The Sixth Hire — Your business, finally running without you.
AI - Automation - Operations

Most businesses make
five hires. Then us.

We build the AI systems, automate your workflows, and provide the team to run your business so it works without you in it.

The audit is a one-time $497 purchase. Retainers begin after — if you want them.

★★★★★ | Trusted by business owners across 3 continents

Your business runs you.
Not the other way around.

Leads fall through

Follow-up never happens. Revenue walks out the door.

Your CRM is a mess

Unused, outdated, or nonexistent. Leads have nowhere to land.

Tools do not talk

Your data lives in silos. Nothing connects to anything.

You do everything

Work that should be automated still lands on your desk.

You cannot step away

The business stops the moment you do.

Cannot afford full-time

You need consistent execution but not a full-time salary.

We fix all six. With systems, with people, or with both.

One entry point.
Everything else follows.

1

Discovery call Free - 20 min

We learn your business, your tools, and where it is breaking down. No pitch. Just diagnosis.

2

Systems Audit $497

A full review of your workflows, automation gaps, and opportunities with a written action plan and roadmap call.

3

Build or Run Project or Retainer

Based on the audit, we recommend a build project or a managed retainer. You never have to guess which one you need.

4

Results in 90 days Build, optimize, prove

Month 1 we build. Month 2 we optimize. Month 3 we prove it. By week 10 the ROI conversation is straightforward.

A simple engagement path, designed to reduce guesswork and get working systems live fast.

Week 0

Discovery and diagnosis

We identify the breakdowns, pressure points, and what the fastest path to leverage looks like.

Week 1

Audit and roadmap

You leave with a clear action plan, recommended stack, priorities, and build order.

Weeks 2-4

Core systems go live

CRM cleanup, automation flows, assignment logic, intake, follow-up, and reporting come online.

Month 2

Optimization and execution

We tighten conversion points, reduce manual load, and make the system more reliable under real use.

Month 3

Measured, repeatable results

The business runs cleaner, faster, and with less owner dependence. That is when long-term scale becomes realistic.

Two ways to work with us.
One entry point for both.

Every engagement starts
with one conversation.

The Systems Audit is $497. It covers a full review of your tools, your workflows, and your gaps plus a 60-minute roadmap call where we tell you exactly what to build and in what order. If you decide not to move forward after that, you still walk away with a complete action plan.

One-time purchase. Retainer agreements are 3 months, and only begin after the audit — if you choose to continue.

Straight answers.

It is a paid discovery engagement where we review your tools, map your workflows, identify automation opportunities, and deliver a written roadmap. It ends with a 60-minute call where we recommend the right next step - a build project or a retainer.

No. Our clients are business owners who understand their business but do not want to manage the backend stack. You do not need to know how anything works. That is our job.

Month 1 is setup and integration. Month 2 is optimization. Month 3 is where results become undeniable. The 3-month commitment protects both sides and gives the system enough time to prove itself.

All custom work is scoped after the Systems Audit. The audit gives us the full picture so we can quote accurately and recommend the right implementation path.

Fast. After the discovery call, the Systems Audit typically begins within 3–5 business days. For managed execution retainers, onboarding starts within one week of signing. Most clients have their first deliverables within two weeks of getting started.

GoHighLevel is the primary platform, but we also build on HubSpot, Zapier, Make.com, N8N, ClickUp, Asana, and most major CRMs.
