Performance Guarantee
Last updated: August 28, 2026
Consultants love asking clients for accountability and hate offering any back. I put mine in writing: every ongoing consulting engagement has numeric targets in the agreement, and there are defined consequences for me when I miss them.
How it works
- Every ongoing engagement agreement names specific, measurable targets – pipeline, cost per opportunity, revenue attributed, or equivalents agreed with you.
- Targets are reviewed against your own reporting, not mine, every quarter.
- If the agreed targets are missed for two consecutive quarters, you receive the remedy defined in your agreement – a fee credit, a no-penalty exit, or both.
What the guarantee is not
It's not a promise that marketing carries no risk – platforms change, markets shift, and honest targets account for that. It's a promise that the risk is shared: if I set the target and I miss it, it costs me too.
Conditions
- Targets and remedies apply as written in your signed agreement – this page describes my standard framework, not a standalone offer. One-off sessions and audits are scoped deliverables and don't carry quarterly targets.
- The guarantee assumes agreed budgets are deployed and access (analytics, ad accounts, CRM) is maintained as scoped.
- Changes you request that materially alter the plan reset the measurement window for affected targets.
