Your consultants and customers are already here. Some reorders are just waiting.

Stalled reorders. Declined autoships. Past-due invoices. I've been hired to consult with over 317 companies, from Sony Media to St. Jude. Every single one had unrealized profit, and needed three things to get it.

  1. Discovery to find the profit.
  2. A plan to go get it.
  3. The systems and manpower to get it done.

But most owners are too busy to pin down #1 and #2. So they bolt AI onto #3... and get mediocre results faster, for more money.

We find the profit, make the plan, then deploy ASIEs to get it done.

What's inside your Profit Engine

  • Your Profit Roadmap. We identify your top 3 unrealized profit opportunities, ranked by what each one is worth.
  • 80/20 System Design. A step-by-step plan to go get that money, built around how your company really runs.
  • ASIE Built and Deployed. We don't just consult. We deliver your AI system and all the training needed.

What's an ASIE?

Autonomous Super Intelligent Employee

An AI employee that does one job well, 24/7. Like...

  • A reorder rep who calls consultants who stopped ordering.
  • An autoship rep who calls about every declined order.
  • A starter guide who walks new consultants to a first order.

How it works

Your Profit Engine, up and running in about two weeks.

  1. Discovery.

    You, me and your key people walk through how the company really runs and dig into your real numbers.

  2. Deep 80/20 planning.

    We focus on reorders, autoship and field support, find high-leverage ways to capture your unrealized profit, and map it out in your Profit Roadmap.

  3. Build and launch.

    We build and deploy your first ASIE so you see results right away.

What I need from you

  • Between 30 minutes and 3 hours of your time in all. That's an interview, usually 30 to 45 minutes, and a walkthrough of your Roadmap when it's ready.
  • Short conversations with a few of your key people, like whoever runs field support or autoship, and a field leader or two. Only where they help.
  • Access to the business, like your back office reports, genealogy, autoship and decline reports, comp plan, policies and procedures, and the training your new consultants start with. Read-only where possible. A non-disclosure agreement keeps all of it confidential.
  • Nobody in your home office or your field has to build or maintain anything.

On a $2,500 Profit Engine, if we don't find at least $25,000, we refund your deposit and the Roadmap is yours.

Every dollar we count names the process it comes from and ties to a number from your own books. Nothing gets counted twice. You and I sign off on the total together.

What happens when I build the employee

Real companies, real systems, different industries. Every number here is from a real client. Look at the first one... one AI system mentoring 37,000 students, each on their own path. That's the same kind of job as walking every new consultant to a first customer order.

CopywriterMarketer

37,000 students

Mentored on their own custom learning paths by one AI system I built.

BrickROI

40 days

From zero to built, branded and selling.

"Another team burned six months and $57,500 of mine with nothing to show for it. Joshua had my whole platform built, branded, and selling in under 40 days. He doesn't just write code, he understood my business and built exactly what it needed."
Founder, BrickROI

AI Beauty Consulting

10 hours to 30 minutes

For every client assessment, with no drop in quality.

"Every client assessment ate more than ten hours, and I was the only one who could do them. Joshua built me an AI system that runs the whole thing in my own voice, and now it takes about thirty minutes with no drop in quality. He handed me back my business."
Susan Kuse, Founder, AI Beauty Consulting

TabulaWorks

1 system

Runs an entire company's daily operations.

"Joshua engineered the AI operating system that runs TabulaWorks. The daily operations and follow-up that used to eat our team's evenings are all carried by the system now. It runs without us, and it's why we can serve the clients we do. He understands the business as well as the engineering, which is almost impossible to find."
John Hare, Co-Founder, TabulaWorks

The work hasn't changed. I find the money.

What's new is that I can now build the employee that goes and gets it.

Is this a fit?

This is a fit if...

  • You founded or run the company, or you lead its field with real authority and your home office behind you.
  • You have consultants, distributors, brand partners or ambassadors, whatever you call them, and customers on autoship. And you know the file should be ordering more than it is.
  • Orders slip through the gaps... autoships that decline and never get fixed, new consultants who buy a starter kit and never get going, customers who drift when their consultant goes quiet, systems that don't talk.
  • You want it found and fixed in weeks, not studied for months.
  • You'd rather fix one gap well than hand your field another app.

