AI can build anything, but it can’t diagnose bottlenecks. That’s my job.

Residential solar + battery Home services Mortgage Insurance

I work with high-volume services businesses selling direct to consumers, funded or privately held. If your revenue is outrunning the systems behind it, I’ll find where deals stall and build fixes at the speed of AI.

01 Who I help

Leaders I speak with.

Sales

CROs · VPs of Sales · Sales managers

How do we get from lead to signature?

Sample engagementTake the manual steps out of the deal, from first call to signed contract, and build the funnel analysis showing where deals stall.

Operations

Ops managers · Deal desk · Fulfillment · Field teams

How do we get from signature to install?

Sample engagementBuild the project management tasks, dispatch routing, and milestone tracking, so nothing drops between sales team and install crew.

CEOs

Early stage, Seed to C · Privately held, up to $100M

How do we build scalable systems that keep pace with growth?

Sample engagementStand up the sales operation before the first ops hire. I have built an inside sales team's entire infrastructure from nothing: telephony, CRM, lead buying, routing.

04 About

13+ years optimizing sales funnels.

Hi, I'm Tim. I create leverage by finding bottlenecks in the revenue motion and shipping the systems, process changes, or AI tools that clear them. Across my career I've unlocked faster speed-to-close, more volume through the same headcount, and better margins across the funnel. How can I help your business scale?
