I help small clinics stop losing patients between the first call and the first visit. Most clinics I meet book fewer than half of the people who call them. Not because the care is bad. Because the phone rings while the front desk is busy, and nobody calls back. So I started Fernhill Health. We answer every missed call with a text in under a minute, then book the visit for you. Last year a two doctor clinic in Ohio went from 41 new patients a month to 63 without spending more on ads. How I work: I spend my first week at a new clinic sitting at the front desk. I listen before I build anything. Most fixes are small and boring, and that is fine. People come to me for: Missed call follow up Booking flows that patients finish Front desk scripts that sound human Honest advice on what not to buy If you run a clinic and your phone feels like a leak, message me. I will tell you in one call if we can help, and if we can't, who can.

Your finance team should not spend the first week of every month chasing receipts. I'm the cofounder of Quarry, a tool that matches card spend to receipts on its own. I built it after five years as a controller, closing the books at night while my kids slept. Here is what that looks like in practice. Northwind Labs had 3 people spending 4 days each month on expense matching. After two months on Quarry, one person does it in a morning. What I believe: Finance teams are not slow. They are buried in work a machine should do. Good software should be boring to use. If a feature needs a training video, we built it wrong. Founders and finance leads usually reach out about: Month end close taking too long Expense policies nobody follows Picking tools before the next funding round What a lean finance stack looks like at 20, 50 and 200 people I answer every message myself. If month end hurts, send me a note, or email me at dana@example.com.

I fix the messy middle of growing companies: the handoffs, the spreadsheets, and the meetings that exist only because nobody trusts the data. For 12 years I ran operations inside logistics and software teams. Now I work with founders who have grown past 30 people and feel things slipping. A recent example: Brightline, a 45 person services firm, was missing one in five client deadlines. We mapped every handoff on one wall, cut 9 steps, and moved status updates out of email. Three months later they missed two deadlines all quarter. How I work: Short projects, usually six to ten weeks. I write things down so your team can run them after I leave. I would rather fix one process well than start ten. People bring me in for: Client delivery that keeps slipping Onboarding new hires faster Choosing and setting up internal tools Weekly metrics a founder can read in five minutes If your company feels louder than it should, message me. A first call is 30 minutes and free.

I coach new VPs through their first 12 months, when the job changes faster than anyone warns you. You got promoted because you were great at the work. Now the work is people, budgets and a board deck. Most of my clients feel like they are faking it for the first six months. That feeling is normal, and it passes faster with help. Before coaching, I led product teams for 14 years and managed managers at two growing companies. I made most of the mistakes my clients worry about. One client, a new VP of engineering, came to me with a team of 40 and a calendar full of fires. We worked on three things: what to stop doing, how to run a staff meeting, and how to say no to her CEO. By month four she had her Fridays back. What we work on together: Your first 90 days in a bigger role Delegating without losing quality Hard conversations Managing up I take on 8 clients at a time. If you are stepping into a bigger role, message me and we can see if it's a fit.

I write website copy for software companies whose product is better than their homepage. Here is how that usually shows up. Your sales calls go well. Your demos convert. But your site says things like "all in one platform for modern teams," and visitors leave without knowing what you do. I fix that. I interview your customers first, then write the page in their words. Last spring I rewrote the homepage for Tidewater, a scheduling tool. Demo requests went from 18 a month to 31 in the eight weeks after launch. How I work: I talk to 5 customers before I write a word. You get one clear draft, not three vague options. Every claim on the page has proof next to it. Clients hire me for: Homepages and product pages Pricing pages Onboarding emails Case studies that read like stories I book two projects a month. Email me at sam@example.com with your site and what feels off, and I will reply with three quick notes, free.

I run a 12 person design studio that builds brands for food and drink companies. Most of our clients come to us with a great product and a label that looks like everyone else on the shelf. Our job is to make you the one a shopper picks up. We are Saltmarsh Studio. In the past two years we've worked with 30 small brands, from a hot sauce made in a garage to a cold brew now sold in 400 stores. When Harbor Coffee redesigned with us, their first grocery buyer said yes on the first meeting after three years of no. How we work: We visit the store shelf before we open a design file. Small team, senior people on every project. We tell you when a redesign is not what you need. Brands come to us for: Packaging and labels Naming Brand systems that work on a tiny budget Trade show and retail displays If you have a product people love and a label that doesn't match, message me. I read every note.

I help B2B teams get more pipeline from the content they already have. Most marketing teams I meet are not short on content. They have webinars, guides and blog posts. What they lack is a plan to get that work in front of buyers more than once. I'm the head of marketing at Kestrel, a payroll tool for small firms. When I joined, we had 200 blog posts and almost no leads from them. We picked our 10 best, turned each into emails, short posts and a sales one pager, and cut new writing in half. Inbound demos doubled over the next two quarters. What I believe: One great piece used ten times beats ten pieces used once. Sales should be the first reader of anything marketing writes. Plain words sell better than clever ones. People ask me about: Content plans for small teams Working with sales without the blame game Measuring content without fake numbers Hiring your first marketer I share what works and what flops here each week. Follow along, or message me if you want to swap notes.

