Manual workflows feel free until you run the math

Manual workflows in a company feel free because there isn't an invoice that comes up from a third party. That's why most business owners, especially small business owners, never actually fix them. Run this formula on one process in your business. Map who touches a task and how long it takes them. Multiply that by how often it runs every month, and put a dollar value on those hours. Say every new client goes through the same intake: emails back and forth, manual entry into a spreadsheet, calendar invite sent by hand. That's maybe 45 minutes per client. At 20 clients a month, that's 15 hours of work that should take basically zero. Run that across your team on quoting, scheduling, follow-up, and status updates, and often you're looking at hundreds of dollars a week on single, simple workflows that should be entirely automated. That's before you even count what it costs you in missed opportunities. We've had owners realize they were bleeding $2,000+ a week on manual processes across the business and never saw it as a line item, because the cost was spread out across the team across different days of the week. Custom software and automations are how you stop paying that tax every single week. We're picking one business for our free 48-Hour MVP program. We'll work with you over two focused days to build real software that solves a real problem in your business. If you already know which process in your business is the expensive one, we want to hear from you. For the program, we're mostly looking for businesses that already have something running, because those are the builds where you can put what we ship to work right away. We're not going to shut the door on a brand-new idea from scratch, but if you're already operating and you know where software would move the needle, you're the people we want to hear from. Applying takes less than five minutes. Applications close Thursday, October 9. Apply: https://www.gorillabotlabs.com/48-hour-mvp
