How It Works

Go Through Snag My Smarts

This is our strategic roadmap and planning deep dive session (including the onboarding questionnaire). Without this, we won’t know what needs our immediate attention and what can be put on the back burner for a second!

Get my Recommendations

Based on the most pressing issues, you'll receive an hourly estimate. This estimate will include all the “doing,” as well as full documentation, so you’ll know what I did and how I did it!

Book Your Hours

Choose the hourly package that suits your needs (and wallet) and pay through Stripe. You’ll get a confirmation invoice from Stripe when your payment clears (this could take up to 14 days, depending on your payment method). (There isn’t a contract for hourly work, so don’t look for one!)

Watch Your Inbox

Look out for my email inviting you to Slack through Slack Connect DMs. From here on out, we're Slack BFFs.
My notifications are on Mon-Thu, 0800-1600 PST.

Share Your Logins

If I’m going to be taking action in accounts for you, guess what - I need access! Share everything ahead of time through LastPass, BitWarden, 1Password, or Proton Pass. If you'd rather not share your actual password, make sure you've hidden it in your app before sharing the login.

Schedule Time

We’ll get our calendars together (inside Slack DMs) and make sure that we’re aligned on when I’ll be working your hours. You’ll need to be available on Slack if I have any questions during this time!

Strategic Action

I’ll work efficiently to tackle your priorities during our scheduled time, leaving you with clear documentation and next steps.

Follow-Up Support

Enjoy peace of mind knowing you can reach out for clarifications or additional hours as needed.

Elevate Your Business with Me
As Your Fractional OBM

To truly dive into the heart of your business and provide the tailored support you deserve, the Fractional OBM service is exclusively for those who’ve completed at least one “Snag My Smarts” session.

This initial 90-minute deep dive is where I get all up in your business, uncovering the intricacies and nuances that make (you and) your business tick.

It’s only after this collaborative exploration that we can forge ahead effectively, using our newfound insights to supercharge your processes, systems, and projects.

By starting with “Snag My Smarts,” we build a partnership rooted in understanding and strategy, setting the stage for operational success like never before.

FAQ

ask me
anything

Anything you’d offload to a regular OBM can fit into these sessions. Think project management, setting up a new nurture sequence in (Convert)Kit, creating a workflow in Notion, fine-tuning Zapier automations, whipping up SOPs that actually work, building out a client workflow using multiple platforms and automations, or tackling a pesky process that’s just not doing what it should!

In case you’re wondering, here’s my love list (in no particular order):

  • Task and Project Management: Notion, ClickUp, Asana, Airtable, Trello, Todo​​ist
  • Automation: Zapier, Make, Pipedream
  • Email Marketing: (Convert)Kit, MailerLite
  • Docs and SOPs: Notion, ClickUp, Google Docs, Slab
  • Sheets and Forms: Google Sheets, Notion, ClickUp, Tally, Fillout (don’t ask me for my thoughts on Google Forms; we don’t have time for that!)
  • Notable Mentions: Wavebox, Zoom, Canva, Metricool, Elementor Pro

You can pick from 5-20 hours, based on your “to-do” list. This will depend on the complexity of the “thing/s” you want support with, as well as how many tasks there are. If you have a long list, you might want to book 20 hours, if you only have one or two smaller projects, then 5 hours might be best.

Working on something mission-critical? Let me know your deadline and we’ll make it work! Just bear in mind that if you have a hefty project and buy 20 hours, we’ll need to make sure these hours are spread over a couple of days. 20 hours in a day or two probably won’t work – for either of us!

Want my magic touch on something else? Grab another pack!

Book your hours, and boom, you’re in my Slack workspace via Slack Connect. No more messy email chains—let’s keep comms snappy, with DMs, links, docs, and, of course, giphy all in one spot. Slack is easy, fast, and you likely already have it. If it ain’t broke – don’t fix it.

When our gig wraps up, you’re still in Slack for any questions—because who enjoys switching from Slack to email anyway? Let’s keep everything together, eh? Need more help down the line? Let’s chat about snagging additional hours. 

This is not an upsell, and this is the only time I’ll mention this: you can hire me as a contract OBM on retainer, with rates starting from $1,280 a month for 32 hours, with a minimum 3-month commitment. Know that this is an item on my service menu, order whenever you like!

We’ll tackle what bothers you most, from quick wins to big projects, in your preferred order. (Think: tasks, projects, automations, systems, processes, or workflows). Your preferred order could be based on your highest ROI or your biggest headaches!

If we’re working on a single project, it might make sense for both of us to have specific hours on specific days available to maximize effectiveness, e.g., on Wednesday, we might book 2.5 hours and the same on Thursday. This makes sure we both know the dedicated time, and it gives me the space to get stuck in.

Hourly packages can be purchased for 5, 10, 15, or 20 hours, via Stripe. Dates and times for dedicated working time will be discussed on Slack. 

To be clear, you’re not expected to be at your desk while I’m at mine; just stay reachable on Slack, and if changes are needed, give me a 24-hour heads-up. I’ll do my best to make new arrangements work smoothly.
