Begin a conversation

Tell me what's on the agenda.

Initial conversations are confidential, complimentary, and direct with the principal. Most engagements come through referral; cold inquiries get the same response window. I reply within two business days, and if I'm not the right fit I'll tell you who is.

Project intake

Notify Ashton of an upcoming project need or engagement support.

Brief detail goes a long way. After you submit, Brandon reads personally and replies within two business days — with a calendar link if there's a fit, or a candid referral if there isn't.

Prefer not to use the form? Email brandon@ashtonstrategies.com directly — same response time.

By submitting, you confirm the contents of this message do not contain material non-public information. I'll respond from brandon@ashtonstrategies.com within two business days. Mutual NDA available before any substantive discussion.

02 / What happens nextProcess

From form submission to first conversation: typically four business days.

01

Within two business days

I review your message personally, check for any conflicts of interest, and send you a calendar link if it makes sense to talk.

02

Within four business days

A 30-minute introductory call. Mutual NDA in place before going deep. Direct, candid, and short.

03

Within a week

If it makes sense to move forward, you receive a written engagement proposal — scope, format (Sprint / Engagement / Fractional), milestones, and fees.

04

Within 2–4 weeks

Engagement begins, scheduling-dependent. The principal you spoke with is the principal you work with. That doesn't change.
