How to work with us
Step One
Schedule a time to talk with us about your needs
What to Expect: We’ll spend 30-60 minutes talking about what is and isn’t working for business owners in your community, what specific problems you’re hoping to solve, and how Outgrow Your Garage can help.
Step Two
Decide what combination of Outgrow Your Garage services will work best for you.
Sometimes a combination of our existing online courses and workshops will work. Other times, we might build you a custom project.
Step Three
Review Your Proposal
Outgrow Your Garage will send you a proposal and scope of work based on your needs. You’ll review the proposal with your community and any interested stakeholders, and decide if you want to make any changes.
Step Four
Start the project!
Once we have a signed proposal, we determine a time frame for starting the project, plan out any event dates, and set up a delivery schedule.
