Open & Awkward: Shop Talk with Katie & Amanda
Season 2 Episode 19: One Woman Collective
Stop, Collaborate and Listen
What’s this podcast about?

Amanda is excited to get some help from an acquaintance starting an HR/operations consulting business. It’s coming at the perfect time! Amanda shares a story about her ideal client and how she prefers collaborative relationships. Katie suggests structuring services with clear tiers: Option A or Option B, to make boundaries and value more obvious. Amanda also shares a recent success: she offered an unsolicited quote on a landscaping project, and it worked! Now she’s wondering if that approach might be worth repeating. And finally, the question that doesn’t need asking…or does it? Is the in-store consult actually IN the store?
Highlights:
- Stop me from helping her.
- Option A or Option B(oobs).
- The one woman collective.
- A new service for Amanda?
- Is the in-store consult IN the store?
