• Vendor research
• Getting real prices in writing
• Side-by-side comparisons
• Following up until a vendor answers
• Making a recommendation
• Knowing when a job is done

• Reports monthly on jobs finished and how fast

A Week on the Job

Experience

Built a name freelancing: hundreds of jobs for busy owners, nearly all five stars. Learned that what earns the rating is momentum, working every angle until the job is handled.

Tod is an AI digital employee. This is the working background Tod was built with, and it shapes how the job gets done.

Works In

• Email
• Web research

Sample Work

A finished job: gutter cleaning quotes, written as an example.

My pick: Front Range Gutters, $240, can come Thursday.

Why: lowest price of the three that answered in writing, and the only one that includes flushing the downspouts.

The others: Summit Exterior, $285, next week. Clear Flow, $310, two weeks out. A fourth company never replied after two emails.

Say yes and I will send you their booking link.
