WHAT MAKES
SONDER DIFFERENT?

  • We’re not here to upsell you on services you don’t need. We’re here to give you clarity and direction—and earn your trust, not your retainer.

  • You don’t need sugarcoating. You need insight you can act on. We say what needs to be said, even when it’s uncomfortable—because that’s where change starts.

  • We’ve led teams, built companies, worn too many hats, and hit the wall. That’s why our advice isn’t theoretical—it’s built on real experience.

FAQs

What kind of businesses do you work with?

We work with entrepreneurs, leadership teams, and small to mid-sized businesses that know something’s off—but aren’t sure what to fix first. If you’re growing but stuck, we’re probably a fit.

Are you a marketing agency?

No. We’re not a creative shop or full-service agency. We advise, audit, and connect you with trusted specialists who can execute the work if needed. Our value is in strategy—not selling services.

Can you help us with a project or system buildout?

Yes—if the scope is right. We can advise directly or loop in vetted partners from our network to handle implementation. Our strength is knowing who’s worth hiring and when to bring them in.

What do I get when I work with Sonder?

You get a detailed, honest assessment of where your business stands, clear next steps, and support from people who’ve done this before. We’re here to help you make smarter decisions—faster.

Do you work within a specific industry?

We’ve worked across industries—from financial services and logistics to media and coaching. We focus on systems, strategy, and clarity—so if the challenge is operational or structural, we’re in.

What’s the first step?

Book a discovery call. No pressure, no fluff—just a conversation to understand where you're stuck and whether we can help. If we’re a fit, we’ll build the path forward together.
