Specialisms

Where I can help most

Eight years of pattern recognition across 300+ businesses. These are the areas where I consistently make the biggest impact.

01

AI Strategy and Implementation

Building AI systems that actually work in real businesses. Not theory. Not demos. Production-grade AI deployed in days, not months. Every system I recommend is one I have built and run myself.

02

Sales Systems and Lead Generation

Turning enquiries into clients without manual effort. 24/7 response, qualification, and booking systems. Companies that respond in 5 seconds are 9x more likely to close. I build the systems that make that happen.

03

Business Transformation and Growth

Restructuring businesses to grow revenue without growing headcount. Five exits. Three acquisitions. I know what it takes to build a business that can scale without breaking.

04

Digital Presence and Brand Authority

Building online authority that attracts serious buyers. AEO, GEO, SEO, content strategy, website design, and brand positioning. Your digital presence should do the selling. Most do not.

Investment

Choose your engagement

Transparent pricing. No hidden fees. Every engagement starts with a clear outcome and a fair price.

Questions

Common questions about consultation

Who is this for?

Founders, CEOs, and senior leaders of businesses earning between $250k and $10M per year who want to grow revenue, implement AI, or fix a specific business problem. If you are under $250k, start with the AI Company Upgrade first. If you are over $10M, the advisory retainer is likely the right fit. This is for decision makers who act on advice and want concrete results.

What makes this different from hiring a consultant?

Most consultants sell time and charge for thinking. I sell outcomes and charge for expertise. I have built 7 businesses, exited 5, and run a company serving 300+ businesses. I do not theorise. I have done it, I know what works, and I tell you directly. No 90-page decks. No fluff. Just clear answers to your hardest business questions.

Why is the monthly advisory $3,500?

Because that is the market rate for a CEO-level strategic partner who has actually done it. McKinsey charges $1,193 per hour for senior partners. Big 4 firms charge $300-600 per hour. Independent AI consultants charge $300-500 per hour. Two calls per month plus direct WhatsApp access between sessions is worth $3,500 if the advice is right. If you are making decisions that move the needle, the ROI is immediate and measurable.

What is included in the Discovery Session?

One 60-minute strategy call, a pre-session questionnaire so we use the time efficiently, a written 90-day action plan delivered within 48 hours, and a recording of the full session. You walk away with a clear plan, not just a conversation.

Can I upgrade from a Discovery Session to ongoing advisory?

Yes. Most monthly advisory clients start with a Discovery Session. It is how we both figure out if we are the right fit before committing to a longer engagement. After the session, if you want ongoing support, we can discuss the monthly advisory structure and seamlessly transition your relationship.

What does value-based pricing mean for custom projects?

It means we agree the outcome upfront, then price based on what that outcome is worth to your business, not on how many hours we work. If a project will generate $500k in new revenue, paying $50k for it is obvious. This approach aligns our incentives. We only do well if you do well.

Do you have capacity?

Monthly advisory is intentionally limited to 8 clients at any time to ensure quality and attention. If there is no current availability, you will go on a priority waitlist. Discovery Sessions have more capacity and availability throughout the year. Book via the form and we will confirm within 48 hours whether we can proceed.

What industries do you work in?

Service businesses, agencies, consultancies, SaaS, ecommerce, professional services, media. If you sell something and want to sell more of it more efficiently, I can help. I have worked with businesses across entertainment (Netflix, BBC), automotive (Mercedes, Land Rover), hospitality, health, finance, and digital services.
