Strategic Pivot Plan:

1. Repositioning Messaging: Shift from general content to specialized content that leverages the psychology background. Focus on impact: "Drive leads," "increase conversions," and "reduce churn."

2. Target Client Migration: Target SaaS companies, medical device manufacturers, and subscription-based businesses. Use LinkedIn to identify decision-makers (e.g., VPs of Marketing, Product Managers).

3. Pricing Structure Transition: Move from hourly rates to project-based pricing or value-based pricing. Example: Charge $5,000 for a series of blog posts designed to generate 50 qualified leads.

4. Proof-Point Development: Create case studies demonstrating how content increased leads or conversions for previous clients. Quantify results whenever possible.

Execution Roadmap (90 Days):

Month 1: Refine LinkedIn profile to highlight "Behavioral Content Strategy." Identify 20 target companies and connect with relevant decision-makers.

Month 2: Create a sample case study showcasing expertise in SaaS lead generation. Share on LinkedIn and directly with target contacts.

Month 3: Secure at least one premium client using project-based pricing. Gather data to create a new case study based on results.
