How the call runs

It runs like coaching. Book a time, pay at the link, join live video with your numbers open. Working session, not a pitch — you leave with assignments and KPIs to hit before the next session.

How to prepare

Come ready. Send the one metric that will not move, two lines of context, and anything worth seeing on screen. The more real the numbers, the sharper the assignments you leave with.

What you leave with

Clear assignments for the next session and the KPIs that prove they worked. Show up to the following call with the update — that is the loop.

Reschedules

Move or cancel up to 24 hours before the call and pick a new time at no cost. Inside 24 hours, send an email and Tom will shift it whenever the calendar allows.
