and your freelance lifestyle are not aligned
• you have no long-term growth strategy
• you are not sure of what you REALLY want (from business or life itself) – and that’s fine – we’ll work it out together.

To check availability for 1-to-1 work you can reach me via leo@leodemelo.com and mention why you’d like to work together.

For businesses

I work exclusively with education and wellness businesses – simply because they are the 2 industries I’m most excited to add value to.

Reasons for working together may include:

• Your business growth has stagnated
• You find that your sales strategy is generally working, but you’re on auto-pilot mode and could use fresh insights
• The business landscape has changed and you need to re-define your long-term growth strategy
• You feel your long-term growth is limited by internal or external factors

If you want to open-mindedly discuss how to strategically grow your education or wellness business, do get in touch with a brief overview – and we’ll get a call scheduled.

Fees

To ensure full alignment between value delivered and compensation, I take a creative, case-by-case approach for all clients.

It requires greater time investment on my part, yet guarantees that we both feel that we can and want to work together.
