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.
3 of 5 seats open · next start date: September 1
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
Twenty focused hours of my month routinely returns 40–60 of yours — because a stuck task costs more than the doing of it. Every restart, every “I’ll deal with it later,” every password you can’t find is a tax on top of the task. I take the task. You get the tax back.
Call it 10 hours a week returned: 40 hours a month for $1,500 is 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.
-
You tell me what’s stuck.
What you run, what you want off your plate, what you’ve already tried. Three sentences does it.
-
We talk for 20 minutes.
If it’s a fit and a seat is open, we pick a start date. If it’s not, I’ll tell you who to call instead — that answer is free.
-
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. Owner time back: 10–15 hours a week, every week.
-
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 everything 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.
06 — About
The person behind the seat.
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 — Straight answers
- How much time do I actually get?
- About 20 hours a month — roughly a day a week, plus the standing session. 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.
Or just email tyler@tylergraham.com — I read everything myself.
