What to Bring to Your First Marketing Strategy Session

September 06, 2026•2 min read

You do not need a polished presentation for a useful strategy conversation. A clear description of your business and a few honest questions are a good starting point.

Bring the business goal

Explain what you would like to improve: more suitable inquiries, more booked appointments, better online sales, or a clearer website. Describe the services or products you most want to grow and the customers you can serve well.

If you have limited capacity, mention it. A plan to generate more work should fit the team that will answer the phone and deliver it.

Bring what you already know

Have your website address ready. Note what marketing you currently use and what seems to happen afterward. If you have reports, useful numbers include inquiries, appointments, sales, and spending over a defined period.

It is fine if those numbers are incomplete. Knowing what is missing helps identify the measurement work needed before confident decisions are possible.

Bring the questions customers ask

Common objections and points of confusion can shape advertising and website content. Write down the questions you answer repeatedly about price, timing, service area, suitability, or the process.

Also bring your own questions about fees, scope, ownership, and communication. You should understand any proposed paid work before agreeing to it.

How CHC’s session works

CHC’s free growth strategy session is a 30-minute phone conversation with Cameron. Use the booking page to choose an available time and check the displayed time zone. Follow the calling instructions shown on the booking page and in your appointment confirmation. We will discuss your goals and explore a practical next step; booking does not obligate you to purchase.

Choose your free strategy-session time and bring the questions that matter to your business.

Make your questions more specific

Before comparing proposals, use our five questions to ask a marketing agency to clarify scope, ownership, and the work your fee covers.

If you already have campaign reports, read what a useful marketing report should help you decide. Bring one decision you cannot make from your current numbers. That gives the conversation a concrete starting point.
