Your crews run tight. Your office doesn't.
Forty-five minutes on a call. The next morning, a short list of exactly what software to buy and in what order, so you're not writing bids at ten at night.
$900. Read the report. If you don't think it was worth it, tell me and I'll refund it. You don't have to justify it and I won't argue.
- $900 flat
- Report next morning
- Tokyo overnight
- No install
How it works
You book 45 minutes.
I ask questions about your week. What you dread. Where the work piles up. What you'd delete if you could. I don't pitch you anything on this call and I don't sell software.
I work that night.
I go find the tools. Everything I recommend is off the shelf. You sign up and use it. Nothing gets built, nothing gets installed, nothing gets custom.
The report is in your inbox the next morning.
Short. Each tool, what it costs, how long setup takes, what it gives you back. Plus a four-day plan so you know exactly where to start on Monday.
We spend 30 minutes going through it.
Then you decide whether it was worth $900.
I'm Alex Ngai. My parents are in Carlsbad. I grew up in New York and I've spent the last twenty years in Tokyo running businesses, most of it lately building AI tools for companies that knew they were behind and had no idea where to start.
The Tokyo part is why you get the report the next morning. We talk at four in the afternoon your time. I work while you sleep. It's in your inbox before your first crew rolls out.
I'm in San Diego a few times a year.
A few things this isn't
It isn't me installing anything.
Nobody touches your data, your books, or your phones. I hand you a list and you decide what to do with it.
It isn't a plan to replace your office manager.
Every recommendation gives her hours back. She should be on the call.
It isn't mostly AI, honestly.
A lot of what I'll find is software that's existed for years and nobody ever showed you. I'm not going to pad the report to make it sound more impressive than it is.
Who this is for
Landscape maintenance, design-build, or both. Roughly $1M to $5M. Somewhere between eight and forty people. You have someone in an office, even part time. You grew past what a whiteboard and a group text can hold and nobody has sat down and fixed it since.
Who it isn't for.
If you're a solo operator or running two trucks, $900 is real money and you probably don't have enough process to fix yet. Don't buy this. If you're over $10M, you've got an ops director who wants a vendor with a procurement process, and that isn't me.
What a report actually looks like
Say you run a $2M shop. Two things eat you. You're writing bids at ten at night because that's the only quiet hour you get, and everything the office needs to know lives in a group text nobody can search.
Here's the shape of what lands in your inbox.
Day one, five minutes. A tool that sorts your inbox so the twelve emails that matter aren't buried under the ninety that don't. Costs about what lunch costs.
Day two, twenty minutes. Something that turns your walk-through into a proposal you can send before you've pulled out of the driveway. This is the one that gets your nights back.
Day three. The group text. This one's bigger than the other two, which is why it's last, and I'll tell you straight whether it's worth touching this quarter or whether you sit on it until winter.
Two of those are cheap. One of them won't be, and I'll say which and tell you why I still think it's worth it.
The only actual AI in there is the part that writes the first draft of your follow-up, so you're editing instead of starting at a blank screen. The rest is software that already exists and nobody ever showed you.
That's a made-up example, not a real client. When I've got a real one I can show you, it goes here instead.
Free version
Not ready to spend $900 on a stranger in Tokyo? Fair.
Email me the one thing in your week that eats the most time. I'll tell you whether there's a tool for it. That one's free and there's no pitch on the back end.
FAQ
Do I need to know anything about AI?
No. That's the whole point. You tell me what your week looks like and I do the rest.
What if the tools cost a fortune?
I don't recommend anything that needs a demo, a sales rep, or an annual contract. If something's expensive I'll say so on the report and tell you why I still think it's worth it.
I've been burned by a software guy before.
Understood. Nothing here gets installed and nobody gets access to anything. It's a list on a piece of paper. The worst case is you read it and ask for your money back.
Do you do the implementation too?
Sometimes. Ask me on the review call. But don't buy the assessment expecting it. The report is built so you can do all of it yourself and most of it takes minutes.
What happens on the call?
I ask you questions for forty-five minutes and record it so I can go back through it. That's it. If you want your office manager on it, bring her.