I help mid size manufacturers buy software without the usual regret. I'm an account executive at Ironleaf, where we sell inventory planning tools. Most of my buyers have been burned before by a tool that looked great in the demo and sat unused a year later. So I sell the way I would want to be sold to. That means I ask a lot of questions first. Last year a plant manager told me in our second call that his team would never use a new screen. So we set up Ironleaf to send reports to the email they already read. They renewed for three years. How I work: I will tell you if we are not the right fit. You get a written plan before you sign anything. I stay on your account after the deal closes. Buyers talk to me about: Stock that runs out while the warehouse is full Planning with spreadsheets that break What a real rollout takes, week by week If inventory keeps you up at night, message me. No slide deck on the first call, just questions.

I build backend systems that stay fast when traffic spikes, and I like making slow things quick. I'm a senior engineer at Larchmont, where I work on the payments team. Most of my days are spent on the parts of the product nobody sees until they break: queues, databases and the code that moves money. Last year our checkout slowed down every Friday night. I traced it to one database query that ran 300 times per order. After a rewrite and a small cache, checkout went from 4 seconds to under 1, and the Friday pages stopped. How I work: I write the design doc before the code. I leave code easier to read than I found it. I like pairing with newer engineers, and I learn from them too. Things I know well: Go and Python Postgres and query tuning Message queues On call that does not burn people out I'm happy where I am, but I love talking shop. If you're working on a hard performance problem, message me.

I design software for people who use it 8 hours a day, so every extra click matters. For the past 7 years I've worked on tools for support agents, nurses and warehouse teams. These are people who don't choose their software. They just have to live in it. I think they deserve design as good as any consumer app. At Beacon, I redesigned the ticket screen our support customers used all day. I spent two weeks sitting next to agents before sketching. The new screen cut the average time to answer a ticket by 40 seconds, which added up to hours per agent each week. How I work: Watch people work before drawing anything. Test with rough sketches early, not polished screens late. Write down why each choice was made. I can help with: Complex tools and dashboards Design systems for small teams User research on a tight budget Turning feedback into a clear roadmap If you are building software people use all day, message me. I'd love to hear what you are working on.

I help early stage startups make their first 10 engineering hires, the ones that shape everything after. Your first engineers set the tone for how code gets written, how people give feedback and who wants to join next. A bad early hire can cost a year. I've seen it happen, and I want to help you avoid it. I spent 6 years recruiting at growing software companies before going out on my own. Last year I helped Pinecrest, a 4 person team, hire 6 engineers in 5 months. All 6 are still there. How I work: I meet every candidate on video before you do. I tell candidates the hard parts of the job up front. I charge a flat fee, not a percent of salary. Founders call me for: First engineering hires Writing a job post people finish reading Interview loops that don't take a month Closing a candidate who has other offers Engineers, I'm glad to talk even if you're not looking. Founders, email me at jo@example.com.

I'm a product manager who cares less about shipping features and more about whether customers use them. I work at Stonebridge, where I lead a team building tools for property managers. Before product, I spent 4 years in customer support. That job taught me that the loudest request is not always the most important one. Last year our team was asked to build 12 new features. I talked to 25 customers first and found that most of the requests came from one confusing screen. We fixed that screen instead. Support tickets about it dropped by more than half, and we used the saved time for work that mattered. How I work: Talk to customers every week, not once a quarter. Say no often, and explain why. Share the roadmap early so nobody is surprised. People reach out to me about: Moving from support or sales into product Running customer interviews Writing specs engineers want to read Saying no without making enemies If any of that sounds useful, message me. I try to help one career switcher each month.

I'm a third year computer science student who likes turning messy data into tools people use. I study at a state university and work part time in the campus library. This year I built a small app that shows which study rooms are free, using the library's booking data. About 900 students used it in the first month, and the library asked me to keep it running. I learn best by building. So far I have: Built 4 small web apps with Python and JavaScript Tutored first year students in intro programming Led a team of 3 in a weekend hackathon, where we placed second What I'm looking for: A summer internship in software or data, starting June. I'm most excited by teams that build tools for schools, health or local government. What people say I'm good at: Asking questions early Writing clear notes for the next person Staying calm when the demo breaks If you're hiring interns, or if you have 15 minutes to tell me about your work, message me. I'm always glad to learn.

I taught 7th grade science for 8 years. Now I design software, and the two jobs are more alike than you think. Teaching is user research every single day. You watch 30 people try to understand something new, you notice where they get stuck, and you change the lesson by third period. That is what I do in UX now. I finished a UX course last year and have since worked on 3 projects. The one I'm proudest of: I redesigned the sign up flow for a local tutoring nonprofit. Parents used to drop off halfway. After we cut the form from 14 fields to 6 and tested it with 8 parents, sign ups doubled that fall. What I bring: Years of explaining hard things simply Comfort in front of any room Patience with confused users, because I've been one What I'm looking for: A junior UX or research role, ideally in education or health. If you've made a career change too, or you're hiring, message me. I'd love to talk.

