Cole SlayAccepting New Clients

I find what's slowing your business down, then I fix it.

Missed calls, a website that brings in no work, hours lost to manual admin. I'm Cole Slay, and I build the fix for law firms, salons, contractors, and local service businesses, with 9 years in project management behind it and one person accountable from first call to launch.

Websites from $500, live in 72 hours. All prices posted below.

This is for owner-run service businesses that already have customers and are losing some to slow follow-up; if you're pre-revenue, start with my free newsletter instead.

The System

How It Works

You don't have 20 hours a week to research tools. I've condensed 6+ years of automation experience into a frictionless 5-step process.

1

Discovery & Scoping

A 30-minute discovery call to assess your current operations and determine if we are a fit.

2

Data Intake & Internal Audit

A targeted intake form collects your tech stack and team structure so our deep-dive is spent on strategy, not data gathering.

3

The Operational Deep-Dive

A 60-minute diagnostic session mapping your workflows to identify where manual middleware is bleeding your time and revenue.

4

Strategic Roadmap Development

I spend 48 hours building your custom AI Opportunities Report — a project-managed blueprint, not a list of cool tools.

5

Delivery & Execution Plan

A final 30-minute presentation covering ROI, implementation timeline, and change management steps for seamless adoption.

That's the full audit path. Websites and missed-call follow-up go straight from the first call to the build.

About

Built in the Field,
Not the Classroom.

Cole Slay

Most "AI Experts" started last week. I've spent 6+ years as an automation systems architect and AI consultant, plus 9 years in project management helping small businesses integrate new technology safely.

I've built 100+ automated workflows and conducted deep-dive audits that have reclaimed 10,000+ hours for business owners drowning in manual processes.

You're not hiring a hobbyist. You're hiring a battle-tested professional who bypasses the "$50k Custom Build Trap" by leveraging off-the-shelf AI tools that deliver immediate results at a fraction of the cost.

Before You Book

Fair questions.

Why not hire an agency?

With an agency, the person who sells you is rarely the person who builds for you. With me, they're the same person, so nothing gets lost in a handoff and you always know who to call. If your project truly needs a larger team, I'll tell you on the first call.

What if I already have a website?

Then I'll tell you whether it's worth keeping. If it's doing its job, leave it alone and start with missed-call follow-up or an audit. If it isn't bringing in work, I'll rebuild it at the same posted prices.

What happens after launch?

What I built keeps running for you. If you want someone keeping it current, Strategic Advisory covers monthly reviews, a priority build queue, and tech-stack pruning for $500 a month. It's optional.

Do I own it?

Your domain and your data belong to you, whether or not we keep working together.

Tell me where it's stuck.

Thirty minutes with me. You'll leave knowing which bottleneck to fix first, even if you don't hire me to fix it.
