Alex Fearon is the founder of Maybe Later, an email marketing and supporter journey consultancy that helps purpose-led charities and B2B service businesses turn chaotic email activity into joined-up journeys that build trust, drive action, and raise more money.

Why we’ve teamed up:
Growth can feel Good
“Bethany's suggestions are always insightful and help me look at things differently, and every session seems to include multiple lightbulb moments!”
— Suzie Rees, Trust Fundraising Consultant (Bethany’s Client)
This webinar is for you if…
You’ve ever felt pressure to do all the things — post more, email more, deliver more — to keep up.
You know client relationships are essential to your business, but the time and energy it takes often feels overwhelming.
You want to grow your reach and impact, but not at the expense of your health or passion for your work.
If any of these sound familiar, this session will give you clarity, calm, and practical steps to move forward.
What you’ll take away
This isn’t just theory — you’ll leave the session with:
A clear picture of what’s draining your energy and how to shift it.
A simple client engagement plan you can sketch in 10 minutes.
Confidence to focus on what matters most, instead of trying to do everything.
You’ll walk away with realistic, doable next steps designed to support your mission and your well-being.
Why now?
The demands on charity freelancers are higher than ever — and the pressure to “do more with less” hasn’t gone away. But running yourself into the ground isn’t a sustainable strategy.
Now is the time to find a better way: one that will allow you to grow your business, build stronger client relationships, and still have the energy to enjoy life outside of work.
This webinar will give you the tools and reassurance to move forward with clarity and confidence.
“It's really exciting to predict what's going to land and what's going to create customer action, the tips, tools and tricks will probably stay with us for years ahead.”
— Andy King, Fireside Fundraising (Alex’s Client)