I'm a part time CFO for founders who have outgrown their bookkeeper but aren't ready for a full time finance hire. Most of my clients are between 1 and 10 million in yearly revenue. They know their numbers roughly. They don't know if they can afford the next hire, or how long their cash will last if sales dip. I fix that with a simple model and a monthly meeting. For Redwing Outdoor, a 22 person gear brand, we found that one product line was losing money on every sale after shipping costs. They raised the price, kept most of the buyers and added three months of runway. How I work: One page of numbers you can read in 5 minutes. A monthly call where we decide, not just review. I work with your bookkeeper, not around them. Founders call me for: Cash forecasts Pricing decisions Getting ready to raise money Board and investor updates I work with 6 companies at a time. If you want to know your numbers before your investors ask, email me at lee@example.com.

I turn questions like "why did sales drop?" into answers a team can act on by Friday. I'm a data analyst at Meadowlark, an online store for home goods. My job is to help marketing and operations make better calls with the data we already collect. A good example: last spring our return rate jumped. Everyone had a theory. I pulled 6 months of orders and found that most returns came from two products with the wrong size chart. We fixed the charts in a day. Returns on those items fell by half the next month. How I work: Start with the decision, then find the data. Show one chart, not twenty. Write a short note that says what to do next. Tools I use daily: SQL Python Spreadsheets, still Dashboards that people actually open People ask me about: Moving from Excel to SQL Building a first dashboard Explaining data to people who hate charts If you're wrestling with a messy question, message me. I like a good puzzle.

I run a small nonprofit that teaches adults in our city to read, and I believe it's never too late. About one in five adults who walk into our center have hidden it for years. They have jobs and kids. They fill out forms at home where nobody can watch. Our job is to make the first visit feel safe. I've led Open Page for 9 years. We started with 2 volunteers in a church basement. Last year, 140 volunteers worked with 380 learners, and 61 of them passed a reading test they once thought was impossible. One learner, a bus driver named Ray, read a bedtime story to his grandson for the first time. What I believe: Dignity comes first. Small classes beat big programs. Every dollar should be easy to trace. People reach out to me about: Volunteering or tutoring Partnering with employers Starting a reading program in another city Giving, big or small If you want to help, or you know someone who needs us, message me. We always have room.

I build sales teams that hit their number without burning out the people who carry it. I'm VP of sales at Orchard, where we sell scheduling software to hospitals. When I joined, we had 4 reps, no clear process and a quota nobody believed in. Two years later we have 18 reps, and 14 of them hit quota last year. The fix was not a new script. We cut the number of deals each rep carried, added a weekly deal review where anyone could ask for help, and paid a bonus for customers who renewed, not just for new logos. What I believe: Reps quit managers, not quotas. A lost deal is data, not a failure. The best coaching happens on real calls, not in role play. People come to me for: Building a first sales process Hiring and ramping reps Forecasts you can trust Working with marketing without blame If you are building a sales team and want a second opinion, message me. I'm happy to share what went wrong for us too.

I'm a licensed therapist who works with adults feeling stuck after a big life change: a move, a loss, a new baby or a job that ended. Change can knock anyone off balance, even good change. Many people who reach out to me say some version of "I should be fine by now." You don't have to have it figured out to start talking. I run a small private practice and see clients online and in person. My sessions are calm and practical. We talk about what is hard right now, and we work on small steps that fit your real life. Everyone's pace is different, and we go at yours. What people come to me for: Adjusting after a move or a new job Grief and loss Becoming a new parent Feeling stuck and not knowing why A few things to know: I offer a free 15 minute call to see if we are a good fit. If I'm not the right person, I'll help you find someone who is. This profile is not a place for crisis support. If you are in danger, please contact local emergency services. To ask about openings, email me at care@example.com.

I help small business owners sign contracts they actually understand. Most owners I meet have signed at least one deal they later regretted. A lease with a hidden fee. A vendor contract that was hard to leave. It usually happened because the paperwork was long and they were busy. I'm a solo lawyer, and my practice focuses on contracts for businesses with fewer than 50 people. I read your contract, explain it in plain words and tell you what I would ask to change. One client, a bakery owner named Rosa, called me before signing a new lease. We found a clause about repairs that she had not noticed, and she was able to negotiate it before signing. How I work: Flat fees you know up front. Plain words, no jargon. You get a short written summary of every contract I review. Owners come to me for: Leases Vendor and client contracts Partnership agreements Questions before they sign This profile is general information, not legal advice for your situation. To talk about your contract, email me at counsel@example.com.
