Consulting to a Major Home Services Provider
A Peek into What You Should Expect From a Consultant Before Paying a Dime
I’m not sure how long this has been going on … decades. A company is trying to figure out what to do next. They’ve finally grown enough to explore using a consulting firm. They’re woo’d be several, each one having a professionally polished PowerPoint presentation and skilled orators in skinny pants prancing around the room falling in love with their own presentation. For a long time, it came down to brand reputation.
Then it came down to dollars and cents.
Now, consulting firms are about to experience a race to the bottom.
A New Paradigm
There’s a window of opportunity for nimble consulting organizations to re-imagine the way the work. Not just automate it. Let show you an example.
Pretend that instead of spending 3 months putting on a show, only to come up with a report, that you could show a client the report before you do any paid work at all? How would those big firms look during orals when they’re asked to do the same? Wouldn’t that be great?
Let’s imagine that instead showing them a visual representation of your form of hybrid-agile consulting, you should them the result of a 60 second exercise. Would it need to be as good as a 3 month and 6-figure exercise? Probably not. Could it actually be better?
Pretend you’re trying to re-imagine Home Services
Now, if you were interested in disrupting an industry that seems well-entrenched and protected against AI, what would be the value of starting your journey with a strategic hypothesis that you could then test and validate. And even better, you wouldn’t have to pay for it. This sort of artifact is now a given in the market place.
Is McKinsey going to do that? Bain?
I’d be shocked if this weren’t being developed or even implemented at a small scale somewhere. The following took me 60 seconds (plus years of experience and preparation) to produce.

Original Report: I can’t post that here because it’s way to long. So you’ll have to read it in Notion.
Let me know if you’d like me to run a free analysis of your big idea, or a problem your facing, or even if you just want to get a sense of what the future of your industry might look like.
You can book a 30-minute call, I’ll collect what I need from you and have a nicely formatted report the next day. How can you lose?
I know, you can work with a traditional consulting model firm and get your wallet hoovered. 😢
👆This is only a small part of what I’m able to do. But, we don’t need to talk about that now.
