Engage Sheppard

Tell us about the engagement. We'll come prepared.

Run it, Build it, Advise on it. All three modes scope from the same conversation. Pre-LOI, sixty days post-close, mid-hold, pre-exit, or independent operator with an agency that isn't moving the P&L, the conversation starts the same way. Five questions, fifteen minutes on the calendar, a real point of view on your marketing engine by the end of week one.

The fastest path is a working session.

Frequently Asked

Before you reach out.

How quickly does Sheppard respond?

+
Within one business day for any inquiry from a sponsor, operating partner, or portco executive. We deliberately keep response times short for active deal contexts, a pre-LOI conversation in week one is a different urgency than a mid-hold review.

What information should I include in my first message?

+
Five things help us come prepared: (1) firm or sponsor name, (2) deal or platform stage (pre-LOI, post-close, hold, pre-exit), (3) vertical(s), HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, etc., (4) approximate platform scale (single portco vs. multi-add-on roll-up), and (5) the question or symptom that prompted the outreach.

Does Sheppard do free consults?

+
Yes, a 30-minute working session for sponsors or operating partners with an active deal context or hold-period question. The session is substantive, not introductory. We come prepared with specifics on your platform and walk away with a clear point of view on where Sheppard adds the most value.
