What We Do

Odds are you spend a large amount of your day doing one of the following:

- Managing repetitive tasks
- Recruiting / hiring for junior roles
- Coordinating freelancers
- Testing out tech products
- Managing outcomes on recurring processes
- Arm wrestling with procurement

Sounds to this copywriter like you need worksharing. What's that? It's outsourcing and automation, remixed into a service model that helps clients run business processes. You can:

- 'Clone yourself' (basically, run the recurring workflows that take time from your day)
- Empower team members (give your team capital efficient execution resources without increasing your risk or headcount)
- Scale business processes - if you're cranky with your outsourcing vendor or not sure where to start with automation, call us.

Here's why we're better:

- Run templated or custom processes
- Change processes any time
- Scale up those processes on demand
- Super easy to start - there's no tech to install; it's all in the cloud
- Low risk (thanks monthly subscription model!)
- Secure - all work is done on locked-down spaces and documented

What can you do? The long answer is: any process you can explain. People use us most to: transform data, generate leads, tag data, gather research, run existing workflows, test new workflows, and manage outreach.
