My name is Jody Taylor 👋 I help founders engineer their company towards operational excellence 👨🏼‍🔧 For more than a decade I have helped countless startups, scale ups and everyday businesses from around the world. From manufacturing, design, fashion, tech, web3, hospitality, F&B, FMCG, import/export and more.

Here are some of my client's reviews: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Modern Mantra (Venture Design Firm, USA) "Jody is one of those rare breeds who can both set a clear strategy and roll his sleeves up to execute. He is both an operator and a leader, who thrives on solving complex challenges with clear, straightforward solutions. Jody helped our organization recognize critical gaps in our management and operations, and worked hands-on with our team to drive solutions. After working with Jody, we began keeping better score in our business, and winning more often." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Read Lighting (Lighting Supplier, USA) "We hired Jody initially just to help us revamp our operations and bring them into the 21st century. He led a comprehensive audit of our current operations, analyzed our sales and fulfilment workflows, and presented us with improved workflows tailored to our needs and future growth. He is now helping us implement his recommended changes and helping us build our first e-commerce site! Jody’s guidance has been invaluable in bringing clarity and organisation to our processes. Highly recommend working with him!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Core Capital Asia (Investment Advisory Services, Hong Kong) "RUN-OPS helped with understanding and structuring a complex international business transaction. Jody was very useful in his thought process and allowed us to make better informed decisions. Thanks buddy!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Mahallati Interior Design (Interior Design Agency, Indonesia) "I've been lucky to be trained by Jody Taylor. He pays close attention to details and is well-organized. His clear communication and helpful presentations have made it easier for me to understand complex ideas and make good decisions. I've learned a lot from him. Jody also checks in to make sure I'm on the right track, and he's really patient when explaining things, especially when I'm learning something new." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Noonara (Activewear, Thailand) "Jody is the man. He knew exactly the right questions to ask to identify our pain points with the business. With his focus on our success we established a number of areas with “low hanging fruit” that we didn’t even realize was there. He actually spoke to our accountants directly to take care of issues that we didn’t have the capacity to solve. Working with Run Ops was the best business decision we could of made. Thank you for everything." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Prizma (Design Agency, Russia) "Working with Jody was an absolute pleasure! We needed a development strategy for our studio, specifically to enhance the value of our services. Jody meticulously analyzed every aspect and proposed a step-by-step action plan.

Thanks to Jody for his professionalism – we truly appreciate it!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Identimark (Safety Equipment, New Zealand) "Jody did a great job and evaluating the ERP options for our company taking into account our bespoke workflow requirements and reporting requirements.

    I specialise in transforming your funnel to dramatically improve the ROI and conversion rate as you monetise your knowledge and expertise online. All funnels are unique, because your audience is unique and what you offer is unique. Let me help you find the online voice that your ideal clients are looking for., and make working with you a no-brainer option for you. Wherever you are on your journey to successfully monetise you knowledge and expertise online, I can step in and help you transform your funnel, potentially your offer, and maybe even your online business. Any of the following entry points: 👉 You have an existing funnel that does not convert profitably. 👉 You have to set up your funnel for the first time. 👉 You still need to finalise what you want to offer and how to promote it online. My preferred business platforms are Systeme.io or Kartra. I have developed numerous high-converting funnels on both of these platforms. I have coached hundreds of people to successfully monetise their knowledge and expertise online, be it online freelancing, online business, or starting an online community (or a combination of these) - depending on your specific requirements, aspirations, and goals.
