Calendar protection
Around three hours a week back for the work only you can do. You see where last week went, and time gets held for pricing and planning.

How it runs
What we build, step by step.
This is the usual shape. Yours gets built around how your team actually does the job.
- 01
Last week reviewed
Where your hours went: on site, with customers, with staff, with suppliers, and in meetings that ran long or got moved twice.
- 02
Suggestions for this week
Meetings worth cancelling, shortening or handing to someone else, with the reason for each.
- 03
Time held for the important work
Blocks for quoting, planning and the bank, kept free of new bookings unless you say otherwise.
- 04
New requests checked against your rules
Sales reps, cold pitches and vague 'quick chat' requests get a polite decline or a suggestion to email instead, drafted for you to approve.
Shown with software we see a lot. If your team uses something else, we build it into that instead.
Built for your business
Same job, different business. We build yours.
Two firms in the same trade rarely run a job the same way. Different software, different steps, different people signing off. We build it for your business, around how your team actually does the job.
Your steps
Built around the order your team already works in, odd exceptions included.
Your software
Runs inside the tools you already pay for, set up the way you use them.
Your rules
Your wording, your limits, your sign-offs. Nothing generic goes out in your name.
You sign off
Your team keeps the final say.
Every decline and cancellation is a draft until you approve it. It never turns down a customer meeting on its own.
What it's worth
What those hours add up to.
3 hours a week, over 46 working weeks, is 138 hours a year. At $50 an hour, that’s
$6,900
back in the business, every year.
Typical, not promised.
Before and after
The job, before and after.
How it runs today
Your week fills up with site visits, sales reps, staff questions and meetings that could have been a phone call. The work that grows the business, like pricing and planning, happens at 9pm if at all.

A month in
A few hours a week come back for pricing and planning, and fewer evenings go on catching up.
FAQ
Will calendar protection cancel meetings without asking?
No. It suggests changes and drafts polite declines. You approve every change to your calendar.
What counts as a meeting I don't need?
You decide. We write down your rules together on the call (no sales reps without an email first, say, or supplier meetings go to the ops manager), and the weekly suggestions follow them.
