Sessions
The first call is twenty minutes and free.
What would a new fence cost?
A real figure now, no phone call needed.
Your rough estimate
$7,400 to $8,900
Including removal of the old fence.
Every name, figure and date in these pictures is invented. The screens are the real software.
What actually happens
Before
You send over the job that eats your week.
The session
Ninety minutes, on your screen, on the real thing.
The end of it
It runs, and it keeps running without you.
Until next time
You use it, with notes and the recording to lean on.
The ninety minutes, in the order it happens
First ten minutes
You show us the job. Screen shared, the real thing open, no tidying up first. We agree out loud what would count as finished today.
The next hour
We build it while you drive. You do the parts you will have to do again next week, and we talk you through the parts you will not.
Last twenty minutes
We run it start to finish on your own real information, twice. Then you write down, in your words, what you are going to use it for before the next session.
We work on your real job
Not an example, not a sample company. Your quote, your inbox, your Monday morning. If it is not something you actually do, we are not doing it.
You drive where it counts
Watching somebody else do it is how people forget. You do the parts you will have to do again on your own, and we sit with you while you do them.
Nothing is finished until it runs
A session does not end on a good idea. It ends with a thing that works when you close the window, or it is not finished and we say so.
What you have at the end of every one
Where most people start
What you walk away owning
Overnight estimate requests
Each one already has a name, a job and a rough figure.
New since you closed up
3 newAny hour
The visitor gets a real figure at eleven at night, and nobody has to pick up a phone.
No experience needed
Nobody in the four-session track writes any software at all.
Yours
Your website, your account, yours to change. Nothing you make depends on us still being here.
The two tracks
Four sessions
For an owner who wants the boring half of the week doing itself, and has no interest in building anything.
$1,800
Four sessions, 90 minutes each
You walk away with
You leave with one thing in your business running by itself.
Eight sessions
For an owner who has been describing the same missing tool for two years and wants to be the one who builds it.
$3,600
Eight sessions, 90 minutes each
You walk away with
You leave with a working tool your staff use, and you know how to change it.
Session by session, $1,800
Find the three jobs worth handing over
We go through your actual week and pick the three jobs that eat the most time and need the least judgement. You finish the hour knowing which one we do first, and why it is that one.
Get answers you would put your name on
We work on your real emails, your real quotes, your real reports. We keep going until what comes back is a first draft you would send, rather than something you have to rewrite anyway.
One job that runs without you
We build one thing, live, in the session. Something that happens on its own from that day on. Not a demonstration you watch. A real one, still going when you shut the laptop.
Something that knows your business
We set it up with your own words, your prices, your customers and the jobs you do most often. It stops guessing at your business, because it has been told about it.
Session by session, $3,600
The ground work
The four-session track, compressed into two. Enough to be quick and confident before we start building anything, so the building time is spent building.
Work that happens on its own
Real jobs joined up end to end. An enquiry that files itself. A reminder that sends itself. A record that writes itself. Joined to the things you already use, not to a demonstration account.
Answers out of your own records
Your customer list, your documents, your price list. The answers start coming out of your business instead of out of the internet, and you can see which line each one came from.
Build it, and put it live
We build the thing you have been describing for two years and put it live on your own web address, with your name on it. Then we make sure you can change it yourself afterwards.
If you outgrow it. If what you build gets bigger than you want to look after, we can take it over and build it properly. Sessions clients pay less for a build than anyone else, because half the work of a build is understanding the business, and by then we already do.
Why not just buy a course
A video cannot look at your screen
Anybody can show you the buttons. Nobody on the internet can look at your prices, your customers and the way you actually put a quote together, and tell you what to change. That gap is the entire job, and it is the only thing we do.
You finish, because somebody is waiting
A video waits for you forever, and there is always something more urgent than a video. A booked hour with a person in it does not wait. You turn up, and something gets finished that day.
It is right for this month
This moves faster than anything can be recorded. A course filmed in the spring is already partly wrong by the autumn. What happens in a session is what works now, on the tools as they are today.
Nothing you do not need
A course teaches everybody everything, in order, from the beginning. Four sessions do the parts of your own job and skip the rest, which is why they are four and not forty.
And the honest version. Sometimes the right answer is something you can buy off a shelf for forty dollars a month. If that is what your business needs, you will hear it in the first session, rather than after the fourth.
The standard we hold it to
Draft: spring fence post
Waiting for youSpring is the time to replace a tired fence. Our cedar runs from $230 a metre installed, and every post we set carries a ten-year warranty. Ask for a rough figure on our website any time, day or night.
Checks that ran
A drafted post on the left, and every check that ran on it on the right. Two claims were taken out: one because no source said it, one because it was on the owner's own list of words never to use. Every name and figure is invented.
What drafting does not do. Nothing goes out on its own. You read and approve every piece before it can leave. An approved email arrives in your own mail tool as a draft for you to send, and an approved post only goes anywhere if you have connected a scheduling account of your own. With nothing connected, you copy it and post it yourself.
It drafts, you decide
Nothing you set up in a session sends anything to a customer on its own. A person reads it first, every time, and that person is you.
Made-up facts are the risk
Left alone it will invent a figure that sounds right. We spend a whole session on stopping that, because one invented number in front of a client costs more than this.
Your words, not its words
We feed it what you have already written and said, so what comes back sounds like your business. That is most of the difference between useful and embarrassing.
Before you book
This is for you if
This is not for you if
Businesses this fits well
Not on that list? It still works. Every business has a week with the same three jobs in it. Tell us what yours are and we will say honestly whether this is the right thing to spend the money on.
Afterwards, if you want it
Stay current
For people who have finished a track
$500a month
Month to month. Stop any month, nothing to cancel but the payment.
The things people ask before they book
Four sessions usually run across four to six weeks, one a week, with a gap where you need one. Eight run across eight to twelve. You set the pace, and pausing costs nothing.
No. If you run a business on email, a phone and a spreadsheet, you can do this. Nobody is asked to write a line of software in the four-session track.
Move it. Sessions do not expire and there is no clock running against you. Busy season is a reason to pause, not a reason to lose anything.
Yes, at no extra cost, as long as it is the same business and the same screen. More than two and it stops being a session and starts being a class, which is a different thing and not as useful.
Remote on a shared screen is normal, and it is the better way to do it, because we are working on your machine. In person around Calgary can be arranged.
Then you will hear that in the first session. If the answer for your business is something you can buy off a shelf for forty dollars a month, we will say so rather than sell you three more sessions.
Booking a session
A few questions about what you want working, and nothing is charged or booked by answering them. One person reads every one of these and replies within two business days with some times to choose from.
