FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Very much like my style, my name is a beautiful mess of influences. From the idea of my name stemming from Lane Brody on a plane, to my maternal grandma suggesting I be named after my paternal grandma, to my very first nickname Pebbles. All roads literally led to Ashley Laine. All that matters is that your path also led you to Ashley Lane. Welcome!
Because life's too fast to not be able to describe yourself in three words or less and these three encompass everything there is to know about me professionally, and personally.
More like how many glasses of a nice Paso Robles Cabernet, at the end of the day ;) But - for real though, in my best Julia Roberts voice “Big, BIG Mistake”... if I don’t start my morning out with my Venti Iced Americano, extra shot, 4 pumps sugar free vanilla, splash of skim, light caramel drizzle. Starbys is Life.
This is absolutely, positively, hands-down my greatest weakness! It is on every goal sheet, reminder on my phone - I have dimming lights, meditation prompts, the whole package - ha must get more sleep! But you know what - when you get to do what you're passionate about it's really hard to shut my brain down at night. Especially when I’m constantly making lists, and jotting notes about how I can help your business!
Once you get to know me, you will quickly learn I don't fit in any boxes. I'm boujee, sparkly, over the top, and love life's luxuries, but I also am absolutely addicted to my downtime, sweatsuits and slides. If I don't force myself to pick one or the other, then you shouldn't have to either. We will utilize the On-Boarding Survey, my analytical skillset, and our Discovery Call and modge-podge some solutions together that will best fit your brand, tone-of-voice, business personality, and budget.
Nah, let's leave that to the pro's. Think of me as more of a Business Matchmaker. Once I analyze your current capabilities, needs, goals, and vision I take the wheel and you get to sit back and relax. No need for you to set up multiple coffee dates, zooms, hundreds of emails and phone calls with 10 to 30 other business professionals when I can handle all of that for you and you just get to enjoy the final product. Think of alllll those hours you just got back to do what you love, while I get to do what I love!
They absolutely do! I wouldn’t feel comfortable out pricing my work from my skills. Remember me JUST saying how many hours you'll get back by being able to hand your headaches over to me? What is that worth to you? I know the value I bring to this partnership through my experience, connections, and dedication. I can't wait for you to walk away with this confidence and sense of pride in your business after our partnership as well!
Aren’t you observant! Love it! So Ashley Lane LLC is the official, licensed, business name. The solution you ask? Well, I don’t think we know that yet as each business is different and that is why I have a variety of Solution suggestions available. Each interaction is completely customizable to that business’s needs at that time. We’ll just bend my Solutions to your roadmap.
You will be able to pay through an invoice that will be sent to you 7 days prior to your due date, on your due date, as well as through your client portal. I’m partnered with Square for secure payments. Each invoice will include South Dakota Sales Tax at 6.2%, as well as subject to a variable service charge rate dependent on payment form. Through Square all payment methods are accepted. Square fees are as follows: ACH Bank Transfer 1% | Square Point of Sale 2.6% + 10¢ per transaction | Virtual Terminal 3.5% + 15¢ per transaction | Credit card, debit card, invoices 3.3% + 30¢ per transaction | Cash App Pay or Payment Links 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction
You Betcha! It is our partnership, we can customize this to best fit your needs! There’s a spot in the On-Boarding Survey for you to mention this, and during the Discovery Call we’ll finalize those details.
Not just a plan my friend! You get your own shiny new login and password! Who doesn’t need another one of those?! Top right corner of my website, there is a Client Login, that’s for you! Don’t worry I’ll get you the secret stuff you need first.
This is the part of the business where my passion and creativity really start to shine! One of my greatest strengths is being able to listen to you, piece together what your wants and needs are, and deliver a high end, finished project, that makes you go 'whoa, how'd you know that's what I needed?!
I am hoping to get the Lounge up and running as soon as I can! I see it being a virtual collaborative workspace for like-minded women to come together to share ideas, network, and feel supported. Your client login will gain you access to The Lounge once it’s up and running, and it will house how-to’s, free templates, events, recipes, cocktails, chat forums - anything you can picture yourself chatting about with a few fellow business women about at a happy hour in a casual setting. If you have any suggestions while this is being built out please don’t hesitate to share solutions@ashleylanellc.com
