FOR SOLO CONSULTANTS AND MICRO-AGENCY FOUNDERS DOING $35-50K MRR

You've built the business.
Now why isn't it growing?

We help solo consultants and micro-agency founders break through the $35-50k MRR ceiling — with a clear offer, a consistent pipeline, and messaging that converts.

Does this sound like you?

You've built something real.
So why does growth feel this hard?

  • You'd like to earn more, but not at the cost of your family, your health, or your sanity.
  • You're too reliant on referrals and the revenue is lumpy and unpredictable.
  • You know your offer works — clients get results — but you can't explain it clearly enough to close consistently.
  • Growth has plateaued and you can't see the reason from inside the business.
  • You've tried agencies, coaches, and courses — and walked away with decks but no traction.
The new reality

When buyers can't tell you apart,
price is the only lever left.

The market is more crowded than it's ever been, and AI now writes the same competent, generic proposal your prospect could get from anyone. When your expertise sounds like everyone else's, you stop being a choice and start being a quote — and the only question left is "how much?"

Blend in and compete on price. Or own your story and command it.

The offer was the constraint the whole time.

The Narrative answer

Three things.
One growing business.

01

Clarify the Offer

Ditch the custom-scope chaos. Land on one problem, for one person, via one packaged process that commands what you're worth.

02

Build the Pipeline

Build a repeatable system for getting found and converting the right clients — without becoming someone you're not or burning out on content.

03

Get the Messaging Right

Learn to talk about what you do so the right people immediately say "that's exactly what I need."

The difference

Two consultants, same skills.
Only one is growing.

The generic consultant
  • Sounds like every other expert in the category
  • Competes on price because nothing else stands out
  • Lives on lumpy, unpredictable referrals
  • Rambles for 20 minutes explaining what they do
  • Gets commoditized as AI floods the market
The Narrative consultant
  • Owns one clear problem the right buyer recognizes instantly
  • Commands a premium for a packaged, obvious-fit offer
  • Runs a repeatable pipeline that fills every month
  • Says it in one line that makes prospects lean in
  • Becomes the named choice no algorithm can replace
How it works

The Narrative method.
Four moves, one outcome.

We don't start with tactics. We start with the constraint — then work it until the business moves.

§ The Narrative Guarantee

If the offer, the pipeline, and the messaging aren't materially better — we keep working until they are.

Every engagement is built around three outcomes. If we're three months in and those things aren't materially better, we don't disappear and we don't hand you a refund — we keep working with you until they are.

Founders, in their own words

From stuck
to scaling.

"I was stuck at the same number for two years — working more hours just to stay flat. One quarter after we fixed the offer, I closed two retainers at nearly double my old rate. For the first time I wasn’t the cheapest option in the room, and nobody blinked at the price."

Marcus D.
Fractional CMO · was stuck at $32K MRR

"I always knew I was good. I could never explain why in a way that actually landed. Chris helped me say it in one sentence — and now prospects finish my pitch for me. The forty-minute ‘let me explain what I do’ calls are just gone."

Priya N.
Brand strategist · $250K solo practice

"My revenue used to live and die on referrals — a huge month, then silence, then panic. We built a pipeline around how I actually think, and now there are real conversations on my calendar every single week. I stopped refreshing my inbox hoping someone would remember me."

The methodology is also
a book.
