Find out what automation can do for you—let’s talk!

Do You Only Operate in Portland, Oregon?

I’m based in Portland, OR, and I love working with local businesses in person when possible. However, I also offer remote automation services and can work with businesses anywhere.

Is AI Really Reliable Enough for Business Use?

Yes! AI-powered automation is commonly used by businesses of all sizes to streamline operations, reduce errors, and improve efficiency. When properly configured, AI follows predefined rules and continuously learns from data to improve accuracy.

Can AI Make Mistakes? What Happens If Something Goes Wrong?

Like any technology, AI isn’t perfect. However, automation workflows include safeguards, human oversight, and error-handling mechanisms to ensure reliability. If an issue arises, adjustments can be made quickly to refine and improve performance.

How Does AI-Powered Automation Compare to Hiring an Employee?

Automation doesn’t replace employees, but it does increase employee productivity by handling repetitive tasks like data entry, scheduling, and reporting. This allows your team to focus on high-value work, customer service, and business growth—without increasing overhead costs.

Can AI and Automation Really Save Me Time and Money?

Absolutely. By automating routine processes, businesses can save countless hours every week, reduce costly human errors, and streamline operations. Over time, this translates to higher efficiency, lower labor costs, and increased revenue potential.

Is My Business Too Small to Benefit from Automation?

Not at all! Small businesses have the most to gain from automation, as it helps streamline operations without the need for additional staff. Even basic automations—like invoicing, appointment scheduling, or email follow-ups—can free up valuable time.

What Kinds of Tasks Can Automation Handle in a Small Business?

Automation can streamline data entry, invoicing, lead tracking, email follow-ups, social media posting, appointment scheduling, reporting, and more. It reduces busywork and ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

How Do I Know Which Processes in My Business Should Be Automated?

Start with repetitive, time-consuming tasks that don’t require human creativity—like manual data entry, customer follow-ups, or order processing. If a task follows a set pattern, it’s likely a great automation candidate.

Can Automation Help Me Manage Customer Inquiries and Leads?

Yes! AI-powered chatbots can answer FAQs, qualify leads, and route inquiries to the right person instantly. Marketing automation ensures follow-ups happen automatically, so you never lose an opportunity.

Will Automation Improve My Workflow, or Just Add Complexity?

When done right, automation simplifies workflows by eliminating unnecessary steps and connecting your tools. The goal isn’t to add complexity—it’s to make work faster, smoother, and more efficient.

How Does Automation Help Businesses Scale Without Hiring More Staff?

Automation handles repetitive tasks that would otherwise require additional employees. This means businesses can grow their customer base, improve operations, and increase revenue without needing to expand their team.

Is Automation Expensive? How Much Does It Cost to Get Started?

Automation is more affordable than hiring additional staff and typically pays for itself through time savings. Pricing varies based on complexity, but I offer solutions starting at $500 for new automation setups and ongoing support from $250/month.

How Do You Determine the Cost of an Automation Project?

Pricing is based on the number of tools involved, setup time, and any necessary staff training, but also considers the long-term value and impact on your business.

Basic Automations (1-2 tools, simple workflows) start at $500.

Advanced Automations (3-5 tools, more complex integrations) typically range from $1,500 to $2,500.

Transformational Automations require custom pricing because they go beyond efficiency—they have the potential to fundamentally reshape how your business operates. These automations can replace entire processes, create new revenue opportunities, or scale operations in ways that wouldn’t be possible without automation. They require specialized testing, fine-tuning, and ongoing monitoring to ensure they deliver maximum ROI and long-term success.

For ongoing support and optimizations, I offer maintenance plans starting at $250/month to keep your automations running smoothly.

Do I Need a Big Budget to Automate My Business?

No. Even the simplest automations can make a huge impact without requiring a large upfront investment. I work with businesses to prioritize the most valuable automations first.

Do You Offer In-Person Consultations?

Yes! If you’re in Portland or the surrounding areas, I can visit your business, observe workflows, and suggest automations tailored to your needs. If you’re outside of Portland, I offer virtual consultations.

Why Work With a Local Automation Consultant?

Unlike larger RPA (Robotic Process Automation) or BPA (Business Process Automation) consultation firms, I take a personalized, hands-on approach, including in-person workflow evaluations for businesses in the Portland Metro Area. This allows me to customize automations based on your real-world operations instead of just applying generic solutions.

Are There Ongoing Costs for Automation Maintenance and Updates?

Ongoing support plans start at $250/month and include maintenance, troubleshooting, and monthly optimizations to keep everything running smoothly. However, if you prefer to manage the automation yourself, I’m always happy to set everything up so that you own 100% of the software, with no ongoing commitment required.

What’s the ROI of Automation? How Soon Will I See Results?

Most businesses see time savings immediately after implementation, and financial ROI within months. The more tasks you automate, the faster you recover the investment in working with an RPA consultant.

Will Automation Work With the Software I Already Use?

Most likely! Automation tools can connect with thousands of apps, from CRMs and accounting software to email platforms and e-commerce tools. If a direct integration isn’t available, I can build custom webhook integrations to ensure your systems communicate seamlessly.

What Happens If an Automation Breaks? Do You Offer Support?

Yes! If something goes wrong, I provide on-call troubleshooting and monthly optimizations to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Can I Test Automation Before Fully Committing?

Yes! I offer a free initial consultation and can set up a small test automation to demonstrate the impact before scaling up.

What Industries Do You Work With?

I provide businesses in Portland, Oregon with RPA (Robotic Process Automation) consulting services across a variety of industries, including:

Retail & eCommerce
Breweries, Cafés, & Restaurants
Real Estate & Property Management
Professional Services (Law Firms, Accountants, Consultants)
Local Trades & Home Services
