MICHAEL

Your own
Command Center.

Michael, you asked me to recreate this for you. I will rewrite it from scratch, from a master plan, and point it at the tools you already use. Three weeks from the day we start, you can log in and see your people.

SETUP

Three weeks to login

ASK OF YOU

Mark the number

The second
build.

I pieced Command Center together for my own shop and hard-coded a lot of TDO into the walls. You asked me to recreate it for you. This time it starts with a master plan, and the lessons from the first build. Your tools, your people, your money. Still Command Center.

THE WORK

Rewrite it properly

From scratch, on a better form of the app than the one I run today.

A written master plan first, then we build against it.

People, calls, money, and follow-up land in your instance. Your data stays there.

I host it. Your team is the one inside the product.

YOUR PART

Tell me the tools

The ones you already use. Fireflies instead of Fathom, if that is what you run.

Mail, calendar, money, and the rest of the rails you actually live in.

That is the input I need from you. The product stays Command Center.

WHEN IT IS DONE, AND WHAT A MONTH IS

Three weeks to login. Then one change at a time.

Setup is finished when you can log in and see your people. That is three weeks from the day we start. The monthly seat is hosting, upkeep, and one change that ships to your instance. We finish that one before we start the next. If you stop after the 90 days, you keep an export of your data. Hosting and the shop stop with the seat.

02 / 04

What a stranger
would pay.

I have never sold this, so there is no established list. The left column is what I would have to charge the next company for this to be worth doing. The right column is what I am asking you.

NEXT COMPANY

If this were a stranger

$20,000

one-time setup

AND

$5,000

per month

The number that makes the next one worth taking.

YOU · FIRST

What I am asking you

$15,000

one-time setup

AND

$4,000

per month

$5,000 under the stranger number on setup. $1,000 under on the month.

SETUP

Half to start. Half when you can log in and see your people, three weeks from start.

THE MONTH

90 days, then month to month, billed in advance. One change in flight. You keep an export if you stop.

03 / 04

Red-pen this.

Michael, I have never sold this before. You have priced more things than I have. Write the number you would actually pay for a three-week rewrite and one change a month after that.

THE FINISH LINE

Three weeks from start

You can log in and see your people. Second half of setup is due that day. If three weeks is the wrong clock, mark it.

IF YOU STOP

You keep the export

Your data comes with you. Hosting and the shop end with the seat. The instance does not keep running unpaid.

WRITE HERE

What I would actually pay

If the ceiling does not work for both of us, we say so and stay as we are. I would rather hear that from you than guess.