It's not a fit if...

  • You're a consultant or field leader working on your own, without your home office. The file is your company's, so send them this page.
  • You'd rather nobody looked at the numbers. That's fair. This needs them.
  • You want AI for its own sake, not for profit.
  • You want AI that recruits with income claims, or pushes consultants to buy just to keep their rank. I won't build either.

Questions and answers

What exactly do I get?

Your Profit Roadmap, with your top 3 unrealized profit opportunities ranked by what each one is worth. An 80/20 System Design that fits your operations. And your ASIEs built and deployed, with all the training needed. One, two or three, depending on the option you pick.

Will it say anything I haven't approved?

No. You approve its scripts and rules before it goes live, and it stays inside your policies and procedures. It makes no claim about income or products beyond what you've approved. Anything off script goes to a real person on your team. And you can adjust it anytime from your own admin screen.

Can an AI call or text my consultants and customers?

Yes, if you want it to. You decide who it reaches, and whether by call, text or email, and you approve what it says before it goes live. It says up front that it's an AI assistant for your company. Anyone who says stop never hears from it again, and anyone who wants a person gets one. On a declined autoship, it sends a link to update the card in your own checkout. It never takes or stores a card number.

Our back office already sends decline emails, and our leaders follow up. Why add this?

Keep all of it. An email tells someone the card didn't go through. Your leaders reach the people they know, when they have time. The money is in the ones nobody gets to... the decline your retries didn't save, the customer whose consultant went inactive, the new consultant who bought a starter kit and never got going. The ASIE works every one, every day, and hands the warm ones back to your people. Nothing has to be migrated or replaced, and nothing touches your commission run.

What do you know about direct selling?

Your field knows your business better than I ever will. What I bring, from 25 years and over 317 companies, is direct response... getting people to order, and order again. Subscription publishers like Agora and Weiss Research live on renewals the way you live on autoship. Discovery is where you teach me how your field really works, from your comp plan to your starter kits. Then you see the dollars at your Roadmap readout, tied to numbers in your own books, before anything is built.

Will this go around my field? Who gets credit for the orders?

No. It works for your field, not around it. We don't touch your comp plan, and every order it brings back is credited the way your plan already says. Most of what it does is work your leaders wish they had time for... the customer whose card declined, the new consultant who went quiet. Your field leaders can be part of Discovery, and you see who it contacts, and in whose name, before anything goes live.

We've been pitched AI and field apps before. How is this different?

Most field apps ask your consultants to do something new, and getting them to use it is the hard part. This works the other way. The diagnosis is my judgment, from 25 years of finding money for companies like Corel and Microsoft, and it starts with your own numbers. Then the ASIE does the job itself, so nobody in your field has to adopt anything. If the best fix doesn't need AI, I'll tell you.

Will it make it harder for a customer to cancel their autoship?

No. Anyone who wants to cancel can, the way your policies already say, with no runaround and no pressure. If they're willing, it asks why, and passes what they said to their consultant. You approve those words before it goes live, like everything else.

What's an ASIE?

An Autonomous Super Intelligent Employee. It's an AI employee that does one job well, 24/7, alongside your team or on its own. Think of a reorder rep who calls consultants who stopped ordering, or an autoship rep who calls about every declined order.

How long does it take?

About two weeks for your Profit Engine to be up and running, with your Roadmap and your first ASIE. If something's bigger than two weeks allows, we trim the scope and keep the date.

How much of my time does it take?

For you, between 30 minutes and 3 hours in all. That's an interview, usually 30 to 45 minutes, and a walkthrough of your Roadmap when it's ready. For your team, short conversations, only where they help. Nobody has to build or maintain anything.

What if you don't find anything?

Then you get your money back. You approve the 10x at your Roadmap readout, before anything is built. If we can't show at least 10x your fee, we refund your deposit and the Roadmap is yours.

How do you count the 10x?

