Role & Duration
Role: Business Systems Architect & Lead Generation Strategist

The Challenge
The service had earned a reputation for exceptional quality but struggled with scaling beyond a tightly networked client base. The founder was heavily involved in client acquisition, scheduling, and quality control, creating a bottleneck that limited both capacity and growth.
Core challenges included:
- Highly inconsistent lead flow — spikes following referrals, then dry spells
- Founder-dependent sales and scheduling, risking burnout and missed opportunities
- Manual operations in booking, payments, and client communication resulting in inefficiencies
- Lack of repeatable systems for onboarding new clients and maintaining service standards
This situation made growth unpredictable and operationally chaotic, despite strong market demand.
Strategic & Operational Approach
MABD applied a holistic redesign of the client acquisition and service delivery infrastructure, focusing on scalability and founder bandwidth relief.
1. Reframing service positioning
The service was repositioned from “cleaning provider” to “trusted home care partner,” emphasizing reliability, peace of mind, and personalized service plans.
This elevated perceived value and attracted higher-paying, long-term clients.
2. Building an automated lead generation funnel
We developed a multi-channel lead capture system featuring:
- Dedicated landing pages outlining tailored service packages
- Automated email and SMS follow-ups nurturing prospects through decision-making
- Integrated booking platform enabling instant appointment scheduling
These elements combined to reduce reliance on founder outreach and convert leads faster.
3. Streamlining operational workflows
We implemented:
- Automated client onboarding with clear expectations and service customization
- Centralized scheduling with capacity alerts to optimize resource allocation
- Digital invoicing and payment automation to improve cash flow and reduce manual tasks
4. Establishing retention and referral programs
We created systems to maintain client engagement and incentivize referrals, increasing lifetime client value and organic growth.
