Consultancy
I frequently receive emails and letters asking for my advice and professional opinion on business projects and ideas.
I undertake a limited number of full consultancy projects each year where businesses feel they could benefit from my one-to-one advice.
I have found that a 3 month intensive involvement is the most effective route where I will help you develop your business plan and in particular your brand/marketing strategy. I will also assist in helping you raise appropriate finance for your business if necessary – plus access to any other contacts which may help you from my extensive business address book. I also offer all my consultancy clients ongoing mentoring by phone/email for six months thereafter plus free access to my online Business Mentoring service (due to be re-launched shortly) and priority invitations to all my events.
I normally charge £10,000 + VAT for a full consultancy project payable 50% on acceptance of the assignment and 50% at the end of the three month period. This includes an initial 2 – 3 hour strategy meeting plus a further two meetings (which can be with third parties) to help you implement the plan, plus a further six months’ mentoring by email/phone as and when you need it.
Please note that I do not undertake any assignments in return for equity share deals.
To request my involvement in your business on a consultancy basis please email me at rachel@rachelelnaugh.com being sure to include CONSULTANCY in the subject title.

Rachel
TESTIMONIAL
“With Rachel’s help in 2008 we re-branded the business and my thinking about the potential really started to open up. From being a loss making business, turnover more than doubled by the end of 2008 and we finally came into profit after five years of determined effort. In 2009 I invited Rachel to join the Board in return for an equity stake to help us manage our growth. We now have distributors in over 40 countries around the world including Australia, New Zealand, India, Denmark and Ireland and are on target to generate £1million turnover in 2009/10. We have also acquired the licensing rights to all the key children’s characters and are about to launch our new range at the International Spring Fair. Thanks to Rachel’s help we are now in discussions with key UK retailers and expect to see our product on retail shelves later this year. Key to underpinning this growth is a strong operational infrastructure and Rachel has helped me put key outsource providers in place which will allow us to scale up effortlessly as well as enable me to focus on business development.”
“When Rachel agreed to help the business it was the best thing that’s ever happened to me. She’s step changed the business by giving me focus and direction and making us think like an international brand. She’s precise, clear, gutsy and to the point and it’s easy to see how she developed her own business Red Letter Days into a market leader.”
