The Entry Point

I'll Find You Five Hours a Week.
Or You Don't Pay.

The Five Hour Assessment is a paid 90-minute working session for contractors and home service businesses. It costs $997 CAD, one time. I map how your business actually runs, then send you a written roadmap naming five to seven specific automations that hand you back at least five hours every week, what each one costs to build, and what it is costing you to keep doing it by hand. If I cannot find five hours, you pay nothing. And if you decide to have the work done, the $997 comes off the build.

$997 CADOne time. Credited toward any build.

Five hours a week back, or a full refund.

Most contractors spend more than that in a month paying someone to do work a system should be doing.

Buy the Assessment

You pay first, then pick your time. That is on purpose. It keeps the session short, prepared and worth both our while.

You are not short of work. You are short of hours.

Every contractor I meet in North Bay says a version of the same thing. Busy every year, plenty of repeat customers, and quoting at nine o'clock at night because that is the only quiet hour in the day.

That is not a lead problem, so more marketing will not touch it. It is an operations problem, and it is usually five or six small jobs that a system should be doing instead of you. Nobody sold you those jobs. They accumulated.

The Five Hour Assessment finds them, prices them, and puts them in order. You get a plan you could hand to any competent person, including yourself.

What you actually get for $997

Where the five hours usually hide

These are the six places I find time in almost every contracting business. Your mix will differ. The pattern rarely does.

What is eating the timeWhat it looks like in your week
Calls nobody answersYou are under a sink or up a ladder and the phone rings out. ServiceTitan's 2024 Contractor Industry Report puts unanswered contractor calls at 62%. An AI receptionist answers every one and books the estimate.
The same twenty questionsPricing, service area, are you insured, how soon can you come. Answered by hand, one message at a time, usually at night. Conversational AI handles it across every channel.
Quote follow-upThe quote goes out and then nothing, because chasing feels like begging. A follow-up sequence does it politely, on a schedule, forever.
Chasing reviewsThe job goes well, the customer is delighted, and nobody asks. Reviews AI asks at the moment they are happiest.
The customer list nobody touchesYears of past customers sitting in a phone, a notebook or a dead spreadsheet. Database reactivation turns that list into booked work without buying a single lead.
Paperwork after hoursInvoices, deposits, scheduling, the same three forms retyped. This is the boring half of the list and usually the biggest single block of hours.

Notice what is missing from that table: buying more leads. If you want that side of the business fixed too, the Zero Lead Loss System is where that conversation goes, and the assessment will tell you honestly which of the two you actually need.

How it works

1

You pay the $997

One payment, on the page. No call to get a price, no proposal to wait for.

2

You pick your time and answer a short questionnaire

Ten minutes, before the session. It covers what you sell, roughly what a job is worth, and what tools you already pay for, so we do not spend the session on basics.

3

We spend 90 minutes on your business

Zoom, or in person if you are in North Bay. I ask where time is lost, where work is repeated, and where people are waiting on information. Those three questions find almost everything.

4

You get the roadmap within five business days

Five to seven automations, priced, with the cost of inaction and a 90-day order of operations.

The guarantee, in plain words

If I cannot name at least five hours a week of work that can come off your plate, you get the $997 back in full, and you keep the notes.

No forms, no window to argue about, no partial refund. I am able to offer that because in fifteen years of doing this I have never sat with a contractor and failed to find five hours. If you are the first, you should not have to pay to prove it.

Who this is for, and who it is not

A good fit

  • You are busy and working more hours than you want to
  • You already have customers and repeat work
  • You are doing admin at night or on Sundays
  • You pay for software you are not really using
  • You want a plan before you spend on a build

Not a fit

  • Your schedule is empty and you need leads first
  • You want somebody to just build a website
  • You are shopping for the cheapest quote in town
  • You want a report to sit on rather than act on

If the honest answer is leads, say so on the call and I will point you at the Zero Lead Loss System instead. Selling you the wrong thing costs me more than it makes me.

What happens after the roadmap

Three things happen, and all three are fine by me.

You do it yourself. A good share of what I find is a setting you already own or a tool you already pay for. When that is true, I say so in the report.

You have me build it. Builds run $5,000 to $10,000 CAD depending on scope, with the $997 credited, and ongoing management from $497 CAD a month. See pricing and how it works.

You do nothing. It happens. You still have the number showing what that decision costs per month, which is more than most owners have ever had in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Five Hour Assessment?
A paid 90-minute working session for contractors and home service businesses. I map how your business actually runs day to day, then send a written roadmap naming five to seven specific automations that give you back at least five hours every week. $997 CAD one time, credited toward any build you decide to do.
Why is it paid instead of free?
Because a free audit is worth what you pay for it. Paying means both of us prepare, we look at real numbers, and you own a written deliverable whether or not you ever hire me. The $997 is credited toward any build, so it costs nothing extra if you go ahead.
What if you cannot find five hours?
You pay nothing. If, by the end of the session, I cannot name at least five hours a week of work that can come off your plate, I refund the $997 in full and you keep the notes.
Do I have to buy anything else afterward?
No. The roadmap is yours. Plenty of the fixes are things your own team can handle, and I will tell you when that is the case. If you want it done for you, builds run $5,000 to $10,000 CAD with the $997 credited, and management starts at $497 CAD a month.
How long does the report take?
Within five business days of the session. Each automation comes with what it costs to build, what it costs you to keep doing by hand, and where it sits in a 90-day order of operations.
Do I need to use AI?
Only where it is genuinely the right tool. I look at what you already pay for first, because the cheapest automation is one you have already bought and never switched on.
Who is this not for?
Anyone whose real problem is an empty schedule. If you need more work coming in, start with the Zero Lead Loss System. This session is for owners who are busy and out of hours.
Where do you run it?
Over Zoom for contractors anywhere in Ontario and across Canada, or in person if you are in North Bay or the Nipissing area.
