Partnership Retainer · $2,500/month + GST

Dedicated operational support in your business.

Imagine 4 days of focused capacity each month on the priorities you set. Variety is the value - what we focus on changes month to month based on what's actually moving your business forward.

Who it's for

Founders ready to stop being the bottleneck in their own back end.

You've built something real. You've got systems, tools, clients, momentum. But your back-end is held together by your own attention - and the moment your attention is elsewhere, things slip.

You don't need a VA who needs you to define every task. You need an operations partner who walks in, sees what needs doing, and does it - while keeping you in the loop without making you the project manager.

The Partnership Retainer is that. You bring the priority each month, I bring the capacity and the skill set. Different focus most months. Same predictable monthly investment.

What you get each month

Structured access, flexible focus.

The structure

  • Monthly strategy + planning call (60 min)
  • Weekly async check-in via Slack or ClickUp
  • Priority response within 24 business hours
  • Quarterly business review (90 min)

The capacity

  • 4 days of focused capacity per month
  • Applied to the priorities you set
  • Ongoing light maintenance of your core systems
  • "This month's focus" note after each strategy call
Variety is the value

What we focus on changes month to month.

Most retainers lock you into one type of work forever. This one doesn't. You bring the month's priority - we agree it together in the planning call - then I deliver. Examples of what a month can look like:

Launch month

Sales page + funnel + emails + automation

You're launching something. Landing page built, email sequence written and queued, lead magnet delivery automated, payment flow tested.

System month

CRM cleanup + new pipeline + SOP docs

Your back-end has grown messy. We map it, clean it, automate what's manual, document what's not.

AI month

Agents built + workflows automated

You want to add AI to your operations. Custom agents, automation flows, prompt library, training - all rolled into the monthly capacity.

Or onboarding flows, migrations, dashboards, lead magnets, pipeline restructures, or a quiet maintenance month. Whatever you need most this month.

In my wheelhouse

The work I do well, and the work I refer out.

In scope (= included)

  • Workflow mapping + process design
  • Systems setup + maintenance (Dubsado, ClickUp, Notion, HubSpot, GHL)
  • Website work (WordPress primary, Wix maintained)
  • Automations + triggers + pipelines
  • Funnel + lead magnet + opt-in flow design
  • AI implementation + agent setup
  • Launch project work
  • Reporting / dashboards
  • Functional copy (sales pages, sequences, lead magnets)

Out of scope (= referred to specialists)

  • Paid ads strategy + execution
  • Specialist copywriting (brand voice, sales page polish)
  • Graphic design from scratch (logos, branding)
  • Photography
  • Bookkeeping
  • Legal / contracts
  • Deep video production / editing

When something is bigger than a month

If a single piece of work needs more attention, we quote it separately as a Website in a Week, AI Build Sprint, or Systems project. The retainer is your ongoing capacity; big builds get their own scope.

Investment

Premium positioning. Premium fit.

Questions

Before you apply.

Why "apply" instead of just "book"?

Because capacity is capped. I take a small number of retainer clients at a time so priority response stays real. We have a free clarity call first to confirm fit on both sides.

What if my month runs over the 4 days of capacity?

We talk about it on the planning call. Options: defer some work to next month, or scope the overflow as a separate project quote on top of the retainer. No surprise overage charges - everything is agreed in advance.

Why is there a 3-month minimum?

Because we need time for momentum. Month 1 is onboarding + first month's work. Month 2 is when systems start to compound. Month 3 is when you really feel the benefit. After the minimum, we go month-to-month with 30 days' notice either way.

Do you take new retainer clients without a project first?

Sometimes. The cleanest path is to start with a project (Website in a Week, AI Build Sprint) so we know each other, then graduate into the retainer if it makes sense. But if you know what you need and it's a clear fit, we can go straight in.

Can I pause the retainer if I'm slammed?

Not pause - cancel with 30 days' notice and re-engage when you're ready. Paid capacity that goes unused isn't fair to either of us.

When you're ready

Stop being the bottleneck. Get an operations partner in your corner.
