FRIDAY 15 MAY PROMISE · 3 DAYS OVERDUE · NDIS / AGED CARE · AEST 15:00 NOW

Friday Michael pivoted off retainers entirely. He's at capacity (2 new staff, 80 casuals, half team sick, A$120K extra overhead). Google Ads pushed 2-3 months. Wants websites first as a fixed project, then revisit ads with lower retainer + per-SIL-booking bonus.

What he said Friday

  • A$2K retainer was his ceiling — A$3K too high right now
  • Wants websites Project 1 · ~3 weeks delivery
  • Include BOTH disability AND aged care on the same site (aged care licence in 6 weeks)
  • Wants quote → then mockup → then catch-up this week
  • Layered: websites now · Google Ads ~3 months · possibly lower retainer + bonus per SIL booking
  • Aged-care reference competitor he flagged: ADA Australia

What to send

  • Short apology for delay (sick this weekend, doctor over)
  • Fixed quote · Resilient Life Care + Lumi Support
  • Inclusions: aged care + disability content blocks · SEO basics · booking form · tracking · GHL pipeline
  • Timeline: 3 weeks from quote approval
  • Acknowledge layered model: ads paused 2-3 months
  • Next: he replies → mockup refresh → catch-up this week

Morning sprint

NOW → 14:30 BALI

Eat. 30-40 min nap. Then ship in this order.

Midday · payments + Jovana

14:30 → 16:30 BALI

Pay first, then have the phase-out conversation. Reverse order makes it transactional.

Late afternoon · US contacts

Emilia · MX Skin & Laser (Leeds) podcast

18:30 BALI · 11:30 UK

Chris Stewart · Underline Medical

22:00 BALI · 15:00 UK
DO NOT open with the agenda. Open with the oldest slip delivered + a "here's what's changing this week." Chris's confidence is the constraint, not yours.

Tim Romanoski · Warrior Medical · churn save

TUE 01:00 BALI · MON 17:00 UK
DO NOT: discount-first, vague promises, beg. DBR is the concrete value lever.

Jess · 30-day notice + DBR ask

MORNING · IN PERSON

Same conversation per your call. Separating either feels disingenuous (DBR before) or removes the ask leverage (DBR after).

Frame: "I literally have no work for you right now. Not your fault. I'm paying the next 2 invoices + the 30-day notice. The one thing I'd love your help with during your notice is the DBRs for Caroline + Steven King + Chris Stewart — that's it."

SQUEEZE MORE FROM THE WEEK · OPEN QUESTIONS

5 high-leverage questions you haven't answered yet

  1. Existing patient DBs ready to fire Monday? If Caroline + Steven + Chris already have patient lists exported in a usable format, you can launch DBR before Thursday — Mon/Tue gives extra 48h of "money already in your account" cash.
  2. Can Steven King's site go live this week not Wed/Thu? You said Wed/Thu on Friday's call. If gold tweak + WP migration is done by tonight, going live Tuesday compresses launch by 48h.
  3. Is there a way to invoice Baxter the website on a 50/50 split (50% deposit, 50% on delivery)? Half the cash arrives this week instead of in 3 weeks.
  4. Marc Yunes + GHL — can you sell the same package to Casey or James? They're offboarding, US$2.5K GHL in-house is exactly the bridge product for both. Sub-account transfer + setup = one-time cash without retainer.
  5. Tim Romanoski — what if you offer 3 months free hands-on with prepaid bonus? If he prepays 3 months at half rate (~A$4.5K-6K), you get the cash now AND the chance to save the relationship. Cameron save-play allows prepayment hook on top of free month.
