The problem

Too much to do, not enough hands.

Sound familiar?

  • You're the bottleneck: everything comes back to you.
  • Evenings and weekends go on admin, quotes and invoices.
  • Leads slip because nobody followed up in time.
  • You answer the same customer questions every day.
  • You've tried ChatGPT, but it hasn't changed how the business runs.
  • You can't justify another hire just for admin.

What changes

  • Your time back: repetitive jobs handled for you, not by you.
  • No more dropped balls: every enquiry and follow-up happens on time.
  • Extra hands without hiring: AI does the first draft; your team checks it.
  • Get paid sooner: invoices and reminders go out without chasing.
  • You stay in control: nothing important goes out without a person checking it.

~40%: the share of their week salespeople spend actually selling, according to Salesforce's State of Sales report (7th edition). The rest goes on non-selling work such as data entry. How much time AI could give back to you is something we estimate properly in a paid AI Quick Scan.

Examples

Example AI workflows (illustrative scenarios)

These are illustrative example scenarios, not client case studies. Real results depend on your data, processes and volumes.

Illustrative outcome: More time on calls with candidates and clients, with consistent notes on every record.

Our promises

What we will and won't do

We're a new consultancy, so here is exactly what you can hold us to.

We will

  • Keep you in charge. Nothing customer-facing, financial or hiring-related goes out without a person on your team approving it.
  • Build in your own accounts. Your data stays in your tools, and everything is handed over with a runbook and a recorded walkthrough.
  • Agree a fixed price first. If the AI Quick Scan can't name at least 2 automations with an estimated payback under 12 months, you get your £495 back.
  • Speak plain English. No jargon, and a straight answer if AI isn't the right fix.

We won't

  • Lock you in. Projects are fixed-scope. Monthly support has a 3-month minimum, then 30 days' notice.
  • Ask for logins up front. The free first look uses public information only.
  • Sell you software for a commission. We have no vendor partnerships.
  • Share your name or results without your written permission.

Founding clients wanted

We're new, and we'd rather prove it than claim it. Our first 5 founding clients get 25% off their first build and their first 3 months of Care Lite or Care (up to £2,000 off), in return for an honest written testimonial and a short case study once you've seen results.

  • 5 places, at most 2 per industry. Closes 28 Feb 2027
  • Your testimonial is never scripted or required to be positive
  • Results published only with your approval

Common questions

Where should a small business start with AI?

Start with one repetitive job that happens every week, follows the same steps and is cheap to fix if it goes wrong, such as replying to new enquiries, chasing follow-ups or filing call notes. Let AI do the first draft and keep a person approving what goes out. Prove it works, then add the next job. Get your free AI audit.

Do we need to switch CRM or buy new software?

Usually not. The aim is to get more from HubSpot, Salesforce and the tools you already pay for. If a new tool is genuinely worth it, we'll explain why and what it costs before you commit. See the 14 workflows.

Will AI replace my staff?

That isn't the aim. We use AI for first drafts and repetitive steps, such as reading enquiries, summarising calls and sorting tickets, and a person on your team checks anything important before it goes out. The goal is to give your team time back, not to remove them. How we work.

Not sure where AI could help?

Start with a free 30-minute call and a short first look at 2–3 places AI could help. No tool access needed, no obligation. When you want a proper plan, the paid next step is the AI Quick Scan.
