Revenue & Operations Consulting for Businesses With Traction

More demand.
Smarter systems.
Stronger margins.

I connect the work that brings customers in with the systems that serve them, keep them, and make each sale worth more. From visibility and follow-up to fulfillment and team workflows, I help founders improve the whole path.

Sound Familiar?

A Weak Link Can Hold the Whole Business Back.

“We get inquiries. Too few become customers.”

Search visibility, your website, response times, and the sales process need to work together. A good channel can still lose business at the next step.

“Sales are growing. So are the problems.”

More volume is magnifying manual work, delivery issues, and avoidable costs. The operation needs to improve alongside demand.

“I can’t see which changes are actually paying off.”

Useful information is scattered across platforms and people. You need a small set of measures that connects the work to business performance.

The Guild Way

Trace the Customer Journey. Strengthen Every Handoff.

We start with the business as it actually works: how customers find you, how work gets done, and where progress slows. Then we decide what deserves your attention.

01

Understand

Trace the business from first inquiry to delivery and repeat purchase. Look at the numbers, the handoffs, and what your team does every day.

02

Decide

Choose the changes with the strongest business case. Agree on scope, responsibilities, and the measures that will tell us whether they worked.

03

Put It to Work

Build the agreed processes, tools, and commercial improvements with your team. I stay close to the work and bring in specialists when the scope calls for them.

04

Make It Last

Give your team clear ownership, usable documentation, and a rhythm for reviewing results. The improvements should keep working when I’m out of the room.

Revenue & Operations Results

What the Work Has Delivered.

$80K → $300K

Monthly Revenue

E-commerce website overhaul for 400+ SKUs, SEO, email marketing, Google Ads and content, alongside the fulfillment flow needed to support higher order volume.

$600K → $1.2M

Revenue Doubled in 9 Months

As fractional CEO of an import manufacturer, I added a direct-to-consumer channel and revamped wholesale, systems, the team, marketing and customer service.

<25% → 60%+

Margins

As co-founder and CEO of a precision-manufactured products brand, I moved production from unstable domestic machine shops to a vetted overseas factory, solved the quality problems and took margins from under 25% to over 60%.

Startup → Scale

IP Acquisition & Full Brand Build

We acquired a brand’s patents and trademarks at a bankruptcy auction, then built the business from the ground up: brand, product, sales channels, operations and team. The relaunch brought in more than $400K in purchase orders in the first three months.

1 → 2,000+

Products, Then a 7-Figure Exit

I built a wholesale distribution company from a single product to more than 2,000 SKUs, hit $1M in revenue in the first year and sold it seven years later.

1,000+

Retail Locations Serviced

Through my wholesale distribution company, I serviced more than 1,000 retailers, managing the accounts, reorders, inventory and fulfillment behind them.

48 States

Home Delivery Subscription

I founded a raw pet food company in 2018 and built it into a home delivery subscription box with a retail location, e-commerce and a team of 10, shipping to 48 states and ranking on page one of Google for “raw dog food delivery.”

75%+

Customer Retention

My raw pet food subscription kept more than 75% of its customers coming back, a high retention rate for raw dog food.

Work With Me

The Right Level of Help for the Work Ahead.

Start with a review, take on one focused sprint, go all in with the flagship, or keep me on as a partner. We choose the format around the problem and the people who will carry the work forward.

Start Here · 1–2 Weeks

Revenue & Operations Review

From $2,500

Find out where prospects, customers, time and margin are slipping between demand and delivery, and what fixing each one is likely worth. You leave with a ranked plan that’s yours to keep, whether you build it with me, your team or someone else.

Revenue Growth Sprint

From $5,000

The revenue side. For law firms, local businesses and brands that are great at the work but too hard to find or choose. In a few focused weeks, we tighten how you show up online and in your community, and how inquiries turn into customers.

  • Google Business Profile, reviews and local search fundamentals tightened
  • Website messaging and contact path cleaned up so the next step is obvious
  • Inquiry response and follow-up process set so leads don’t go cold
  • A community visibility plan covering referral partners, local events, sponsorships and associations
  • Baseline and end-of-sprint measures: calls, form fills and profile actions

Focused Sprint · 2–4 Weeks

Systems Architecture Sprint

From $5,000

The operations side. For businesses where demand is outpacing the way work gets done. We map how work actually moves through your business, then redesign the workflows, tools and handoffs so your team can handle more without more chaos.

  • Current workflows, tools and handoffs mapped
  • Bottlenecks and manual work ranked by cost and impact
  • Workflows and handoffs redesigned around how your team works
  • Tools and automations configured where they earn their keep

The Masterwork

From $10,000

Top line up. Bottom line up. My most complete engagement, built around your business. Both sprints in one: we rework how you win customers and how you deliver for them, together, so more of every sale turns into margin.

  • Revenue and operations reworked as one system
  • Sales, marketing and customer experience strengthened
  • Workflows, tools and handoffs rebuilt to cut waste and cost
  • Implementation with the people who will use it
  • Training, documentation and clear ownership
  • Results reviewed against the baseline

Ongoing · Defined Monthly Scope

By application

Work with me on the priorities that need senior attention over time: commercial performance, operating systems, and the decisions connecting them.

  • A defined responsibility and a shared plan
  • Hands-on leadership of agreed initiatives
  • Regular founder and team working sessions
  • A concise scorecard and clear progress reviews

Focused Ways to Work Together

Coaching + Working Sessions

Founder Advisory

From $2,500

Solution-focused coaching and working sessions for founders who want an experienced partner in their decisions. Bring the sales problem, the process that isn’t working, or the choice you keep postponing, and we work through it together. Along the way, I help you become an AI-assisted founder: tedious tasks handled, more output, and more of your time back. Ten- and twenty-session packages.

Workflow Implementation + Team Training

The AI-Assisted Team

From $5,000

I learn how your team works today and set a baseline. Then we put AI to work where it helps most: shortcuts, automations, first drafts, proofreading and quality checks. Your people get faster and sharper, and judgment and accountability stay with them.

How I Work

Human-Powered.
AI-Assisted.

AI makes good teams faster. It doesn’t replace judgment. I use agentic AI every day to research, build and move work forward, and I stay at the wheel the whole time.

That’s the standard I help founders and their teams adopt: more output, cleaner work, fewer tedious tasks, and people who stay accountable for the result.

The tools do more of the work. You stay in charge of it.

Who I Work With

For Founders Who Want to Build Bigger.

Established Businesses & Brands

  • Customers, a capable team, and room to improve
  • A product or service that already has demand
  • A founder willing to make decisions and support change
  • Particular experience in pet, health and wellness, e-commerce, law firms and professional services, and local businesses

Earlier-Stage Founders

  • Founder Advisory for clearer priorities and decisions
  • Selective projects when the problem and budget are defined
  • A practical conversation about the next stage

A Note From Brandine

I’ve Been in Your Seat.

I started with a lemonade stand at five and never really stopped. I built a wholesale distribution company from a single product to about 2,000 SKUs and sold it for seven figures. I built a raw pet food subscription that shipped to 48 states, and I acquired a brand through a bankruptcy auction and built it from startup to scale. Along the way, I’ve taken more than 30 brands to market and exhibited at more than 100 trade shows.

I also burned out twice. That taught me what most founders learn too late: a business that runs on the founder’s 16-hour days isn’t built to last.

So that’s what I bring to your business: smarter systems, a human-powered, AI-assisted team, and a founder who gets to have a life.

You work directly with me.

Where I’d Look First

A practical look at the places a business loses momentum: customer acquisition, follow-up, delivery, repeat purchase, and the work that keeps coming back to its founder.
