01 — HOW I START
One paid day, then week-one builds.
One working day to pressure-test the plan — applied toward the retainer if we move forward — then a working plan, and the first deliverable inside five business days.
I work with founders and operators who need someone senior enough to run ops, technical enough to build the tools, and fast enough to move this week — not next quarter.

Most consulting engagements spend the first six weeks getting started. Mine don't. Three specific differences from how agencies and most consultants run this kind of work.
01 — HOW I START
One working day to pressure-test the plan — applied toward the retainer if we move forward — then a working plan, and the first deliverable inside five business days.
02 — HOW I COMMUNICATE
Email, Slack, whatever channel your team uses. I'm in your workspace, not behind a layer of coordinators. Same-day response during the work week.
03 — HOW I DELIVER
You'll see real builds, real process, real results — not polished summaries of what I would do if you approved the next phase. Done beats described, every time.
I don't keep a case study library for the sake of it. Three recent engagements where the outcome is easy to describe and the numbers are honest. Each one was three to twelve weeks of focused work.
A 50-person reseller ran sales out of five private spreadsheets. In one week, I stood up a shared pipeline in Monday.com and wired the site straight into the CRM — reclaiming 25+ reporting hours a week and surfacing a single $80K+ client hiding across reps.
A first-time candidate for the Michigan State House had no brand, no site, and no signal. In four weeks, I ran voice and pillars, then built a 15+ page custom stack with volunteer, newsletter, and admin tools — plus a district-lookup that turned every visit into in-district voter data.
A regional telecom operator was losing tower crews to software-update waste — long updates, random failures, full restarts. I instrumented the work in Asana so waste became a number, then stacked fixes: parallel updates, early failure detection, and off-tower pre-staging.
A view of the impact across engagements, clients, and industries to date.
Without me
That's the typical agency engagement. Discovery, scoping, SOW revisions, kickoff — by the time something gets built, you could have already launched.
With me
I start in week one. If I can't give you something real to look at inside of five business days, I've over-scoped the work and we should talk about narrowing it.
Most consultants specialize into a narrow slice. That works if you have the budget to hire four of them. For most founders and operators I work with, the better answer is one senior consultant who can cover the full spread — and knows when to bring in a specialist versus just get it done.
Running the work that keeps you from running it. Weekly sprints, cross-team coordination, vendor management, the unglamorous stuff that makes everything else work.
Pipelines, outreach, CRM setup, positioning, reporting, and the operational spine behind all of it. The "how do we actually run this" conversations most founders put off for too long.
Internal tools, dashboards, billing systems, the scrappy v1 of a product feature, marketing sites that earn their keep. Usually the thing your team has on the backlog and won't get to for six months.
Press outreach, brand storytelling, PR positioning, and the message discipline that gets a growing company noticed for the right reasons. Media kits, launch campaigns, and spokesperson prep for when the camera actually turns on.
We needed someone who could move quickly and fill the gaps we were missing, and not need six weeks to get started. That's Corey. He isn't like the other consultants we've worked with. His methods are fast and effective.
A note from me
Most consultants spend more time making presentations about the work than doing the work itself. I cut the bloat and execute on day one.
— Corey
Short funnel. Same-day reply. A week from first message to real work. Here's exactly what happens when you send one.
01 — INTRO MESSAGE
Send a message through the contact form or email me directly. No budget questionnaires, no gatekeeper, no discovery deck you have to fill out first. You'll hear back from me the same business day.
02 — FIT CALL
We cover the situation, the first move, and what's in the way. If it's not a fit, I'll say so on the call — and refer you to someone who is. One conversation is usually enough to know.
03 — DISCOVERY DAY
A flat fee buys a full day of real work — a plan, an audit, or a working prototype, depending on what you need most. If we move forward on a retainer within 30 days, the cost applies toward it.
04 — RETAINER START
Weekly, monthly, or annual engagements. First deliverable lands inside five business days — real work in your workspace, not a six-week runway of discovery meetings.
Send me a message and tell me what you're dealing with. One conversation is usually enough to know if I'm the right fit — and if I'm not, I'll usually know someone who is.
