Operations help for small businesses

Two ways to start fixing what’s slowing you down.

The right starting point depends on how you want to work: doing it yourself with guidance, or having me dig in first.

Owner Tactics

$900 CAD

For the owner who can act on this themselves but does not want to guess. You have some know-how in-house; what is missing is an objective view of the whole picture.

Eight weeks with someone who knows the operations and the technology, so you skip the learning curve and go straight to what fits.

  • Weekly sessions that keep it moving instead of stalling out.
  • An objective read on what is genuinely low-hanging fruit, and what is not.
  • A clear call on what to handle in-house, and who on your team should do it.

Fixed price, agreed scope, a clear ending, so finding out what to fix does not become open-ended hours.

  • A full picture of where your time and money are going.
  • A prioritized roadmap you can act on immediately.
  • Money back if we are not both excited to work together after the alignment call.

Fair questions

Before you book.

How do I know which service is right for me?

Owner Tactics: you and your team can make the changes, but you do not want to spend months working out what to use. I hand you tools that fit, ready to use, and keep it pointed at the right things.

Discovery: you have problems worth fixing and no clear read on the cause. Discovery buys that read, and a defined way to start.

What industries do you work with?

Trades, manufacturing, e-commerce, and product-based businesses.

If your business builds, makes, or delivers something, and the operations behind it feel harder than they should, we are likely a good fit.

Is this remote or in person?

Both. Pragmatic Tactics is based in Revelstoke, BC. Remote work is available across Canada. In-person work is available in Revelstoke and the surrounding area whenever possible.

Is tax added?

No. The price shown is what you pay. Travel outside Revelstoke for on-site Discovery work is at cost, agreed before work begins.

What happens after the engagement ends?

You will have a clear roadmap you can execute on your own. More work happens only if we both decide there is a defined next project worth doing.

Built for real businesses

For businesses that build, make, and deliver.

Most small-business advisors focus on strategy. I focus on execution: the systems, tools, and workflows the business runs on every day. The things that determine whether your team can operate without you hovering over every decision.

If you spend more time managing chaos than growing the business, that is an operations problem, not a strategy problem. Fixing it starts with what happens on the ground: where time gets wasted, information gets lost, and good people are stuck doing work that should be simplified or automated.

This is workflow improvement in practice. Not a slide deck about “digital transformation,” but concrete changes to how orders move, jobs get scheduled, and information reaches your team and customers.

Whether you need an engagement to rebuild how things work or an assessment to find the right starting point, these services are designed around how real businesses operate. No frameworks. No jargon. Clear recommendations and real changes.

Tell me what is taking up too much of your week.

We’ll take 25 minutes. You’ll leave with an honest answer on whether I can help, and a practical first step either way.
