Morning briefing
Know where the business stands before the kettle's boiled. One message covers cash, jobs and anything that went wrong yesterday.
Hours back
4
hours a week back, typically
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
Cash read from the books
Bank balance, what's due in this week, what's due out, and any invoice that just went overdue.
- 02
Today's jobs and yesterday's results
Jobs booked for today, jobs finished yesterday, and anything that ran over, got cancelled or needs a return visit.
- 03
Customer problems pulled out
Complaints, bad reviews and unhappy messages from the last 24 hours, with who's handling each one.
- 04
Decisions waiting on you
A count of what's in your decisions list, with anything urgent named.
- 05
Sent where you'll read it
By email or WhatsApp at the time you choose, short enough to read on a phone.
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.
The briefing only reads. It doesn't reply to anyone, move money or change a job. What to do about anything in it is up to you.
What it's worth
What those hours add up to.
4 hours a week, over 46 working weeks, is 184 hours a year. At $50 an hour, that’s
$9,200
back in the business, every year.
Typical, not promised.
Before and after
The job, before and after.
How it runs today
You check the bank app, then the job board, then the inbox, then the team chat, and you're still not sure whether anything went wrong yesterday. Some days you skip it and hear about a problem from a customer.
What we build
- Cash read from the books
- Today's jobs and yesterday's results
- Customer problems pulled out
- Decisions waiting on you
- Sent where you'll read it
A month in
Four hours a week of checking five apps gone. Problems reach you the morning after they happen, not a week later from an unhappy customer.
Short enough to actually read
The briefing works because it's short. We agree with you what earns a line in it, usually cash, today's work, problems and decisions. Everything else waits for the weekly digest. If you catch yourself skimming past a section, it gets cut.
FAQ
Can I reply to the morning briefing with a question?
Yes. Reply with something like 'Who owes us the most?' and you get an answer from the same records the morning briefing reads.
What happens to the morning briefing when I'm on holiday?
You can pause the morning briefing, or have it go to whoever's running things while you're away.
