The owners we back run on

Shopify Plus / Gorgias / Zendesk / Klaviyo / Re:amaze / QuickBooks
The cost of doing it all yourself

EVERY HOUR YOU SPEND IN THE WEEDS IS AN HOUR YOUR COMPETITION SPENT WINNING.

An overwhelmed founder buried in admin work

You didn't build this to live inside an inbox. But here you are — answering "where's my order?" for the 40th time today, refunding a customer who waited two days for a reply, watching your numbers slip while your to-do list grows teeth.

  • 01 Tickets pile up overnight while customers form bad first impressions.
  • 02 Chargebacks creep up because nobody flagged the angry message in time.
  • 03 You hire in-house, train for weeks, then watch them quit at month four.
  • 04 Your time — the most expensive hour on the org chart — gets burned on busywork.

Delegation isn't a luxury. It's the difference between an owner and an employee of their own company.

What we handle

EVERYTHING BETWEEN "ORDER PLACED" AND "FIVE-STAR REVIEW."

We don't just answer messages. We protect your margins, your reputation, and your time — across every channel a customer can reach you on.

01

Customer Support, End-To-End

Email, chat, social DMs, helpdesk tickets — answered in your brand voice, within minutes, around the clock. Refunds, exchanges, address changes, tracking issues. Fully owned.

  • Gorgias, Zendesk, Re:amaze, Freshdesk
  • Instagram, Facebook, TikTok DMs
  • Live chat coverage 24/7
02

Order & Dispute Resolution

We catch the angry customer before PayPal does. Chargeback responses, dispute documentation, lost-package claims — handled before they become losses.

  • PayPal & Stripe dispute responses
  • Carrier claims (USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL)
  • Pre-emptive escalation flagging
03

Store & Back-Office Ops

Product uploads, inventory checks, collection updates, vendor coordination, bookkeeping support. The thousand small tasks that eat your week — off your plate by Tuesday.

  • Product & variant management
  • Bulk catalog updates & SEO meta
  • Invoicing & bookkeeping assist
04

Review & Reputation Management

A one-star moment doesn't have to be permanent. We respond, recover, and route — turning angry customers into loyalty stories and quietly building your social proof.

  • Judge.me, Loox, Yotpo workflows
  • Trustpilot & Google review recovery
  • Proactive review-request sequencing
05

Reporting Owners Actually Read

Weekly briefs in plain English. What customers asked, what broke, what we fixed, what you should look at. No dashboards you'll never open.

  • Weekly written brief, every Monday
  • Top complaint themes & product flags
  • CSAT, response-time & refund tracking
06

A Dedicated Team Lead — Not A Ticket Pool

You don't get "an agent." You get a named team lead, a named backup, and a manager who knows your business the way you do. One Slack channel. One escalation path. No "let me check with my supervisor."

  • Named lead + named backup from day one
  • Shared Slack / Notion / Loom workspace
  • Bi-weekly strategy sync with your team
One team. One mission.

WE DON'T SEND YOU STAFF. WE SEND YOU A UNIT THAT MOVES AS ONE.

Most agencies rent you a seat. We embed a team that trains together, shares your playbook, and treats your business like the mission it is. When one of us knows your business, all of us do.

A

Accountable

Named people. Named owners of outcomes. If something slips, you know exactly who has it.

B

Battle-Tested

Our operators average 8+ years. They've seen your worst ticket already — and the one after it.

C

Committed

We win when you win. Month-to-month means we earn the retainer every single week.

How we onboard

FROM "DROWNING IN TICKETS" TO "FULLY COVERED" IN 72 HOURS.

01

Discovery Call — Day 0

A 30-minute call. We learn your business, your voice, your worst tickets, and what winning looks like for you. No sales fluff — we either fit or we don't.

02

Brand & SOP Build — Day 1

We document your tone, your policies, your edge cases. You review, redline, approve. This becomes your team's playbook — and yours, forever.

03

Shadow Week — Day 2–4

Your lead handles tickets with your approval on every reply. You correct, we adjust. By Friday, the playbook is sharp and the muscle memory is set.

04

Full Ownership — Day 5+

We take the wheel. You get your inbox back. We send the weekly brief every Monday, and you spend your hours on the things only you can do.

Common questions

WHAT OWNERS ASK BEFORE SIGNING.

If we haven't answered it here, ask us on the call. You get a real answer — not a brochure.

How fast can you actually start?

Most accounts go live within 72 hours of signing. Complex catalogs or multi-region operations may take up to 5 business days. We never start until your SOPs are signed off — speed without accuracy isn't speed.

Will your team sound like my brand?

Yes — that's the entire point. During onboarding we capture your tone, your vocabulary, your "yes/no" words, and your forbidden phrases. We review past tickets you handled personally and pattern-match. By week two, your most loyal customer won't be able to tell the difference.

What if a VA quits or goes on leave?

Every account gets a named backup from day one. They sit in the same Slack channel, see the same tickets, and know your SOPs. Coverage never drops — that's a contractual promise, not a hope.

Do you only work with Shopify stores?

Our deepest expertise is Shopify and Shopify Plus, but our team also supports WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Amazon Seller Central, and service businesses. If you operate across multiple platforms, ask us — we'll tell you honestly if we're the right fit.

What about data security?

NDAs are signed by every team member before they see your business. We operate on least-privilege access, use password managers for all credentials, and run on encrypted, audited workstations. We can sign your DPA on request.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Month-to-month after the first 30 days. If we're not earning our keep, we don't deserve the retainer — and we'd rather you tell us than ghost us.
