Besides his freelance work, this visual artist dreams of selling his skills as a product instead as a service to companies. He was looking for the next step in his long-term strategy.
challenge
This visual artist wanted to expand his current webshop by marketing existing products and launching new products. He expected a clear plan of this personal project based on his goals with clearly challenging achievable intermediate deadlines. The progress he can sense and motivates.
results
He has a vision of how his products should be made sustainable and has an eye for detail how it should look. Focused research to fabric, finding the right production partners, the proper fit, packaging, distribution channels was the starting point of our collaboration. Through an intensive period of collaboration, he has gained a holistic insight into his own company and knows how to prioritise his personal projects.
the impact
In addition to finding the right production partners, he was able to create 3 new products. At the end of our cooperation he could already have sold about 30 of them. By offering him different planning methods during our collaboration, such as sending screen shots of his agenda, placing fixed blocks in his schedule for invoicing and administration, taking breaks, putting out notifications, keeping a backlog of all his ideas, moving them to a minimalistic week to do list, these are methods he still maintains at this moment. He has more control over his daily schedule.
“Katrijn her positive attitude & goal driven motivation was very contagious. Her supportive role within my own little one-man-salsa-band was quite the eye opening experience.”
