The scoping conversation.
Thirty minutes about your situation: executive coaching, board readiness, a programme for your leaders, or the next step after a CareerOS 360 package. No pitch deck, no discovery script, and no work begins until a scope and a fee are agreed in writing.
One person, one call.
Not a salesperson who will hand you over afterwards. The person on the call is the person who will lead or match your work.
Bring three roles
Live adverts, or titles you are aiming at. The conversation is concrete or it is worthless.
Bring your record
Your CV, or a CareerOS 360 reading if you have one. Most of the half hour is spent on what the record does not yet carry.
We disagree out loud
If we think a target is not supported by your record, we say so on the call rather than in an invoice.
A written scope
Deliverables, sequence, revision rounds and fee, in one document, within a working day. Nothing starts before you accept it.
What this call is not. It is not a pitch, and there is no offer that expires. We do not ask for a decision on the call and we do not follow up more than twice. If the conversation tells you everything you needed and you would rather act on it yourself, that is a good outcome and you owe us nothing.

Next steps
The CVPRO scoping conversation is a no-obligation 30 minutes about your situation: executive coaching, board readiness, a programme for your leaders, or the next step after a CareerOS 360 package. It covers your situation in your words, the roles or outcomes you are aiming at, what the work should cover, and scope, sequence and fee. No decision is asked for on the call. A written scope setting out deliverables, sequence and fee follows within one working day, and no work begins until you accept it. If the conversation tells you enough to act on it yourself, you owe nothing.
Questions leaders ask
What happens on a scoping call?
The half hour covers four things in order: your situation in your words, the roles or outcomes you are aiming at, what the work should cover, and scope, sequence and fee. If a target is not supported by your record, we say so on the call rather than in an invoice.
How should I prepare for a scoping call?
Bring the roles or outcomes you are aiming at, because the conversation is concrete or it is worthless, and your CV or a CareerOS 360 reading if you have one. If you only want your CV read first, start with Package 1 on Book My Appointment.
Will I be pressured to buy after a scoping call?
No. The scoping call is not a pitch, there is no offer that expires, and no decision is asked for on the call. CVPRO does not follow up more than twice. If the conversation told you everything you needed and you would rather act on it yourself, that is treated as a good outcome, and you owe nothing for the conversation.
Who will I speak to on the scoping call?
The person who will lead or match your work, not a salesperson who hands you over afterwards. For CareerOS 360 work that is the named reviewer accountable for your files; for coaching, the person who proposes your coach. See who reads your record.
When does work start after a scoping call?
Only after you accept a written scope. Within one working day of the call you receive one document setting out deliverables, sequence and fee, and nothing starts before you accept it. Coaching works the same way: C-series engagements begin with a scope call and a written scope.
