How an engagement runs
You book a call with Silkdrive and describe the market, the stage you are at and the decision you are actually trying to make. We check that against the specialisms listed on this profile and, where it fits, make the introduction ourselves.
Scope, contract and fee are then agreed with the consultant. The introduction itself costs nothing; what an engagement costs is set once the scope is, because a two-week diagnostic and a year of entry support are not the same purchase.
Where the fit is wrong, we say so before the introduction rather than after it, and name whoever in the network sits closer to the problem.
