Ops systems for small service firms

How much work is in your pipeline right now?

And would three people in your business give the same number? MakeItMobile builds one system of record for small service firms, so every enquiry, quote and job lives in one place.

One place. I'll make it the only place.

SOURCES ONE RECORD OUTPUT Email enquiry Website form Phone call Referral System of record every enquiry, quote and job, in one place Follow-up Report ATTRIBUTION Which marketing dollar turned into this job?

You run a small firm

Two to twenty people. Work comes in as quotes and projects. You spend real money on marketing, and you couldn't say, per dollar, what it turned into. There's one person drowning in admin, and it might be you.

That's who the Ops Audit was built for.

How the audit works →

You work for yourself

No staff, no handoffs. Just you and too many places to look. An ops install would be overkill at this stage, and I'd tell you so on a call. What you need is a tighter day: your pricing, your pipeline and your hours in one system you own.

That's what the toolkit below is for.

The six-layer ops scan

Firms rarely lose work because they're bad at the work.

Every service firm runs on the same six layers. The middle is almost always fine. The ends are where it leaks.

Capture

Where every enquiry actually lands.

Respond

Who replies, and how fast.

Quote

What went out, and what went quiet.

Deliver

The work itself. Usually excellent.

Collect

Invoiced, chased, paid.

Learn

Which marketing dollar became a job.

The audit scores all six live, on your numbers. Capture and Learn are the two I look at first.

How the service lane works

Three steps, and you can stop after any of them.

01

Free 20-minute fit call

Its only job is to find out whether an audit is worth your money. I'll tell you if it isn't.

02

The Ops Audit, $750

Ninety minutes on a shared screen, your operations scored live across six layers, and a report with the leaks priced in dollars, from your numbers rather than industry averages. Credited in full against an install within 30 days.

03

The install

If the audit finds a leak worth fixing, I build the fix in tools you own. The audit is where you see what that costs and what it should pay back, next to your own numbers. You keep every account. I hand over a recorded runbook and remove my own access at handoff.

For a business of one

Not ready for an install? Start here.

An ops install makes sense when there's a team dropping handoffs between them. When it's just you, the leaks are different: pricing that's too low, hours that vanish, follow-ups that live in your head. The toolkit below fixes those. It's the same thinking as the install, sized and priced for one person.

⚙️

Automate · Template · Batch

A recipe library that replaces a hire. The solopreneur's answer to the I-cant-afford-to-delegate problem.

The difference

Built for one person. Zero delegation required.

Where every other system says hire someone, this one gives you three levers you can pull alone.

Automate it

A tool does it on a schedule. No input from you.

Template it

You do it, but from a reusable start, in a fraction of the time.

Batch it

You do it, but all at once, on your terms, not scattered all week.

How it works

Running in two minutes.

1

Buy & get the link

Checkout takes seconds. You get an instant link to the template, no waiting, no shipping.

2

Duplicate into Notion

One click copies the whole OS into your own Notion. Works on the free plan. Yours to edit forever.

3

Run your business

Drop in your clients, set your rate, and start your daily rhythm. The system does the remembering.

Questions

Everything you're wondering.

Do I need a paid Notion account?

No. The OS works perfectly on Notion's free personal plan. If you already use Notion, it drops right into your workspace.

Can I edit and delete the parts I don't need?

Completely. When you duplicate the template you get your own private copy with full edit rights. Nothing syncs back to us and your copy is yours forever.

How do I receive it?

Instantly. After checkout you get a link that copies the entire OS into your Notion with one click. No files to manage, no shipping.

Is this a subscription?

Never. It's a one-time payment. No recurring fees, no upsells to unlock features.

What if it's not for me?

Reach out within 14 days and we'll make it right. Because it's a digital template, please review the what's-inside section before buying.

Who's behind this

I'm Luke. I built a licensed financial practice in Canada from zero, solo, and sold it in 2026. The licence chained it to a postal code, so I sold the business I'd built to build one I can run from anywhere.

Everything on this page, from the $9 checklist to the audit, is the same discipline that ran that practice: one system, everything captured, nothing living in someone's head.

However big your business is, the question is the same.

How much work is in your pipeline right now, and would you bet on your answer?