Every dollar we count names the process it comes from and ties to a number from your own books. Nothing gets counted twice. Recurring revenue counts only for as long as your average customer really stays. If they stay three months, a saved subscription counts as three months. If they stay twelve, it counts as twelve. If a fix should keep customers longer, I count that only when your own data can prove it. You see every line, and you and I sign off on the total together.

What does hosting cost?

About $100 to $500 a month in total, not per ASIE, starting after delivery. Simpler builds cost less, complex ones a little more. That keeps your ASIEs running.

Where does my data go?

Read-only access where possible. We sign a non-disclosure agreement, so everything you share stays confidential. Your data stays yours, and nothing is shared or mixed with anyone else's. I keep none of it unless your hosting needs it or we agree to it. If we stop working together, you get all of it back, and I verify every copy is deleted.

How many ASIEs do I need?

Start with where the money slips away. Stalled reorders, declined autoships and new consultants who never get going are three different jobs, so that's one ASIE each. One clear job, one ASIE. Two or more, the bigger options. More than three, or several countries and languages, we'll scope it with you on a call. Not sure? Call my AI front desk or talk it through with Joshua AI, and we'll size it together.

What happens after?

That's up to you. Some owners run with the Roadmap themselves. If you want more ASIEs built, your fee carries forward. Start within 60 days of your Roadmap and every dollar you paid counts toward them. Either way, your ASIEs come with your own admin screen, so you can adjust them as you go and upload new files to keep training them.

Why only 10?

Because I keep it small so each one gets my full attention before December 31.

The employees your home office could never hire.

Every job below goes after money your company already earned, or should have. And all of them work with your field, not around it.

Each ASIE takes a single job, like working declined autoships or welcoming new customers, and runs it start to finish, every day.

Think of these as ideas. Your Roadmap picks the ones worth real money in your books, and nothing goes live until you approve it.

The job nobody wants.

Declined autoships, chargebacks and the inactive list are the work nobody wants, so they wait until after month end, when it's too late.

Operations

The money you already earned, leaking back out.

  • An autoship rep who works every declined autoship, with a link to update the card in your own checkout
  • A chargeback specialist who answers every chargeback before the deadline, with the order, autoship terms and tracking attached
  • An address fixer who reaches out to every customer whose box came back, fixes the address and ships it again

Sales & Marketing

The money you never earned in the first place.

  • A reorder rep who checks in with every consultant who stopped ordering, finds out why, and tells their sponsor
  • An exit interviewer who asks every customer who cancels autoship why, and tells their consultant what they said
  • An inquiry chaser who gets every website inquiry to a consultant under your rules, and makes sure someone answers

The job you could never justify a salary for.

A retention analyst or a welcome rep would pay for itself, but your home office runs lean, so you could never justify the salary.

Operations

The money you already earned, leaking back out.

  • A retention analyst who knows which products and starter kits keep customers on autoship and consultants selling
  • A promotions analyst who checks what every promotion and monthly special really earned, once commissions, shipping and returns come out
  • A demand planner who forecasts every product from autoship and launch history, so nothing sells out or expires on the shelf

Sales & Marketing

The money you never earned in the first place.

  • A customer keeper who reaches every customer whose consultant went inactive, and reconnects them the way your policies say
  • A welcome rep who greets every new autoship customer, for their consultant, and answers questions before the next box ships
  • A bilingual rep who supports every consultant and customer in Spanish, or whatever language they're most at home in

The job no human could ever do.

Nobody can watch every order, every post, every cart and every new consultant, all day and all night.

Operations

The money you already earned, leaking back out.

  • A claims watcher who reads every consultant's public posts for income and product claims, and flags them for your compliance team
  • A returns watcher who reads every return for the pattern, from a bad batch to inventory loading
  • A fee auditor who checks every card processing charge and shipping bill against your contracts, not a sample

Sales & Marketing

The money you never earned in the first place.

  • A starter guide who walks every new consultant, at their own pace, to a first customer order, alongside their sponsor
  • A refill rep who knows when every customer is about to run out, and points them back to their consultant
  • A cart chaser who follows up on every cart a shopper leaves on any consultant's website, for that consultant
