Proposal introduction and core mission
Following initial discovery, Northstar Growth Advisors proposes a 12-month engagement to help Harborview Learning Co. pursue annual revenue of $1,800,000, measured against current annual revenue of $1,200,000. This is a planning target, subject to the confirmed baseline, available budget, implementation capacity, and market response; it is not a revenue guarantee.
Current situation baseline
At kickoff, both parties will confirm the definitions, data sources, and reporting periods for these measures. Monthly reviews will compare actual results with the agreed baseline and identify changes to the plan.
Core strategic pillars
Expert positioning
Build Harborview Learning Co.'s authority through its public profile, guest publications, speaking opportunities, and relevant media outreach.
Marketing and tracking optimization
Establish reliable analytics and improve the existing inbound and outbound channels before expanding spend.
Intelligent offers and lead conversion
Develop lead-capture offers and a consistent path from inquiry to qualified conversation and sale.
12-month plan of action
Each monthly milestone produces an asset, process, or reviewable decision. Priorities may be resequenced by written agreement when baseline findings or client dependencies warrant it.
Month 1: Quick wins and low-hanging fruit
Confirm the baseline, audit current activity, and deliver a prioritized quick-win action list with owners and tracking measures.
Month 2: Social media and profile overhaul
Revise priority profiles, messaging, and calls to action; deliver a profile update pack for approval.
Month 3: Growth systems and automation
Map lead sources and handoffs, configure agreed tracking and automations, and test the lead-routing workflow.
Month 4: Thought leadership and content creation
Agree on editorial themes and produce the first approved thought-leadership assets and publication calendar.
Month 5: Outbound campaign optimization
Review targeting and outreach performance, revise messaging and sequences, and report initial test results.
Month 6: Sales process workshop and simplification
Run a sales-process workshop and deliver an updated qualification, follow-up, and handoff playbook.
Plan of action: months 7–12
Month 7: Content syndication and automation
Select approved distribution channels, repurpose existing assets, and document the publishing workflow.
Month 8: Speaking engagements and event outreach
Build a relevant event list, prepare a speaking pitch, and begin agreed organizer outreach.
Month 9: Media and podcast appearances
Prepare spokesperson topics and a media kit, then pitch suitable publications and podcast hosts.
Month 10: Publishing and asset compilation
Compile approved articles, talks, and campaign materials into reusable sales and authority assets.
Month 11: Paid traffic acquisition expansion
Present a paid-channel test plan and budget for approval; launch only campaigns separately authorized by Harborview Learning Co.
Month 12: Review, scale and compounding optimization
Deliver a year-end performance review, document what worked, and recommend the next operating plan.
At each monthly review, Northstar Growth Advisors will report completed milestones, agreed activity measures, available commercial results, and decisions needed from Harborview Learning Co.

Investment breakdown and guarantee
Monthly investment
The initial minimum engagement is 12 months from October 15, 2026, subject to the termination rights below. The $5,000 monthly core fee is invoiced in advance on the 15th of each month and payable within 15 days of invoice. If elected, the $600 monthly add-on is invoiced on the same schedule. Approved third-party costs, media spend, event fees, and travel are separate from the consulting fee.
Performance guarantee: delivery milestones
Northstar Growth Advisors commits to the monthly deliverables in the roadmap, subject to timely access, approvals, data, and decisions from Harborview Learning Co. If a milestone is missed for reasons within Northstar Growth Advisors' control, Harborview Learning Co. may give written notice identifying the missed deliverable. Northstar Growth Advisors will have 10 calendar days after receipt to complete it.
A milestone date moves by the period of a documented client delay or an agreed change in scope. The parties will record the revised date in writing.

3. Expenses and authorizations
Northstar Growth Advisors will obtain Harborview Learning Co.'s written authorization before incurring any reimbursable expense or committing client funds to advertising, software, travel, events, or other third parties.

Terms and conditions: term and delivery
4. Term and termination
The agreement begins on October 15, 2026 and continues for an initial 12-month term through October 14, 2027 unless terminated under this clause.

Either party may terminate for a material breach that remains uncured 15 calendar days after written notice describing the breach.

Terms and conditions: protections
8. Competitor-services notice
During the engagement, Northstar Growth Advisors will notify Harborview Learning Co. before accepting work for a directly competing U.S. provider of online professional training to small businesses when that work presents a material conflict concerning this engagement. The parties will discuss appropriate safeguards in good faith. This notice provision does not itself prohibit Northstar Growth Advisors from serving other clients or using general skills and experience.
9. Confidentiality
Each party will use the other's nonpublic business, financial, customer, technical, and strategic information only to perform this agreement; protect it with reasonable care; and disclose it only to personnel and advisers who need to know and are bound to protect it. These duties do not apply to information the recipient can show was public without breach, already lawfully known, independently developed, or lawfully received without restriction. A legally required disclosure is permitted after prompt notice where lawful. Confidentiality continues for 3 years after termination, or longer for trade secrets while protected under applicable law.
10. Conflicts and intellectual property

Terms and conditions: general terms
11. Amendments and entire agreement
Changes must be recorded in writing and accepted by authorized representatives of both parties. This document, including any signed schedules or change orders, is the entire agreement concerning these services and supersedes prior discussions on the same subject. If documents conflict, a later signed change order controls, followed by the main agreement, then signed schedules.
12. Notices and governing law
Formal notices must be sent by email to [email protected] for Harborview Learning Co. and [email protected] for Northstar Growth Advisors. A notice is effective on the next business day after sending if the sender receives no delivery-failure message; notices sent on a nonbusiness day are treated as sent on the next business day. This sample agreement is governed by the laws of New York, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The parties will first attempt to resolve disputes through good-faith discussions between their primary contacts for 15 calendar days. If unresolved, either party may bring the dispute in state or federal courts located in New York County, New York.
13. Severability, counterparts, and counsel
If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect, and the parties will seek an enforceable provision that most closely reflects their original intent. The agreement may be signed in counterparts and by electronic signature, each treated as an original. Each party has had the opportunity to seek independent legal advice before signing.
