Hey Reader,

You’ve got a few emails from us and at this point you might be like… wait, sorry, who the heck are you?!

We are Cristina and Sara, and we run Pique Management, a business management agency for authors.

Cristina here...

Several years ago, I was sitting with my best friend, who is now a New York Times bestselling author.

This friend was lamenting about all of the projects she needed to tackle in her business, but didn’t have time for.

Me—being the bossy friend I am—asked “Wait, why is your team not handling these things?”

Slowly but surely, it came out that the two team members in place weren’t proactive or self-directed enough to get these projects done without a ton of guidance from my friend.

A few martinis later, I asked a question that has changed so much: “…should I join your team? Would working together be the best thing or the dumbest thing we’ve ever done?”

Turns out, it was the best thing!

Channeling my background of productivity coaching and professional organizing into the author world has been seamless.

A few years later, as the agency expanded, I got to thinking: “Who is the most competent, organized person I know, who deeply understands business?”

Enter: Sara, my past partner in a former business that we later sold together.

As a copywriter and business owner, Sara is one of those people who just gets it. Just a month into our work together, I was continually amazed by how quickly she learned the nuances of the author world and knew exactly what questions to ask our clients.

So when you work with us and our amazing team of PAs, you’re getting project management, creative idea generation, productivity coaching, copywriting, and quick, effective execution.

We handle logistics but we also care deeply about your well-being.

And because we both come from outside of the industry, we bring an important lens into this world that we think has been missing: Looking at results, not just tasks. And not taking “that’s just how it’s done” for an answer, when we know things can be better.

So now that you’ve received five emails from us, we’re curious: Has anything shifted in your perspective of your team and what’s possible for your business?

Hit reply + let us know. We can’t wait to hear from you.

Cristina + Sara

P.S. If you’re big into the world of Strengths, we thought it might be fun for you to know our top five strengths:

• Cristina is Strategic, Command, Learner, Activator, and Ideation.
• Sara is Achiever, Responsibility, Learner, Intellection, and Restorative.

Suffice it to say, it’s a productive, energizing, and fun mix! We’d love for you to include yours when you reply to this email!
