the TEAL Agency Statement of Work

Most of this is common sense, but as with many things in life, it’s better if the details are clearly spelled out in order to avoid confusion.

Please read (and initial in the areas provided) the statement of work below and let's start building your marketing funnel together!

The unofficial version:

  1. We will do exactly everything we said we'd do, no more, no less. We will give you everything we agreed to give you in a timely manner.
  2. Yet, we can't get started until you give us some information. Don’t think we have the mental powers of the amazing Kreskin to read minds. We're going to need some information from you to get the job done.
  3. Relationships are complicated... unless you have a few ground rules. Who can date who, and how we'll keep each others secrets are all laid out below. Even what happens if we break up.

Now for the official version:
