What actually happens, start to finish

No workshops, no discovery phase, no slide deck. The first conversation is twenty minutes and the honest answer might be that you don't need any of this.

1

A twenty minute conversation

What arrives, where it arrives, and what currently happens to it. If automating it would save you twenty minutes a month, you get told that instead of sold something.

2

Built and tested on your real messages

Not a generic template. It gets tuned against inquiries your business has actually received, because a system that mislabels your work is worse than no system.

3

You watch it run before it goes live

Nothing touches a real customer until you have seen it handle a dozen of your own messages and you are happy with what it writes.

4

It runs, and it gets looked after

Things break. Logins expire, forms get edited, tools push updates. You get told when it happens, and it gets fixed. That is the part people underestimate.

It sits on top of what you already pay for

There is no Northflow app to install and no new subscription to learn. The systems connect the tools you already have, which means if you ever stop working with us, your data is exactly where it always was.

  • Your contact form, whether that is your website, Google Forms or something your nephew built in 2019.
  • Your inbox. Gmail, Outlook, whatever the business actually runs on.
  • Your spreadsheet or CRM, if you have one. A spreadsheet is completely fine and often better.
  • Your calendar, for anything involving booking.
  • Your phone number, for missed call rescue and texts.

Roughly what it's worth

Drag these to your own numbers. It is deliberately conservative, and it counts only the time, not the jobs you win by answering first.

Your numbers

2.3
hours back every week
112 hours a year
$7,280 of your time back

Assumes roughly 70% of that handling time is the genuinely repetitive part, and 48 working weeks. The remaining 30% still needs you, and always will.

What you need to have ready

  • Twenty or thirty real inquiries from the last few months. Screenshots are fine.
  • A rough sense of what you would say back to each kind of them.
  • Login access to the tools it needs to touch, set up on your accounts, in your name.
