The Profit Engine for SaaS companies

I'll Find at Least $25,000 Hiding in Your Current Accounts and Put an AI Employee to Work Bringing It In... or Your Money Back

First I find exactly where the money is. Then I build AI employees that work 24/7 to bring it in. Live in about two weeks, from $2,500.

That's my AI front desk. It books you a time with me.

Your customers already chose you. Some renewals just need attention sooner.

Stalled onboarding. Failed charges. Unused seats. 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...

  • An onboarding checker who flags every stalled account.
  • A dunning rep who works every failed charge.
  • A win-back rep who calls customers who churned.

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 onboarding, renewals and billing, 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 customer success, billing and support, only where they help.
  • Access to the places your revenue shows up, like your billing system, CRM, product usage data, support tickets, customer contracts and financial records. Read-only where possible. A non-disclosure agreement keeps all of it confidential.
  • Nobody on your team has to build or maintain anything. Your engineers stay on the product.

What happens when I build the employee

Real companies. Real systems. Every number here is from a real client. Watch the job, not the industry... one system walking 37,000 students down their own learning path is the same kind of work as walking every new account through onboarding.

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're the founder or CEO, or you run customer success or finance and can get a yes on a project this size.
  • You have paying customers and recurring revenue, and your net revenue retention says your current accounts should be worth more.
  • Revenue slips through the gaps... accounts that stall in onboarding, cards that fail and stay failed, seats nobody uses until the renewal shrinks, customers who stop logging in and nobody notices.
  • Money gets left in the contract... usage over plan nobody bills, price breaks that never end, price increases that never reach the invoice.
  • Your dashboards flag the accounts at risk. Your team works the big ones, and the long tail gets an automated email at best.
  • You want it found and fixed in weeks, not added to next quarter's backlog.

It's not a fit if...

  • You're pre-revenue or still finding product-market fit. Come back when you have customers to keep.
  • You want another churn dashboard. You probably have one already. This is about acting on it.
  • You'd rather nobody looked at your billing and usage data. That's fair. This needs it.
  • Customers leave because the product doesn't do the job yet. No ASIE fixes that, and I'll tell you so.

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.

Where would $25,000 come from in a SaaS company?

From customers you already have. Failed charges nobody recovered. Accounts that stalled in onboarding and canceled before they ever used what they bought. Seats paid for and never used, until the renewal shrinks. Usage over plan nobody billed. Customers ready to upgrade that nobody asked. All of it shows up in your own billing and account records. We count it from there, line by line, and a saved account counts only for as long as your average customer really stays. You approve the total before anything is built.

Our billing system already retries failed cards, and we track health scores. Why would we need this?

Keep them. They catch the easy ones and tell you something's wrong. Then somebody still has to act on it, on every account, every day... the card that belonged to someone who left the company, the account that stalled right after signup, the renewal nobody touched. Most teams don't have the hours. That's the job an ASIE takes. And if your tools already catch a problem, it won't make your top 3, and I'll tell you.

Will an AI be talking to my customers?

Only where you want it to. Some ASIEs never talk to a customer at all... they watch every account, flag what's slipping and draft the note, and your team sends it. Where one does reach out, you decide which accounts it can reach and what it can say, you see the wording before it goes live, and it says it's an AI. You can start with it drafting while your people send, and adjust it anytime from your own admin screen.

Does this replace my customer success team?

No. It takes the work your team never gets to... the small accounts nobody ever calls, the failed charge that lands on a Saturday, the customer who stopped logging in last month. Your people keep the relationships. The ASIE works the accounts they never had time for.

Our customers trust us with their data, and our contracts say how we protect it. How do you handle that?

On your rules. We honor every data security requirement you work under, including what your customer contracts promise, and we build securely to meet them. Read-only access where possible, and a non-disclosure agreement before you share anything. An ASIE only touches the data its one job needs, and you decide what that is before it goes live. If your security team wants a review, we'll do it with them before anything is connected.

Every vendor is pitching us AI right now. Is this another AI pitch?

No. I start with your billing records and your account list. The diagnosis is my judgment, from 25 years of finding money companies missed, including software companies like Corel, Collectorz and Microsoft. AI is the tool that does the work once we know where the money is. If the best move is a pricing fix or a better renewal process, not AI, I'll tell you.

We're a software company. Why not build this ourselves?

You could. But every engineering hour you have goes to the product, and this never makes the sprint. The code isn't the hard part anyway. Knowing which gap is worth the most, and what to say to the customer who's about to leave, is. That's what your Roadmap and System Design are for. Then we build the ASIE. Apart from granting access, your engineers stay on the product.

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 an onboarding checker who flags every stalled account, or a dunning rep who works every failed charge.

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 how many gaps are costing you money. One clear gap, like failed charges, one ASIE. Two or more, like onboarding and renewals, the bigger options. More than three, or several products, 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 SaaS company could never hire.

Every job below goes after revenue you already earned, or should have... a failed charge, a stalled account, a customer ready to upgrade.

Each ASIE takes a single job and runs it start to finish on every account. Your team keeps the relationships.

Think of these as ideas. Some fit self-serve plans, some fit sales-led contracts, and your Roadmap picks which are worth real money in your own books.

The job nobody wants.

Failed charges, past-due invoices and endless follow-ups are the work nobody wants, so they wait until month end or never get done.

Operations

The money you already earned, leaking back out.

  • A dunning rep who keeps working every failed charge, so good customers aren't lost over an expired card
  • An invoice chaser who follows up on every past-due invoice, gets the missing PO number, and finds the new billing contact
  • A renewal notice tracker who gets every renewal reminder and price increase notice out on time, before the contract's window closes

Sales & Marketing

The money you never earned in the first place.

  • A win-back rep who reaches out to every customer who churned, learns why they left, and invites them back
  • A trial follow-up rep who writes to every expired trial and every demo that went quiet, while the interest is still warm
  • A security questionnaire writer who fills out every security questionnaire from your approved answers, so no deal or renewal stalls in review

The job you could never justify a salary for.

A churn analyst or a rep just for your smallest accounts would pay for itself, but you could never justify the headcount.

Operations

The money you already earned, leaking back out.

  • A churn analyst who digs into every cancellation and downgrade to find the reasons that keep coming back
  • A renewal planner who briefs your team on every renewal months ahead, with usage, tickets, terms and who signed last time
  • A pricing analyst who finds the customers on legacy plans and open-ended price breaks, and what current pricing would be worth

Sales & Marketing

The money you never earned in the first place.

  • A small-account rep who checks in with the small accounts nobody has time for, so they renew and grow
  • An account mapper who maps the other teams and offices inside every customer that could use your product too
  • A business review writer who builds every customer a business review from their own usage, so they see what they're getting

The job no human could ever do.

Nobody can watch every account, every login and every invoice at once, every day, and still act on what they see.

Operations

The money you already earned, leaking back out.

  • An onboarding checker who watches every new account's setup and logins, and flags every stalled account before it goes cold
  • A seat watcher who finds every paid seat sitting idle and nudges its user back in, months before renewal
  • A billing auditor who checks every invoice against its contract and actual usage, so every overage and expired price break gets caught

Sales & Marketing

The money you never earned in the first place.

  • An expansion spotter who spots every account outgrowing its plan and tells the account owner the same day
  • A champion tracker who catches every champion who changes jobs, so you protect the account and win their new company
  • A support ticket reader who reads every ticket and customer email, and flags the account that's unhappy or ready to buy more
