How Sapwood approaches it

Every engagement starts with a free systems diagnostic: read-only access across the CRM, tech stack, attribution and reporting, and a written report with every gap ranked by what it costs a year. You keep the report either way.

After that the retainer is $2,000 a month for up to fifteen hours a week, with Kaypo deal scoring included at no extra cost, and anything outside the usual scope is agreed with you first.
