How does it work?
We'll set 5 big picture annual goals then break those down into bite-sized tasks. aCo Digital sets up the complicated technology aspects and sets up 1:1 training for businesses. Businesses are assigned homework monthly to accomplish. Business owners take the lead by setting priorities and deciding what they'd like to focus on with the guidance of aCo Digital advisors. Not every tasks can be completed in one week or one month.
How long does a website take to build?
Average 90 days. It can take shorter or longer. A lot of the timeline depends on whether the business owner does their homework and how many revisions are required.
What if I decide to cancel early or close my business?
Digital advisory is committed through the term of the contract length. Any early cancellation will require payout within 30 days notice of cancellation. Owners are personally financially responsible for payment of the contract. Incentive percentage is not required if contracts are cancelled early (30 days after written notice).
What if I don't meet or exceed the goal amount?
Any month the business doesn't meet or exceed the goal amount, you will continue to pay for tools and the digital advisory retainer but will not pay for the incentive percentage based on your goal number.
About the Incentive Percentage
