Performance capability you can put in front of a client tomorrow.
For Shopify build, design and paid agencies who keep being asked questions that sit outside what they staff for. I work behind you or beside you, whichever suits, and I do not go after your client.
I will not approach your client, before, during or after. In writing, in every engagement.
I also do not build websites, which is the part that makes this work rather than just sound reassuring. Implementation goes back to you by default, because I am structurally not a competitor rather than merely a well behaved one.
My business depends on a small number of long partner relationships. Poaching once would end all of them, and I would rather have the relationships.
Where I usually get called in.
The client asks what the build is actually worth. You are quoting a replatform and they want a business case. I build it independently, which is exactly why they will believe it, and it tends to make the project easier to sign rather than harder.
Post-launch, the numbers have not moved. The site is better and revenue is flat. Usually the problem was never the site, and somebody needs to establish what it was before the relationship sours and the case study never gets written.
They want conversion, CRM or AI visibility. You do not staff it and you do not want to say no and watch them go shopping. Refer it or white label it, and keep the relationship.
You need a client-side head in a pitch. Somebody in the room who has actually run the thing you are proposing to run for them. Occasionally that is the whole difference between a yes and a maybe.
How it works commercially.
-
White label
I work under your brand. You own the relationship and the margin, and the client never needs to know I exist. Day rate or fixed scope, whichever is cleaner for the piece of work.
-
Named associate
I appear as your performance lead. Often stronger in a pitch than an anonymous resource, because it gives the client a real person with a real track record to trust.
-
Referral, in both directions
You send me performance work, I send you build, design and creative work. Terms stated plainly rather than negotiated case by case, because that is what makes a partnership easy to keep using.
Who you would be putting in front of a client.
Twenty years in ecommerce, about ten of them owning a profit and loss client side. inov-8, Naturewall, Smiffys. The first million pound trading month, fifty-six countries opened, an eight person team built from nothing.
I have also spent years agency side, so I know how your business is structured and where the margin actually sits. That tends to make scoping conversations shorter.
The full track recordHave a client conversation you would rather not have alone?
Twenty minutes, and no expectation of work on either side.
