Plain words are fine. Plumbing, salon, clinic, staffing, tours.
Which of these eat your week?
Pick as many as apply. Most owners have two or three.
If you could hand the biggest one off tomorrow, what would it need to do?
One or two lines. This is the part that makes the call about your business
instead of about AI.
Tried to fix this before?
Software, a new hire, a VA, anything.
Roughly how many hours a week does it eat?
Across everyone who touches it. A rough guess is fine.
What is an hour of your time worth?
Not your billing rate. Closer to what you would pay someone good to take
this off your hands.
What is one job worth to you, roughly?
Average ticket. It changes the answer more than anything else here.
What were you expecting something like this to cost?
Rough is fine. It decides what I recommend, so an honest answer gets you a
better one.
If it were the right build, when would you want it running?

Conservative on purpose. One slipped job a month, and your own hours valued
at the rate you gave me, not a billing rate.
Here is what handing it off actually looks like.

That is a real range for this scope, not a placeholder, and not a quote.
A scope call moves it inside the range or tells us it is the wrong build. Everything is
custom, so the only way the number is wrong is if the scope changes.
What the call actually is
Thirty minutes on Zoom, and it is a working session, not a pitch. You have already done the part
most calls waste: I know what is eating your week, what it costs you, and roughly what
building the fix looks like. So we skip all of that.
I walk you through the build above and where I would start, in order.
You tell me where I have it wrong. You know your week better than a form does.
We land on one number and one start date, or I tell you it is not worth building.
The breakdown above is yours either way, whether we end up working together or not.
Come ready to decide one thing: whether the first
piece is worth building this month, or whether it waits.
Straight answer: not yet.
At that budget I would be selling you something that will not pay for itself, and I would
rather tell you now than on a call. The smallest thing I build starts around $3,000, because
below that the build is too thin to survive contact with a real week.
Come back when one job is worth more, or when the hours have grown. The number above is
yours to keep either way.
If you think I have that wrong, mail me at okama@nevermisshawaii.com and
make the case. I have been wrong about this before.
Want me to walk you through it?
Thirty minutes on Zoom, then you know exactly what to build first and what it costs.
Five fields, then you pick a time.
Goes straight to me, not a queue. No list, no newsletter, no drip.
