How it works · The free 30-min call

A 30-min screen-share. Then a plan you keep.

No long discovery, no slide deck, no 30-page PDF. You share your screen, I look at how the work actually moves through your business, and you leave with a one-page plan and a fixed price. For owners in Calgary, Chestermere, Airdrie, Okotoks and Cochrane.

Free. You keep the one-page plan either wayFixed price before anything starts

You deal with me from the first call on.
Signal Hill Community Association website
Signal Hill Community Association: it started with a 30-minute call too.

Three steps. The first takes two minutes.

It's Friday afternoon and you're copying the week's jobs from one app into another. That's usually where the call starts.

01 2 minutes

Book a 30-minute call.

Pick a slot. First name and email is all I need; phone and website come on the confirmation page. Before we talk, I spend ten minutes on your Google profile, your website and your reviews, so I'm not asking what you do. I'm asking what's keeping you up at 11 p.m.

What you bring
  • The list of every app you pay for monthly
  • Your ad account login, or "I don't run ads"
  • The three things you do by hand every week
02 30 minutes

Screen-share. I look at it like an owner.

We open your tools, your bills and your ad spend, and walk through the jobs you or your team do by hand. That's where the leaks are: two apps doing one job, ads nobody has checked in months, quotes that never got a follow-up.

Not on the call
  • A retainer pitch
  • "AI strategy" in the abstract
  • A slide deck
03 Within 24 hours

A one-page plan in your inbox.

What I found, what each fix is worth, and the order to do them in. Hand it to your bookkeeper or your office manager, or do it yourself. It's yours either way.

Off your plate
  • Guessing which fix matters first
  • A 30-page report nobody reads
04 Only if you want it

A fixed price to build it.

If you'd rather I fix it, I quote a fixed price before anything starts: from $1,200 for a focused fix, $4,500–$10,000 for a website with the system. Paid in milestones. You own all of it.

Off your plate
  • Open-ended hourly bills
  • Another subscription you can't leave
What I look for in 30 minutes

Six places the time and money usually go.

Most trades and service businesses I look at have at least three of these. The call is about finding which ones, and how big.

01 Software overlap

Paying twice for one job.

Two CRMs doing most of the same thing. A scheduling tool that duplicates your dispatch. Recurring software nobody remembers signing up for.

02 Ad spend

Ads running on autopilot.

Broad-match terms that haven't brought a customer in months, missing negative keywords, calls nobody is tracking.

03 Trucks & dispatch

Routes built by gut.

Trucks late on the same day every week. Overtime that's structural, not seasonal. Parts spread across three trucks instead of one.

04 Quote to close

Quotes that never hear back.

Estimates nobody follows up on, no pricing floor, quotes that close two weeks late instead of two days.

05 Manual work

The Friday-afternoon jobs.

Quote follow-ups, review requests, job-cost reconciliation. The things you or your office manager do every week that should run on their own.

06 Lead leaks

The phone rings. Nobody answers.

A form comes in and gets a reply three days later. "We'll get back to you tomorrow" quietly becomes never.

What would I automate for you?

Tap your kind of business. This is what I would wire up underneath.

Why this isn't an agency pitch

I run my own business on the same system.

LAMOSE website
17,000+custom orders a year at LAMOSE, my own company

TipA shop for custom-engraved drinkware.

UnderneathOrders from every store in one queue, artwork proofs and mockups, engraving files, shipping labels, and an AI inbox that drafts replies.

When I look at your business, I'm not matching it against a case study. I'm matching it against my own: the subscription I cancelled, the step I automated, the mistake I already made.

After the call, three doors. None of them pushy.

The one-page plan lands in your inbox either way. From there, you choose.

Door 1 · $0Do it yourself

Hand the plan to your bookkeeper or office manager. Plenty of owners run with it and never need me. That's a good outcome too.

Door 2 · from $1,200I build it

A fixed price before any work starts: from $1,200 for a focused fix, $4,500–$10,000 for a website with the system. 4–8 weeks, paid in milestones.

Door 3 · $0Walk away

Already running a tight operation? Then you've had 30 minutes of a second opinion, a plan to keep, and no sales follow-up.

Come up for air

Worth 30 minutes? Book it.

First name and email is all I need. The whole call is a screen-share, and you'll leave with a plan and a price, whether you hire me or not.
