Name the bottleneck
Start with the recurring task or decision that is slowing the business down. Is it catalog maintenance, a store rebuild, marketing coordination, or day-to-day operations? A specific starting point creates a better conversation.
Bring the right context
Prepare a short overview of your products, channels, available resources, and current responsibilities. Share account information only through agreed, appropriate access methods.
Ask for a defined scope
A useful proposal explains deliverables, ownership, communication, dependencies, and exclusions. Ask which costs are recurring and which tasks need your approval.
Agree on useful reporting
Choose measures that help you make decisions. Progress reports should explain what changed, what was learned, what remains unresolved, and which action comes next.
