Why we give this away

The fastest way to earn a conversation is to hand you the same tools we use.

Carriers pay us a residual when a client picks a provider. You do not pay us an advisory fee. That means the fastest way to earn a conversation is to hand you the same tools we use on client work and let you check the math yourself.

Every tool on this page is the real thing, not a teaser. If you run them and decide you are fine where you are, that is a good outcome too.

Common questions

Including whether someone will call you

Do I have to give you an email to use these?
Most of the tools open directly on the site. The one-page PDF asks for an email so we know it landed. There is no follow-up sequence.
Will someone call me if I download something?
Not unless you ask. If you request a stack audit or a bill audit, Jonathan reviews it and reaches out once.
What does it cost to have you run these with me?
Nothing. Carriers pay the residual, so there is no advisory fee and no product margin on our side.
Can I use these if I already have an MSP?
Yes. Plenty of companies use these to grade the partner they already have. That is a fair use of them.
Are the pricing numbers current?
The pricing bands page is sampled from real Ohio quotes and updated quarterly. Carrier rates move, so treat them as a benchmark, not a quote.
