MODULE 1
Developing your business mindset and creating your launch plan
Developing Your Business Mindset
Having built your career working for others your focus has not been on how to build a strong sustainable business. Where to start, how to structure, real expectations on who you must be to overcome the hurdles of entrepreneurship. Specifically, as cybersecurity experts we are risk adverse, and stepping out and building your own business can feel very risky.
During this session we will develop what your business mindset needs to be to overcome these obstacles. The best thing about being your own boss is you set the standard for both revenue and excellence… that can also be the downfall of being your own boss.
Let us tackle these mindsets and develop a core truth around the type of CEO you will be to ensure you are living your best life as an entrepreneur offering VCISO services.
Creating Your Launch Plan
The old saying goes ‘If you fail to plan, you plan to fail’; a business plan that can sustain even a pandemic is exactly what you need to move forward with launching your VCISO business.
During this session we will layout the exact (and not complicated) business plan you need to move forward and know exactly what is needed to support the vision you have for your business and your life… oh and your bank account!
Do not waste time trying to figure out what type of business model will work for you. When you leave this session, you will have the exact structure you need to start building your foundation on.
MODULE 2
Learning to sell and market your vCISO business
Selling does not come naturally for most people. We have all dealt with the weird used car salesman that just made us feel a little uncomfortable. Which then makes us feel a little uncomfortable trying to sell our services to others.
I get it, but here is the thing as Cybersecurity professionals we are FACT based people. My experience has been when we sell based on data, the facts, the bottom line… the data does the selling. Let me show you how to turn your service into an easy yes for your prospects.
MODULE 3
Cybersecurity
Interacting Virtual with Clients and Team
The truth is this does take a bit of getting used to, but with the right process in place working virtually with clients and team members is an even more effective communication than being in office.
Virtual platforms make the ability to manage projects, clients and teams smoothly and efficiently. These are the hard lessons that will cost you thousands of dollars if not navigated correctly.
With over 10yrs experience working virtually with major brand names, I can help you navigate the clear process needed for this level of communication. How to lay the expectation and onboard your clients so that they feel the ease of a virtual team member.
Core Skills to be a vCISO
Let me start by saying you do not have to be a PAID CISO currently to build a vCISO business. Your current title or position has nothing to do with the ability to build this business.
What you do have to have is the core skill set to develop a cyber security protocol that will minimize the risk of a breach against your client’s systems.
Most of your ideal clients do not have the budget for a full cybersecurity team, therefor you will implement a measurable protocol to ensure the security of the business based on the structure I share in this session.
