Engagement tiers · Outcomes, not hours

Engagement structure, priced to outcomes.

Every engagement starts with the problem and prices against what solving it is worth. Starter packages for owner-operators who need real infrastructure. Advisory tiers for established operators who need an embedded partner. One-off calls for the question that just needs an honest hour.

01 · Pricing philosophy

Every engagement has a number that makes sense against what the business gets back.

Clear objective. Defined structure. A fee tied to outcome — not a stopwatch.

↘ Outcome-first

Problem framed, then priced

We start with what's broken and what solving it is worth. The number follows.

↘ Operator, not advisor

Built at this level

Guidance comes from someone who's actually run the systems — not just consulted on them.

↘ Honest scope

Everything in writing

Page counts, product counts, monthlies, timelines. If it's beyond scope, it gets re-quoted.

Some engagements may require bringing in licensed specialists — legal, tax, compliance, or trade-specific. When that's the case, those costs are quoted separately and disclosed before we proceed.

02 · Disciplines

Four disciplines. Every engagement pulls from at least one.

01

Operations & Efficiency

Operational inefficiency is the most expensive problem in most businesses — and the hardest to see from inside it. We've fixed it across supply chain, CPG, hemp/botanical, and distribution.

Supply chain restructuring, vendor renegotiation, procurement systems, process design, cost reduction, and fulfillment architecture — built from real operator experience managing $100M+ in valued goods since 2014 across warehousing, retail distribution, chemicals, ingredients, botanicals, consumer packaged goods, transportation and logistics.

  • Supply chain optimization
  • Cost reduction
  • Process redesign
  • Vendor & logistics structuring
02

Revenue & Sales Systems

Revenue problems are usually process problems. Inconsistent sales come from inconsistent systems. We build the infrastructure that drives repeatable, measurable revenue.

Documented sales processes, outbound infrastructure, account growth strategy, and pricing structures built to capture earned margin — drawn from Sandler-trained sales experience across two roles: managing 250+ accounts and leads at any given time in one, and hitting $30K–$75K/week sales targets on retail routes in the other — route optimization, retail-space negotiation, per-location inventory. Compounding operator experience behind $15M+ in sales revenue since 2020.

  • Sales process architecture
  • Outbound systems
  • Account growth strategy
  • Pricing & margin optimization
03

Business Infrastructure

Growth without infrastructure creates chaos. Most businesses hit a ceiling not because of market demand — but because the operating system can’t support the growth.

CRM configuration, KPI frameworks, org structure design, compensation alignment, and automation — built so the business has operational visibility and the team knows what they’re accountable for at every stage of growth.

  • CRM & workflow systems
  • KPI frameworks
  • Org structure design
  • Automation
04

AI & Automation

We start by mapping the business — its processes, workflows, and the day-to-day roles of the people inside it. Then we bridge the gap between human work and AI automation — putting it where it actually compounds.

Workflow automation, AI tool integration, and custom builds tailored to each business — no two engagements look the same. Every operator has their own goals, their own constraints, and their own idea of what’s worth automating. We design to that.

  • Process automation
  • AI tool integration
  • Custom workflow builds
  • Data & reporting automation
03 · Process

From first conversation to measurable outcome.

  1. 01

    Discovery Conversation

    Direct conversation about what's happening in your business. No intake forms. No proposals before we understand the problem. If we're the right fit, we'll know by the end of the call.

    We ask about your margins, your ops, your team, and where the business is losing money it doesn't know it's losing.

  2. 02

    Operational Assessment

    We go deeper. Numbers, processes, team, systems. We identify the specific constraints limiting profit and growth — and we tell you exactly what we found.

    Reviewing your P&L line by line, mapping your supply chain and vendor structure, sitting with your team, stress-testing the processes that move money through your business.

  3. 03

    Solution Design

    A plan built on what we actually found — not a template engagement. You know exactly what we're doing, how long it takes, and what the outcome should look like before we start.

    We write the scope ourselves — specific deliverables, timeline, who owns what, and how we measure success. If something in your business makes the plan impractical, we say so before we take a dollar.

  4. 04

    Hands-On Execution

    We implement. We're in the business with you — working through the changes, training the team, building the systems. This is where most consultants stop. We don't.

    That could mean restructuring a vendor contract, rebuilding a fulfillment process, configuring a CRM, or running a cost reduction initiative from the inside.

04 · Starter packages · Execution-first

Real deliverables — not just advice.

Built for small businesses and early-stage operators who need the infrastructure to look, run, and close like a real operation. Starter clients naturally graduate into ongoing advisory relationships.

Engagement minimums · Retainer tiers require a 3-month minimum to ensure the relationship has time to compound — guidance, access, and network introductions only deliver value across a runway. Standalone consulting projects are scoped at $5,000 minimum; Starter packages are fixed-scope and priced as listed.

Network introductions · Some introductions and referrals made through the Honistee network — not all — carry a commission paid to Honistee, depending on what the introduced party provides to your business. We make the introduction because it serves the engagement; the commission never decides who we put in front of you.
