Inquiries

Prior to formulating a proposal for work with a new client, Astrolabe Partners typically participates in a working session of 1 – 2 hours in order to better understand client needs, capabilities and expectations.  Although there is no fee charged for these initial meetings, an additional goal is to provide prospective clients with some useful insights or recommendations that will demonstrate our ability to be a valuable resource.
