Is this a sales call?

No. There is no upsell during or after the call. If you want to explore the 1:1 Coaching program or the course later, that's your decision. This is 90 minutes of consulting, not a pitch.

If this call helps you raise your rate by $50 per song, it pays for itself in 7 projects. If it helps you land one new client you wouldn't have found otherwise, it pays for itself immediately. The average engineer I work with recoups the cost within their first month of implementing the plan.

I feel like I'm almost ready but not quite there yet.

That's the most common thing I hear from engineers who never end up taking action. Same rate, same clients, same "next month." 42% of the people I talk to say "not now," and a year later, nothing has changed. The call exists to break that pattern. You don't need to have it figured out first. That's what the 90 minutes are for.

How is this different from the course or 1:1 Coaching?

This isn't a course and it isn't a program. It's 90 minutes where I listen to your actual situation, tell you what I see, and we build a plan around what's really going on. Want to build the system yourself after? That's the self-paced course ($1,500, or $63/mo). Want me in the room every week? That's 1:1 Coaching ($8,000, or $333/mo).

The Strategy Call | Michael J. Morgan

Does this sound familiar?

You're good at mixing. The business side feels chaotic.

Busy but unpredictable

Some months you're booked. Other months you're wondering where the next project is coming from. That feast-or-famine cycle makes it difficult to plan anything.

You know you're undercharging

You've seen what other engineers charge. You suspect you're leaving money on the table, but raising rates feels risky without a clear strategy.

You want better clients, not just more clients

You're tired of chasing whoever will pay. You want consistent work from artists who respect the craft and come back for the next project.
