“I love this, but $1K a month is too expensive for me”
Ocho Black is intended to be a fully “done for you” service and it’s specifically for people who want everything done for them. It’s also a fully tax-deductible business expense.
The price of this “done for you” service will almost certainly be going UP from $1k / month so this is likely the lowest it will be priced. However, customers will always be grandfathered into the price they signed up at.
“OK, I’m in. How can I apply?”
We will only be accepting a couple of new clients a month once. This is to better refine our offering. We also want to ensure every client has a phenomenal experience and they refer their friends.
If you’re interested, apply online and we’ll reach out to schedule a call if it’s a fit. If not, we’ll reach out when the timing is right!
