Tell me what’s slowing your business down.

I don’t sell packages. Every shop’s bottleneck is different, so the work starts with a conversation about how jobs actually move through your business. Then I tell you what I’d build, what it would cost, and whether it’s worth doing.

Some of what I can build

These are examples, not a menu. Most small businesses start with follow-up, because that’s where the money leaks first.

Lead and customer follow-up

Fast response to every new lead, and steady follow-up after. When someone fills out a form or calls and nobody answers fast, that job goes to the next contractor.

  • A text back within a minute when a form comes in or a call is missed
  • Text, email and call follow-up on a schedule you set
  • Reminders to past customers when service is due
  • One list of who still needs a call back

I built follow-up systems like this at a lead-generation company. One AI voice system brought in about $100K a month from leads that had already been written off.

Connecting the tools you already use

Your CRM, scheduling, phone system and email passing information to each other, so nobody types the same customer in three places.

  • New leads land in your CRM on their own
  • Booked jobs show up on the right calendar
  • Calls and texts logged against the customer

I’ve been a Salesforce developer, and I’ve connected CRMs, calendars, text messaging, voice AI and Slack in production.

AI assistants, with you in charge

AI is good at drafting and bad at being accountable. So it drafts, and you decide.

  • Draft replies to new leads, in your voice
  • Summaries of calls and voicemails
  • Follow-ups and quotes prepped and waiting for your OK

Custom tools and dashboards

Sometimes the right answer is a small tool built for exactly how your shop works.

  • Replace a spreadsheet that’s doing a software job
  • One screen with today’s jobs, open quotes and who needs a call
  • Simple internal tools for estimates, schedules or checklists

AI drafts. You own the commitments.

I use AI every day, and I’ve built AI agents that talk to real customers by text and phone. Nothing I build books a job, quotes a price, charges a card or sends in your name on its own, unless you and I have agreed it can, for that specific thing.

I learned that one the practical way. An AI system I worked on was ending customer conversations it had no business ending, so I took that authority away from it. Now it proposes, and a person confirms.

You get to see what it did, and there’s always a way to switch it off and handle things by hand.

How a project goes

  1. A conversationCall or text. Tell me what’s eating your time. This part costs nothing.
  2. A look at how you workThe tools you use, the handoffs between people, and where things fall through.
  3. A written plan with a priceWhat I’d build, what it costs, and what I’d need from you. You decide.
  4. Build, test, hand overSomething that works, plus plain-English notes on how it runs. I stay reachable after.

Not a trades business?

Most of my background is solar, electrical and home services. The same problems show up in any small business that runs on calls, quotes and appointments: leads that wait too long, tools that don’t talk, and hours lost to retyping. Call anyway.

Tell me what’s slowing you down.

Call or text. If I don’t pick up, leave a message and I’ll call you back. A first conversation costs nothing.
