What your client gets

Foundations, in brief

For a business of one or two people

  • A kick-off session to map how you work.
  • Up to five systems set up in your own tools: email and folders, calendar and online booking, client records and enquiries, shared files, and quote and invoice templates.
  • A written how-to guide for each system.
  • One on-site day, up to 5 hours.
  • A handover call, and a check-in 30 days later.

Before and after

A new unit, before and after

Watch the string close round it, then slide between the two yourself.

Before: a new shop and studio unit on move-in day, bare shelving, spare shelf boards against the wall, flat-pack boxes on the floor, coiled cables and loose papers on the counter.
Before
After: the same unit set up and ready to open, a pale oak counter with a card reader and labelled trays, stock in neat rows on oak shelving.
After
  • Diary rules
  • Folders
  • Client stages
