Ethos3 is a Nashville-based design company specializing in creating presentation designs. Doing just one thing allows them to systematize their processes much more efficiently than most other design firms. They have a standardized business development method. It’s a templated proposal that includes the number of slides you’ll get, the number of revisions, and the pricing formula. For project management, they use teamwork.com. Again, there’s a set of templates for each stage of the development process, and the project delivery approach is the same every time. It’s a recipe - just add water.

In fact, a lot of your employees would prefer some consistency and structure.
