For Service Businesses
The single highest-leverage hire you can make right now isn't a person.
Service businesses — real estate, construction, professional services, home services — are sitting on top of the most automatable workflows in the economy. Quoting, scheduling, knowledge capture, client comms, lead gen. I build the systems. You keep them.
Where I tend to add value
Knowledge capture before it walks out the door
Senior people — admins, project managers, estimators — carry 20 years of context in their heads. When they retire or leave, that context goes with them. We codify it into a system your team can query forever.
Sales hubs and account intelligence
AI-powered briefs on your top customers, suppliers, prospects — pulled together automatically, updated weekly. The kind of thing your top rep does manually, scaled across the team.
Quote / estimate / scope automation
Interactive estimators, service-area validation, dynamic pricing logic — the stuff that turns a 2-hour quote process into a 10-minute one.
Lead gen and back-office plumbing
Funnel tracking, automated follow-ups, Sheets-based ops dashboards. Boring, high-leverage, often the highest-ROI work in the engagement.
My background here — Gabe Blanchet
I grew up around general contracting and have spent years working with service businesses. I built Rent A Pool Boise, my own venture rather than a client project, from idea to operational in weeks: brand, marketing site, interactive estimator with Google Maps service-area validation, early-bird pricing, GA4 funnel, and a Sheets back-office on Apps Script.
Then the demand signal came back thin and I closed it. That's the pattern I bring: build fast on tools you already understand, measure honestly, and don't let sunk cost make the call.
