What I buildSystems, not slide decks

The work that quietly makes you money.

Every business runs on a handful of systems: how leads come in, how they get followed up, how the work gets done, how you know it's working. I find the ones that are leaking and I build the fix. Here's the kind of thing I build.

Systems I build

Pick the leak. I've built the fix for all of these, more than once.

01

Missed-call recovery

Every missed call is a customer trying to give you money. The moment a call goes unanswered, an automatic text goes out so the lead never sits cold.

  • Instant text-back on missed calls
  • Reason-for-call capture
  • Routes hot leads to you first
02

Lead follow-up that never drops

Most leads don't say no. They just never hear back a second time. I build the follow-up sequence that runs on its own until they book or opt out.

  • Multi-step SMS + email nurture
  • Stops the instant they reply
  • Books straight into your calendar
03

Intake & routing

New inquiries sorted, tagged, and sent to the right person or pipeline automatically, so nothing lands in an inbox no one is watching.

  • Web form & DM capture
  • Auto-qualification & tagging
  • Clean hand-off to your team
04

Customer reactivation

Your best next customer is often an old one. I mine your existing list and run win-back campaigns to the people who already trust you.

  • Dormant-customer win-back
  • Seasonal & renewal reminders
  • Referral asks at the right moment
05

Review & reputation engine

Reviews are compounding interest on marketing. Happy customers get asked at exactly the right time, on autopilot.

  • Timed review requests
  • Routes unhappy replies to you privately
  • Steady flow of 5-star proof
06

Automated reporting

The numbers you'd check if you had the time, delivered to you every week without anyone running a report.

  • Revenue, leads & response-time in one view
  • Scheduled to your inbox
  • No dashboard to babysit
07

Internal ops assistant

An AI assistant wired into your own tools and files, so your team gets answers and drafts in seconds instead of digging.

  • Trained on your docs & SOPs
  • Drafts, lookups & summaries
  • The same AI OS I use, built for you
08

Systems audit

Not sure where the leak is? I map how your business actually runs and hand you a prioritized list of what to fix first.

  • Full operations walk-through
  • Ranked by money & time recovered
  • Yours to keep, build or not

How it goes

The same path, every engagement. No mystery, no retainer black hole.

01

Investigate

We get on a call and I look at how your business actually runs, where leads come from, what happens after, what eats your week. I find what's quietly costing you money or time.

02

Build

I build the fix. A working system that runs in your business, not a strategy deck pointing you to hire someone else. You watch it come together.

03

Measure & tune

It runs on its own. I track what it's doing to your numbers and tune it, so the result is something you can see, not another tool to manage.

04

You profit

More money coming in, or hours back in your week, usually both. And it keeps paying after I'm done, because you own it.

Straight answers

Do I need to be "ready for AI"?

No. Most of the money is in fixing systems you already have, the follow-up that isn't happening, the leads going cold, the report nobody runs. AI only gets used where it actually moves the number. If someone's selling you AI for its own sake, that's the noise.

What size business is this for?

Small businesses and lean teams, the ones where the owner is still close to the work. I've run one myself, so I build for real constraints: cash flow is real, most software is clunky, and your staff aren't engineers.

Will I be locked into you forever?

The opposite. What I build runs on its own and you own it. Plenty of people do one project and are set. Some keep me on as their technical advisor because it's cheaper than the alternative, but that's your call, not a lock-in.

What does it cost?

Projects are scoped and priced up front, so you know the number before we start, no hourly meter. The discovery call is free and you'll leave it knowing whether the math works. If it doesn't, I'll tell you.

What tools do you work with?

Whatever you already run on. I meet your stack where it is rather than making you rip everything out. If a change of tool would genuinely save you money, I'll show you the math first.

Who this is for

The leaks are different depending on what kind of business you run. Here is where the money usually goes in each.

Find your leak. Keep the money.

One free call. I'll tell you where your business is losing money or time, and whether it's worth fixing.
