Turn what makes you different into a steady flow of right‑fit work.
You already know how to do the work.
Middle Management steps in when you’re ready to:
Stop taking whatever lands in the inbox
Speak to the clients & projects you actually want
Build a simple outreach rhythm that feels aligned and doable, not spammy
Everything we do starts with a quick fit‑call, no pressure, let’s just talk and see if it makes sense.
We have developed 4 separate services that address the most impactful issues facing our clients.
If you want to see if this makes sense for you, let’s talk. It’s easy to connect for 15-20 minutes over the telephone and see.
If you’re doing good work, but the way you're showing up doesn’t quite match the work anymore, this is where we begin.
Before you redo your website or get a new logo.
Before you launch a new offer or increase prices.
Before you try to “scale.”
We get clear on:
What’s working (and what’s not)
What you & your brand are really communicating
Where your effort is being wasted
And what your next move should be
This isn’t just strategy. It’s alignment—between who you are, what you want, and how your business actually functions.
“This guy’s normal. This guy’s great.”
-Grant Petersen, Rivendell Bicycle Works
“We gained A LOT of confidence… we know for a fact that we're on the right track and what we're doing is going to be way more impactful than what we were doing.”
-kellen hazelip, naomi furniture
“The shift in mindset has me focused and concentrating my productivity on achieving my goals.”
PRACTICE ASSESSMENT + ROADMAP
When your practice starts to feel like a game of whack‑a‑mole, the Assessment gives you a calm, outside‑eyes view. We dig through your site, pricing, pipeline, and positioning, then map the gaps stopping you from landing the work you actually want. You’ll leave with a concise, prioritized plan: what to fix first, what to build next, and what busy‑work you can safely ignore. Most clients use the Roadmap as a 6‑month playbook, and tell us it pays for itself with the first better‑fit project they close.
Timeline: 2 weeks
Current‑state audit (site, services, outreach, pricing)
Ideal‑client & opportunity map
Priority roadmap: what to fix, what to build, what to ignore
Perfect when you’ve hit a ceiling and need clear next moves before investing further.
CLARITY TO CONVERSION
Great work stalls when people can’t quickly see themselves in it. In four-six focused weeks we sharpen your positioning, rewrite the key pages that close business, and give you a channel‑by‑channel voice guide. No more over‑explaining on discovery calls or hearing “I love it, but…” in your inbox. Think of it as installing a fast‑lane from first glance to Yes, let’s work together.
Timeline: 4-6 weeks
Core positioning statement & talking points
Voice / tone guide + page‑by‑page copy framework
Lightweight channel plan (site, email, 1 social/outreach path)
Launch checklist to roll it out
Ideal after the Assessment—or for studios that “get leads” but keep hearing “I’m still not totally sure what you do…”
OUTBOUND KIT
If leads aren’t walking through the door, you walk out and meet them—without turning into a spam bot. We help you build a tailored prospect list, write personal opening messages, set up a simple follow‑up rhythm and define a plan you can actually follow. You’ll know exactly who to contact each week and what to say, so outreach becomes a 15‑minute habit, not a month‑long dread. Expect your first qualified conversations before the sprint ends.
The simplest, non‑gross outreach system you’ll actually use
Timeline: 4 weeks
Audience filter & lead‑list template (built from your real data)
Personalized email/DM sequences + follow‑up cadence
Tracking dashboard (Google Sheets; no expensive CRM required)
First 10 leads set up & handed off
Pairs naturally with the Messaging Sprint when you want pipeline momentum now, not “someday.”
PRACTICE RESET
Sometimes you outgrow the patch‑and‑paint fixes. The Reset is a ground‑up rebuild that aligns everything; offers, pricing, messaging, and lead generation around where you want the practice to be in three years, not three months. We start with the Assessment, tighten your story, refine your services for profitability, install an outbound engine, and refresh your site or identity just enough to reflect the new direction. Clients come out with a business that finally feels as sharp on the outside as the work is on the inside.
Foundation + Messaging + Outbound, delivered as one cohesive engagement
Timeline: 8–10 weeks
Includes everything in 1 + 2 + 3, plus:
Offer / service restructure & light pricing guidance
Lead‑gen automations or content system (as fits your model)
Optional light site or identity refinement to match the new story
For established practices that know they’ve outgrown the old way and want a single, focused rebuild.

If that sounds like you, let’s talk.
