Q & A
Q: What is Fresh30?
A: Over 30 years of business experience. We can change the dynamics of your success story in 30 minutes, in 30 days or in 30 months. With our collection of resources, we routinely create start-ups, author business plans, audit financials, produce sales systems, build presentation stacks as well as generate PR and marketing opportunities. From concept to completion, we’ve got you covered
Q: Why is Fresh30 different?
A: After consulting with small businesses and corporations for the last few decades, Melinda Minton decided to create a solution to challenges that commonly present themselves. The start-up phase to examine project feasibility and secure funding. The three-year crunch where a business can stall and fail. The seven-year slump when numbers are stagnant and an innovation booster shot is needed to refuel, refocus and recharge.
Q: Is your work unique, “out of the box thinking?
A: Millions of years ago someone came up with various concepts of what we can only call, “the box.” If you need or want a box we can do just about anything: edible, biodegradable, programable, fragranced, re-useable or downright fun. However, we prefer leaving boxes out of business, strategy, innovation and profitability.
Q: What if my business just needs a little help?
A: Wonderful! Well done! We can create assistance for whatever your needs. A la carte and prepared just for your needs.
Q: What is the process?
A: It’s simple. Please fill out our contact form, email us or give us a call. We will arrange a complimentary phone consultation to discuss your needs. Shortly thereafter we will create a proposal, a detailed timeline and an investment amount.
