🏆 Top Rated Plus | AI Automation & Integration for Revenue Operations 📈 $15M+ in pipeline driven through AI-powered sales and GTM systems ⚙️ 10+ years implementing revenue infrastructure for professional services businesses Send me an invite or message and I'll send you a free personalized Loom showing exactly how I'd approach your situation and what I'd do to move the needle. That's my promise. You need systems that solve real problems, built right the first time, by someone who understands your revenue model, not just your tech stack. Businesses bring me in when their systems can't keep up with their growth. Deals slipping. Manual work that should be automated. A CRM nobody trusts. Reporting that can't tell you where revenue actually comes from. I fix the infrastructure underneath so the business scales 24/7 without everything depending on you to hold it together. I'm Kole. I sold my marketing firm in 2021 and founded BrandGears to do this work at a higher level. I bring an operator's lens to every build — I'm not just asking what you want to build, I'm asking what it needs to do to drive meaningful revenue. I work best with: 1) Founder-operators who've outgrown their current stack 2) Ops and revenue leaders who need execution, not more headcount 3) Businesses with operational complexity that off-the-shelf software can't fix I've delivered across professional services, healthcare, real estate, fintech, and ecommerce — wherever sales, marketing, and ops need to work as one system. What I build: 1) AI Agents & Intelligent Workflows Custom AI agents, LLM integrations, and end-to-end automated workflows built around your actual revenue process — lead qualification, client communication, document processing, follow-up systems. 2) Ops Optimization & Process Automation Make, n8n, Zapier, and custom API builds that eliminate manual handoffs and keep your revenue process running without human intervention at every step. I've driven 90%+ reductions in process load through properly engineered automation. 3) CRM Architecture & Revenue Systems Full-stack CRM builds and RevOps infrastructure across HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive — pipelines, lifecycle automation, sequences, and reporting designed around how your team actually sells. 4) Custom Software & Integrated Systems When your stack hits its ceiling, I build past it. Python, FastAPI, React, PostgreSQL — client portals, internal ops tools, and AI-powered systems that integrate directly into what you already use. 5) Dashboards, Data & Cleanup Custom reporting layers, BI dashboards, and data infrastructure that give your leadership real-time truth — plus the migrations, deduplication, and cleanup that make everything downstream trustworthy. What clients say, consistently: I listened, I delivered what I said I would, and they didn't have to babysit me to get there. → A consulting firm's ops, rebuilt end-to-end with AI automation and a custom Python/React platform — "the single biggest operational improvement we've made" — a 90% reduction in process time. → A PE-backed property services firm needed clean CRM and sales infrastructure before an acquisition. Delivered on time, zero data loss. What does working with my team and me look like? 1) Every engagement starts with a discovery conversation. 2) We diagnose before we prescribe. 3) We document everything so your team owns the system after we're done. 4) We measure success by what moves in your business, not deliverables checked off a list. If you're big enough to need real systems and clear-eyed enough to know that building them wrong costs more than building them right, let's talk.

I build automation systems that actually run business operations not just simple task automations. Most of the clients I work with are dealing with one of three problems: - Their processes are manual and time consuming - Their current automations are unreliable or breaking - Or their tools don’t properly talk to each other That’s where I come in I design and implement structured workflows using n8n, Make, Zapier etc, APIs, and AI that handle processes end to end and keep everything running in the background without constant oversight What I typically build: • End to end lead flow systems from form submission to CRM to follow up • n8n workflows with proper structure, logging, and error handling • API integrations between SaaS platforms and internal tools • AI powered workflows using OpenAI or Claude for classification, enrichment, and routing • Data synchronization across CRMs, databases, and third party platforms • Internal automation systems that replace repetitive operational work I also handle self hosted setups when needed including deploying n8n on DigitalOcean, configuring environments, and setting up backups so your system is stable long term My approach is simple Build it clean Make it reliable Make sure it can scale You won’t get a fragile setup that only works under perfect conditions You’ll get a system that continues running as your business grows If you already have a workflow that needs fixing, I can audit and stabilize it If you’re starting from scratch, I can design and build the right system from the ground up Happy to take a look at your current setup or project scope and map out the best approach

