The quiet leak
You're not losing jobs to competitors.
You're losing them to admin.
When you're on a job, behind the counter, or in someone's kitchen, the phone rings out. The quote sits half-written. The follow-up never goes. Here's where the money actually goes missing:
Slow follow-ups
Enquiries answered a day later go cold. Speed is the whole advantage you can actually control.
Manual admin
Re-typing the same details into the calendar, the invoice and the text message. Every single time.
Forgotten reviews
Happy customers would leave a review — nobody ever gets round to asking them.
What I automate
Honestly, we can automate pretty much anything
If it's something you or your team do over and over — answer it, chase it, remind someone, write it up — there's a good chance it can run on its own. No new system to learn and nothing ripped out; these plug into your phone, inbox and calendar, and you approve anything that matters before it goes out. Here are a few examples to start the conversation:
Missed-call text back
Every unanswered call gets an instant, friendly text: who you are, when you'll ring back, and a link to book. The lead stays yours.
AI phone & message answering
An assistant that answers common questions — hours, prices, location, availability — in your words, and hands the real ones straight to you.
Bookings & reminders
Customers book a slot that fits your real calendar. Confirmations and reminders go out on their own, so no-shows drop.
Quote & follow-up chasing
Quotes sent get chased on a schedule you set. Polite, on brand, and stopped the moment someone replies.
Review requests on autopilot
Job finished, text sent, review link in hand — while the customer still remembers how well it went.
Inbox triage & weekly summary
Enquiries sorted and drafted for you, plus one plain-English weekly report: calls, bookings, what was handled.
Don't see it here? Bring it to the call anyway — if you're doing it by hand and doing it often, it's worth asking about.
Why work with me
I'm local. Not a remote builder you'll never speak to again.
Plenty of people will sell you automation over a video call from another timezone, hand over a login, and disappear into a support queue. I live and work here — in Burlington. If something needs sorting, I can be at your counter, not "on a ticket".
- We meet face to face
I'll sit in your shop and watch how the work actually flows before I automate a single thing.
- Same timezone, same day
Call or message during business hours and you get me — not a chatbot and not a 3am reply window.
- I know the local customer
Your customers are my neighbours. The messages sound like this town, not like a template.
- You own everything
Your accounts, your numbers, your data. Nothing is held hostage, and you can walk away any time.
- Always available
Direct phone and WhatsApp. If something breaks on a Saturday morning, you're not filing a ticket.
- My name is on it
I'm around here. A business I let down is one I'd bump into at the shops — so I don't.
How it works
From first call to running on its own — usually inside two weeks
-
1
Free 15-minute call
A quick, no-pitch chat. You tell me where the time goes; I tell you honestly what's worth automating — and what isn't.
-
2
A plan with a fixed price
I write down exactly what gets built, what it costs and what it should save you. No hourly surprises.
-
3
I build and test it
Built on your accounts, tested on real cases, and shown to you working before anything touches a live customer.
-
4
Live, with a local person behind it
I train your team in plain English, then keep an eye on it. Tweaks, seasonal changes, new ideas — just call me.
In practice
What this looks like on a normal Tuesday
Example scenarios showing how a typical setup behaves. Your build gets shaped around your business on the call.
The salon mid-appointment
Phone rings while you're mid-colour. Caller gets a text in 30 seconds with your booking link, picks Thursday at 2, and it lands in your calendar before you've rinsed.
The trade van at 7pm
Three quotes went out Monday. By Thursday, each one has had a polite nudge — and the chasing stops automatically the second someone replies.
The café inbox
Catering enquiries get sorted from the newsletters, answered with your standard menu and pricing, and only the unusual ones reach you.
Pricing
Priced around what it's worth to you
There's no price list. A missed-call fix for a two-person shop and a full front-desk build for a ten-van crew solve very different problems, so they get priced differently. On the call, we work out what the fix is actually worth to your business — then agree a fixed number before anything starts. No hourly billing, ever, and nothing moves until you've said yes to the number.

Free discovery call
15 minutes. No pitch.
Just a straight answer.
Tell me where your week disappears and I'll tell you what can be automated, what it would roughly cost, and what I'd leave alone. If nothing's worth doing, I'll say so — you've lost a quarter of an hour, that's all.
- No obligation and nothing to prepare
- Phone, video, or I'll come to you
- You'll leave with a clear next step either way

FAQ
Questions people actually ask
Is the 15-minute call really free?
Yes — free, and there's no obligation afterwards. It's how I work out whether I can genuinely help. If I can't, I'll point you somewhere better.
Will my customers know they're talking to an AI?
Automated texts are written in your voice and say clearly that a real person will follow up. I don't build anything that pretends to be you — it damages trust, and small towns notice.
I'm not technical at all. Is that a problem?
Not remotely — most of my clients aren't. I set everything up, explain it in plain English, and you carry on using your phone and calendar exactly as you do now.
Do I have to change the software I use?
Almost never. These automations sit on top of the tools you already have. If something genuinely needs replacing, I'll tell you why and what it costs before anything happens.
How long until it's running?
A single automation is often live within a week. A full setup usually takes two. You'll see it working before it ever touches a real customer.
What if it breaks while I'm busy?
Call me. I'm local and I answer my phone during business hours — and if it needs hands-on fixing, I'll come to you rather than talk you through it down a line.
Am I tied into a contract?
No. The build is a one-off fee and monthly support can be cancelled any time. Everything runs on accounts in your name, so nothing stops working if we part ways.
