How we work

How we work with clients

Every engagement starts the same way. A free discovery meeting, a short intake form, and a written audit that shows exactly what needs fixing and what it costs. You decide what to move forward with. No obligation until you say go.

Free, every time.

Book your free discovery meeting

  • 30 min discovery call
  • 5 to 7 min intake form
  • 1 to 2 days to your audit
  • $0 until you say go

Step 1 of 4

Book a discovery meeting and fill out the intake.

Pick a time that works. You'll get a short intake form by email. It takes five to seven minutes and covers the basics: your business, your service area, how customers find you today, what tools you use, and where you feel the most friction.

If you'd rather talk than type, one of our team can walk through it with you over the phone.

The answers let us prepare, so the 30 minutes on the call go to your business specifically, not to background questions that could have been answered in writing.

Your part

  • Book a time
  • Answer the intake, five to seven minutes

Our part

  • Read every answer before the call
  • Prepare specific questions for your situation

Step 2 of 4

The discovery meeting.

30 minutes, on Zoom or in person around Grand Junction. We come in already familiar with your business and ask about what's working, what isn't, and what you'd change if you could.

The call is recorded so nothing you tell us gets lost. At the end you don't have to do anything. The next step happens on our end.

What gets covered

  • How customers currently find your business online
  • Whether you show up in AI search results like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity
  • Your website, booking, invoicing and customer follow-up
  • Where time and money leak week over week
  • What your competitors are doing that you aren't

Your part

  • Show up and talk about your business
  • That's it

Our part

  • Listen, ask, and take the notes
  • Turn the call into the audit

Step 3 of 4

The Diagnostic Audit.

Within a day or two of the call we deliver two things at no charge: a written Diagnostic Audit and a presentation built around your specific situation. Your own words from the call are quoted back where they matter. The numbers from your operation are charted. The way your business runs is laid out so we share one picture.

The audit organizes recommended work into two paths so you see the whole picture without committing to all of it.

The Catalog Path

Structured work drawn from a defined set of services, organized into Phase 1 (start here), Phase 2 (the next six months) and Deferred (would help, held back for budget or sequencing). Each item has a fixed scope, a fixed price and a delivery estimate. Anything you already have working well is left out.

The Custom Engagement Path

Operational and infrastructure work that doesn't fit a catalog. Scoped to your business, your tools and how your team actually operates.

See what an audit looks like before you book. We walk through one using a hypothetical business.

The audit is a diagnostic, not a sales pitch. If nothing in it is worth acting on, you say so and we part ways. No charge, no obligation.

Yours to keep.

Your part

  • Read it
  • Ask anything

Our part

  • Write the audit and build the presentation
  • Deliver both within a day or two

Step 4 of 4

The strategy briefing.

We meet for an hour, in person or on Zoom, and walk through the audit and the presentation slide by slide. You see your own situation reflected back and we talk through what matters most.

When it's time to talk money, you don't get a static PDF with a take-it-or-leave-it total. We open a live investment summary together. As we discuss what fits your budget and timing, line items toggle on and off and the total recalculates on screen. The scope gets built with you, not delivered to you.

When we agree on what's in and what's out, the same page produces a signature-ready statement of work and master services agreement. You sign when you're ready, not under pressure on the call.

You can move forward with everything, a few things, or nothing. No minimum commitment.

Your part

  • Decide what's in and what's out
  • Sign when you're ready

Our part

  • Walk you through every priority
  • Produce the contracts on the spot

What happens after we sign

We scope each piece of work with a clear timeline, build it, and ship it. Then we keep it running.

The relationship doesn't reset every time we talk. As the work progresses your business changes. New priorities surface. Old assumptions stop being true. The systems we build keep up with where your business actually is, not where it was when we signed. You never start over or re-explain how things work.

Who this is for

We work with independent contractors and owner-operated businesses on the Western Slope of Colorado. Plumbers, electricians, landscapers, HVAC technicians, roofers, painters, handymen and similar trades. On the real estate side: brokerages, loan officers, inspectors and title teams. Different jobsite, same problem.

The right client for this engagement is someone who:

  • Knows the tech side of the business needs attention but doesn't have time to figure out where to start
  • Wants local people who understand the trades, not an agency in Denver or a call center overseas
  • Is willing to invest in fixing problems that cost real time and money every week

This is not the right fit for enterprise businesses, pure marketing campaigns, or social media management.
