More Time, Less Tax
76% of AV Integrators say finding and retaining talent is a chief concern through the end of 2025 and into 2026 (according to Commercial Integrator).
But after 20 years in technician-heavy service industries, I’ve realized that you usually can't hire your way out of a bottleneck.

When your best design engineers are spending 11 to 20 hours on a single proposal, it’s not because they are slow. It’s because they are paying an "administrative tax" every day.
They are stuck in fragmented handoffs:
Manually re-typing site survey notes into ConnectWise or D-Tools.
Hunting down compatibility specs for a "snowflake" project.
"Swivel-chairing" data between disconnected software tools because the systems don't talk to each other.
This goes beyond an efficiency problem into an employee burnout problem: You are asking highly skilled, highly paid talent to do low-value data entry.
In January, I’m launching a program specifically for a few Founding Partners in the Midwest AV space. I’m not coming in to sell you a "bot." I’m coming in to perform an Automation Audit to find where your data is dying at the handoff and build the digital nervous system that lets your current team handle 2x the volume without the 8:00 PM paperwork.
It’s time to stop just looking for more people and start looking for more time.
I’m looking for 5 integrators within driving distance of Madison, Wisconsin to join the pilot. If you’re tired of fragmented handoffs killing your margins, let's talk.
