Beyond one-time projects, my 'Ongoing Support & Retainer Services' offer a continuous partnership, providing proactive HR, Operations, and Digital Systems expertise on an ongoing basis. This model ensures you have dedicated support to address evolving needs, maintain efficiency, and navigate challenges without the overhead of an in-house department.

Why Ongoing Support Matters for Your Business

Many organizations face the dilemma of needing continuous expert insight but lacking the resources for full-time staff. Reactive, one-off solutions often only fix symptoms. Ongoing retainer support provides a proactive approach, identifying potential issues before they become problems, ensuring continuous strategic alignment, and fostering consistent progress. It’s about building a long-term relationship for sustained operational health and strategic development.

The Customization Process

Because every organization's needs are unique, ongoing support plans are fully tailored to fit your specific requirements and budget. The process begins with a detailed discovery call to thoroughly understand your challenges and goals. Following this, a custom proposal outlining the scope of support, deliverables, and tiered monthly retainer fee options based on your commitment length (e.g., 3, 6, or 12 months) will be provided for your review. This ensures you receive precisely the level of ongoing partnership that drives your success, with clear options for long-term value

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical commitment period for an ongoing support retainer?

Agreements are structured to provide flexibility and value. Options typically begin with an initial commitment period (e.g., 3 months), with more favorable rates available for longer commitments (e.g., 6 or 12 months)

How is the monthly retainer fee determined?

The fee is based on the specific scope of services, the anticipated time commitment, and the complexity of your organization's needs, all of which are defined during your initial discovery call. Longer commitment periods typically offer a more cost-effective monthly rate.

Communication typically involves scheduled calls, email support, and access to a shared client portal for document exchange and progress tracking, as defined in your agreement.

Can the scope of ongoing support be adjusted over time if our needs change?

Yes, retainer agreements are flexible. Regular check-ins allow for adjustments to the scope of services as your organization's needs evolve, with mutual agreement.

How do I get started with an ongoing support retainer?

The first step is to schedule a complimentary discovery call. This allows for a discussion about your ongoing needs and for a custom proposal to be developed for your review.
