For owners who are the backup for too many jobs

Get 10–15 hours a week back.
Without hiring.

One person embedded in your business every month — sales, marketing, operations, and the tools underneath. $1,500 a month. Five clients total. That’s the whole roster.

A few sentences about your business is enough. No pitch deck, no discovery-call gauntlet.

01 — The problem

You’re not bad at delegating. There’s nobody to delegate to.

So the quote template waits on you. The follow-ups wait on you. The inventory mismatch, the tool that stopped syncing in March, the marketing that goes silent every time you get busy — all of it queues behind the one person who’s already full.

A specialist covers one lane and hands the middle back to you. A full-time hire is salary, benefits, management, and months of onboarding — for a problem that needs maybe 15 hours a week.

So the work waits. Not because you’re lazy. Because you’re out of hours. That’s the gap I work in.

02 — The offer

A seat on the roster. Here’s exactly what it buys.

$1,500 a month. Month to month. Walk any month it’s not obviously worth it.

  • ~20 hours a month of hands-on work

    Across sales, marketing, operations, and the tools underneath — whatever’s stuck that month, not a package menu.

  • A standing weekly working session

    Same time every week, yours.

  • Direct access

    You text or email me, I answer. No ticket portal, no account manager, no “team.”

  • An honest handoff when you outgrow me

    When you need a specialist or a full-time hire, I’ll say so and help you spec the role.

The math

If we hand you back even 10 hours a week, that’s 40 hours a month for $1,500 — about $37 an hour to buy back owner time. Less than $375 a week. You already know what your week costs you.

I’m not an expert at every craft in the building, and I won’t pretend to be. I’m the person who’s fluent across all of it — which is exactly what the messy middle needs.

03 — How it works

Three steps. No gauntlet.

  1. 01

    You tell me what’s stuck.

    What you run, what you want off your plate, what you’ve already tried. Three sentences does it.

  2. 02

    We talk for 20 minutes.

    If it’s a fit and a seat is open, we pick a start date. If it’s not a fit, I’ll tell you who to call instead — that answer is free.

  3. 03

    Work starts the first of the month.

    Week one: access, context, and the first thing off your plate. Most owners feel the difference by week two.

04 — Proof

What the work has looked like.

10–15 hours a week, back to the owner

A small operation where the owner carried every recurring task. I connected the tools, wrote the steps down, and took the admin. 10–15 hours of owner time back, every week — that’s the norm for roster clients, not the exception.

A tasting room that closed in half the time

Paper system, end-of-day chaos. Moved them to POS and real inventory. Mismatches down 20%. Closing took half as long.

Software spend, cut to what earns its seat

A full audit of what was already on the invoice. Dropped the extras, connected what was left. Less spend, fewer logins, one place the truth lives.

05 — What a month can look like

Real items off real rosters.

  • Rebuilt the quote template so it stopped needing the owner
  • Set up the CRM and the follow-up sequence that “kept not happening”
  • Killed four overlapping subscriptions, connected the two that matter
  • Documented close-out so anyone can do it, not just you
  • Chased the outstanding invoices. All of them.
  • Wrote and sent the campaign that had slipped three months running
  • Fixed the handoff where orders kept getting dropped

If three of these are on your list right now, a seat pays for itself in month one.

The person behind the seat.

People are hiring Tyler, not Graham International

I’m Tyler Graham. I’ve been in the middle of a small operation — floor, customers, crews, tools, close-out. Since 2019, that’s been the work: sales, marketing, operations, and technology for businesses too big for one person and too lean for a department.

There’s no team to get handed off to. You get me, a fixed slice of my month, and work that actually gets used. I communicate like an adult.

07 — Who this isn’t for

If any of these is you, save us both the call.

  • You need one deep specialist, not a generalist

    Tell me the problem and I’ll point you at the right person in the first call.

  • You want a task-taker at $8/hour

    A VA executes the list you hand them; I figure out what should be on the list, then do it.

  • You’re genuinely ready to hire full-time

    Then do that, and I’ll help you spec the role so you hire once.

08 — FAQ

The questions everyone asks.

How much time do I actually get?
About 20 hours a month — roughly a day a week, plus the standing session. It’s enough to move real work, which is the point.
What does the first month look like?
Week one is access and context — that part costs you a few hours, and I won’t pretend otherwise. Week two, the first thing comes off your plate. Week four, we have a rhythm and a list of what’s next.
What if my problem needs a specialist?
I tell you fast, and I help you hire or hand off. Keeping a seat I’m wrong for costs me more than it costs you.
How do we communicate?
Text, email, or a call — whatever you actually use. No portal, no ticketing system, no status-theater.
What’s the commitment?
$1,500, month to month. If a month isn’t obviously worth it, you walk. I’d rather lose a seat than keep one on guilt.

09 — Final

What’s stuck?

A few sentences: what you run, what you want off your plate, what you’ve already tried.

If a seat is open, I’ll say so. If it’s not, you’ll be first to know when one opens.
