I’m Eric — a developer here in South Bend. We spend 45 minutes on the phone about how your week actually goes. No pitch, no jargon. A few days later you get a plain-English report: what’s quietly eating your time, what fixes it, and what it costs. If I can’t find you five hours a week, you don’t pay.

Most owners can't name what's costing them — they just feel it. Here's what it usually looks like from the inside.
This isn't a sales call with a slide deck. It's a diagnosis — the recommendation comes after, in writing, not during.
Walk me through yesterday. What do you dread? What would you delete if you had a magic wand? I'm listening for the repetitive, the manual, and the stuff you've just gotten used to putting up with.
I go back through the call, find the real time-sinks, and match each one to a tool or a small build. Everything gets sanity-checked against a business your size — no $2,000-a-month enterprise software for a four-person shop.
A short, plain-English write-up: what's costing you time, what fixes it, what it runs, and a four-day quick-start. Then we decide together whether you run with it yourself or have me build it.
You could hand this to anyone in your business and they'd get it. That's the whole point.
In audits like this, most owners get back around seven hours a week for roughly $60 a month in tools — before anything custom gets built.
“Every new job, someone retypes the same customer info into three places — the schedule, the invoice, and the supplier order. Nobody had ever added it up.”
→ One connected intake form, built once. ~6 hrs/week back. No new monthly subscription.
Most people stop at the report and run with it themselves. If you'd rather I build the fix, here's roughly what that runs.
I’m Eric — a full-stack developer based in South Bend, working across Michiana. Most of what turns up on an audit call isn’t really a software problem — it’s a small build problem. And I’d rather just build it than hand you a list of apps to go wrestle with yourself.
This isn’t theory. I build these exact kinds of tools — scheduling, customer lookups, intake forms, the boring plumbing that eats a week — for client work all the time. The audit is just me pointing that at your business first.
No. The 45 minutes is just questions — nothing gets pitched on the call. The recommendation comes afterward, in writing, and you see it before you decide anything.
Then you get the $999 back. The guarantee is five hours a week found — if the diagnosis comes up short, it's a full refund, no argument.
No. Most reports include options you can hand to anyone — your own team, another freelancer, the nephew who's good with computers. The report is yours either way.
Anywhere with 2–30 people and enough manual process that nobody's had time to fix it — trades, HVAC, home services, small manufacturers, professional services. Not sure? The 45-minute call makes it obvious either way.
South Bend, in person or by phone, and the wider Michiana region — Mishawaka, Elkhart, Niles, St. Joseph, Benton Harbor. Fully remote is fine too.
Book a time, tell me about your week, and get back a plan you can actually act on — whether or not you ever hire me again.
