Question 1

What exactly do you do at MEVS?

Accepted Answer

Think of me as your behind-the-scenes business fixer. I help small business owners reclaim their time and sanity by building systems that make sense—CRM setups, workflow automation, AI consulting, and strategic support that gets you back in your zone of genius.

Question 2

Do I need HoneyBook to work with you?

Accepted Answer

Nope! But if you're using (or want to use) HoneyBook, I can build it into your dream system. If are flying solo with spreadsheets, we can still get you streamlined—I work with what works for you.

Question 3

What are your hours?

Accepted Answer

As a firm advocate for time management, I meticulously allocate my working hours to ensure optimal productivity and focus. My schedule is as follows: Monday to Thursday (10 AM - 5 PM): My workweek is dedicated to serving my clients and managing business operations.

Mondays: Exclusively set aside for meetings, allowing for comprehensive discussions and planning.
Tuesdays and Thursdays: Focused on client work, dedicating my undivided attention to delivering high-quality services.
Wednesdays: My CEO days, where I concentrate on strategic business growth, internal projects, and overarching company goals.
Fridays: Reserved for personal development and HoneyBook Strategy sessions, ensuring continuous improvement and expert management of your projects.

This structured approach allows me to provide the highest level of service while maintaining a balance that fuels my passion for helping small businesses thrive.

Question 4

What makes MEVS different from other consultants or VAs?

Accepted Answer

I’m not just checking tasks off a list—I’m building structure and systems with you and for you. My approach is strategic, honest, a little sassy, and totally personalized. You’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and workflows that actually work.

Question 5

What if I’m not ready for a full CRM or consulting package?

Accepted Answer

That’s okay! Start with a Spark Starter—just 5 hours of focused help to get you unstuck and moving forward. You’ll get a taste of how I work, and we’ll uncover what your next best step is together.

Question 6

What do your packages include?

Accepted Answer

Each package includes a mix of consulting time, audits, workflow creation, tech setup (like HoneyBook automations), and support. You’ll get a full roadmap based on where your business is and where you want to go. No one-size-fits-all here.

Question 7

Do you offer ongoing support after setup?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Many of my clients continue working with me monthly or quarterly to update workflows, brainstorm new ideas, or train their team. I also offer retainer-style support if you're in a growth phase and need me in your back pocket.

Question 8

Can you also help with shipping my client gifts or marketing materials?

Accepted Answer

You bet. If you're running out of time to send those thoughtful touchpoints (or your closet is overflowing with swag), I’ve got you. I offer fulfillment services to make your client experience next-level—without you running to the post office, UPS, FedEx, etc.

Question 9

What industries do you specialize in?

Accepted Answer

I work best with service-based businesses—think coaches, creatives, consultants, agencies, and solopreneurs who are juggling a lot and ready to simplify. If you're overwhelmed, I’m your person.

Question 10

I’ve tried to set up my systems before and got stuck. How are you different?

Accepted Answer

You’re not alone—and that’s exactly why I do what I do. I don’t hand you a bunch of tech and say “good luck.” I walk you through the strategy, setup, and execution, and then give you support to make it stick. It’s a transformation, not a tutorial.

Question 11

Accepted Answer
