For owners who still run their own business
The back office that answers, follows up, and keeps the books current. With a person behind it.
I build the AI back office for owners who still run their own business, or two of them. The AI handles the phone, the follow-up, and the reporting. I’m the man behind it, and I pick up when it can’t.
Ten minutes. No call required. You get the report either way.
That’s my AI avatar. The words and the voice are mine; the face is the automation.
Where it goes wrong
Three leaks every owner recognizes.
The call that comes in while you’re with a customer.
It rings four times and goes to voicemail. The caller tries the next name on the list. You find out at 9pm, if you find out at all.
The lead that sits in an inbox until it’s cold.
A form gets filled out on Tuesday. Somebody means to call back. By Thursday they’ve hired someone who answered on Tuesday.
The report that only gets done when you do it.
The numbers live in three places. Pulling them together is your job, so it happens when you have time, which is never.
Built for a specific kind of owner.
A good fit
- You own and run a small business, or more than one
- You are still the person the phone, the leads, and the numbers end up with
- Your revenue is roughly $1 million to $10 million, combined
- You sell a service or run a local business, not a product line at scale
- You are in the United States
- You want the problem fixed, not a technology tour
Not a fit
- You run a startup looking for a technical co-founder
- You report to a board or outside investors
- You want custom software built from scratch
- You are looking for someone to run your marketing (see Stronghold CMO)
How it works
Four steps. Nothing hidden.
Take the assessment.
Ten minutes, plain questions about how your business actually runs. Free.
Get the report.
You see where the calls, leads, and reports are leaking, with the cost of each. It’s yours whether or not you call me.
We talk for fifteen minutes.
If the numbers hold up when we look at them together, I tell you what I’d build and what it costs. If they don’t, I tell you that instead.
I build it and run it.
The AI answers, follows up, and keeps the books current. I’m on the other end of the transfer when it needs a person. One monthly fee, cancel any month.
If the numbers don’t hold up when we look at them, I’ll tell you.
That’s the whole sales process.
Who’s behind it
Thirty years of building systems. Now they answer the phone.
I’m Stacey Tallitsch. I’ve spent thirty years building and running technology for businesses, written twenty-one books, and taught more than thirty thousand students. The Standalone is what I built for owners who don’t want to become technologists to keep their business from leaking. Stronghold CMO, the AI receptionist for the trades, runs inside it.
