You run a trades business. AI can save you 5+ hours a week. Most consultants don't know that because they've never been on a job site.
I'm Cole Cummings. I spent six years as a steel building erector before I started using AI every day to run my own business. I built a chat product, a CRM, partner dashboards, all of it. Now I'm doing 90-minute audits for trades owners who want to know exactly which AI tools fit their shop, where to start, and what to ignore.
$297 one-time
90-minute Zoom audit + 5-page written report. No subscription, no upsell.
30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't actually start using one of the 3 tools I recommend within 30 days of our call, I refund the full $297. No paperwork.
What you get
1
90-minute Zoom with me
You walk me through how your shop runs today. What eats your time. What you wish was automated. What you've tried that didn't stick. I take notes. No sales pitch, no SaaS push.
2
5-page written audit (delivered within 48 hours)
The 3 AI tools that fit your shop, ranked. Why each one matters. Real cost per month. Setup steps in plain words. What to ignore and why. Sent as a PDF you can hand to your office manager.
3
One follow-up call (15 minutes, free)
30 days after delivery I call you back to ask what stuck and what didn't. If you want to keep working together after that, we talk. If not, no pressure. The audit is the audit.
Who I am, since you're trusting me with 90 minutes
About
I'm Cole Cummings. Wisconsin. Six years as a steel building erector putting up hospitals, warehouses, aircraft hangars. I'm not a software engineer. I built my own AI products by telling Claude AI what to build, step by step, until they worked.
What that means for you: I speak the trades dialect. I know what your day actually looks like, because I lived a version of it. When a tech consultant tells you to "implement an AI workflow," I'll tell you which app to download, in what order, and what to skip.
I built StillOpen, a 24/7 AI chat for home services trades. I write content for trades shops. I've installed AI on real plumber websites. I'm cheap because I'm newer at consulting than I am at building. That savings is yours, not mine.

Common questions
What kind of trades shops do you work with?
Plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofing, garage doors, lawn care, mechanic shops. If you run 1 to 10 trucks and you wear too many hats, the audit fits. If you're a 200-employee mechanical contractor, you need someone bigger than me. I'll tell you that in the first 10 minutes if it's true.
Will you try to sell me your other product on the call?
No. The audit is the audit. If StillOpen happens to be the right fit for your shop, you'll see that in the written report and decide on your own time. I don't pitch on the call. I'm there to listen and learn your shop.
What if I read the report and don't use any of it?
Full refund within 30 days. Email me and tell me what didn't work. I don't make you fight for it. The risk is on me, not you.
How fast can we get on the call?
After you pay you get a calendar link to book me. Usually I can do the call within 48 hours. The report goes out 48 hours after the call.
Can my office manager join the call?
Yes. Bring whoever runs your operations. The more voices on the call, the better the audit. No extra charge.
What if I just want to text you a quick question first?
Do it. (534) 901-0258. I answer my own phone. If you text after 9pm Wisconsin time I'll reply in the morning.
One audit. One report. One follow-up.
Money-back if you don't use any of it. The risk is on me.