When everything lives in one person's head, that person becomes the system. ⚡ Every question comes to them. Every dropped ball lands on them. Every vacation is a risk. 🌴 I help swamped founders and small teams get out of that mode by building simple, reliable Notion systems. One place where information lives, tasks have owners, and nothing falls through the cracks. 🛠️ What I've built For a portfolio case study modeled on a real studio brief, I designed a Notion workspace where the owner has full financial visibility: billing, payments, what's outstanding, while the team sees a clean project view with none of that exposed. For four years I managed two vacation rental properties remotely, coordinating five platforms into a single operation. Guests repeatedly called the check-in process "seamless" and said they didn't need to contact me because everything was already answered. That's the standard I build to. Two clients from entirely different contexts, a $5 task and a former Apple and Netflix executive, independently described my work as "above and beyond" without prompting. I bring the same attention to both. 🧠 Why my background matters My degree is in philosophy, not computer science, which means I'm trained to see patterns, question assumptions, and turn chaos into clear, logical structures. I think in systems and stories simultaneously. I look for the story your business intends to tell, find where your customers' actual experience diverges from it, and build the systems that close the gap. I tend to be the person people come to when they're stuck and don't know what to reach for. At a multilingual research firm, I was the one colleagues and managers came to when something wasn't working. Not because it was my job title, but because the answer was reliably there. The thread across all of it: I don't just catch what's wrong on the surface. I catch what's actually happening underneath. 🧰 My toolkit Notion, Google Workspace, Calendly, templates, and light automation only where it genuinely saves time. Intentionally low-code: your team shouldn't need a developer to update a workflow or find a file. 👇 Let's talk if: - Your current "system" is memory plus Slack messages - You've tried to get organized before and watched it fall apart - You want someone who explains their decisions clearly and builds for the person who comes after them Tell me what's currently living in your head that you'd like to be free of. I'll tell you if it's something I can systematize, or point you elsewhere if it's not.

I don't just ‘automate’, I leverage systems to recover lost capital and reclaim lost time. → $50k+ MRR Support: Re-engineered a UGC marketplace ecosystem for a B2B/B2C SaaS. → $12k Instant Recovery: Saved a venue five figures by auditing/redesigning data infrastructure. → 50+ Hours Won Back: Recovered two full workdays a week for an E-Commerce startup. → 90% Traffic Retention: Massive churn mitigation through CRO and technical workflow refinement. I audit your operations to find where cash is falling through the cracks. Then, I use advanced automation (Zapier, Make, n8n) to build "set-and-forget" systems that act as a streamlined growth engine. Coming from a background in marketing, branding, and product development, I have spent 6 years helping build and develop purpose built solutions to optimize workflows and processes for business to reclaim revenue and resources. If you want to learn how automation and agents can help you work and scale faster, message me 'LEAK' for a 5-minute audit of your current system. I’ll tell you exactly where the holes are.

Stop losing leads to manual workflows. I built the systems that helped Better Earth Solar drive $18MM in monthly closed contracts with 6 closers. Most businesses have a "leaky bucket" problem.

Why trust me with your infrastructure? Scalability: Built a $250k/month marketing engine for Ecommerce Business Builders. Revenue Impact: Architected the inside sales infrastructure for Better Earth Solar ($18MM/mo). Retention: Designed custom CRM systems for SOTA Weightloss to increase MRR and LTV. What I can build for you: AI-Driven Lead Engines: Automated sourcing and qualification with custom AI icebreakers (OpenAI/Claude).

The Tech Stack: GoHighLevel | Make | Zapier | Airtable | HubSpot | Close CRM | Custom APIs I don't just "set up Zaps." I architect meticulous, lasting systems that reduce your overhead and increase your output. Let's chat about how I can help you automate your growth.
