/ENGAGEMENT

Three ways to work with RunLevel6

Most clients start with an audit. Once we both know where the real problem is, the usual next step is an ongoing retainer. However you start, a senior person does the work, and what we build keeps running after we step back.

/WHERE TO START

Start where the problem is

There's no long onboarding to sit through. Find the line below that sounds like you and go straight to the option that fits.

See the five capabilities behind all three

Something in the funnel is clearly broken, but nobody can point at which part.

Growth Systems Audit

Leads come in, then leak somewhere between the form and the sales conversation.

Growth Systems Audit

You want to see how we work before committing to anything ongoing.

Growth Systems Audit

You have a plan you believe in and no senior person with the time to run it.

Embedded Growth Partner

Marketing is one person doing five jobs, and nothing builds month to month.

Embedded Growth Partner

The website, the CRM or the reporting is the bottleneck, and you already know it.

/THE THREE ENGAGEMENTS

What each engagement covers

You get the same senior person and the same standard of work in all three. What changes is the commitment, the scope and how long we stay involved.

01 / START HERE

Growth Systems Audit

We go through your website, search rankings, ads, HubSpot, lead handling and reporting. We look at all of it together, because the hold-up is usually in the handoffs between them. You finish with a prioritised roadmap you could hand to any competent team, including your own.

COMMITMENTFixed scope, one-off
TYPICAL LENGTHTwo to three weeks
BEST FORTeams who need a diagnosis before they spend
YOU END UP WITHA prioritised roadmap and a clear first 90 days
Book an auditCompare with the retainer
WHAT WE LOOK AT
Website structure, speed and conversion paths
Search visibility and technical SEO health
Paid campaigns, tracking and attribution
HubSpot data, pipelines and lead routing
HOW IT RUNS
A working session to set context and targets
Hands-on review of your accounts and analytics
Short interviews with the sales and marketing side
A walkthrough of the findings with you in the room
WHAT YOU GET
A written findings document, plainly worded
A roadmap ordered by effort and impact
Quick wins you can action the same week
An honest view on what is not worth doing
02 / ONGOING

Embedded Growth Partner

We join your team two or three days a week. The same person writes the plan, does the work and fronts up with the numbers, so nothing gets lost between an account manager and whoever does the job. You get the range of an agency with the context and continuity of a hire.

COMMITMENTMonthly retainer, two to three days a week
TYPICAL LENGTHSix months and up
BEST FORCompanies with real targets and nobody senior owning them
YOU END UP WITHA setup your team can run without us
Discuss a retainerStart with an audit instead
WHAT WE LOOK AFTER
The growth plan and the quarterly priorities
Campaign execution across search, paid and content
HubSpot, tracking and reporting hygiene
Automation and internal tooling where it saves real hours
HOW IT RUNS
A weekly working session with your team
Direct access in Slack or Teams in between
One live plan everyone in the business can see
A monthly review scored against the targets we set
WHAT YOU GET
Senior capability without a senior salary
Documented systems that stay when we leave
One accountable person for the whole engagement
Reporting written for a board, in pipeline and revenue
03 / ONE-OFF PROJECT

Growth Foundation Build

One job, scoped up front and done properly: a new website, a HubSpot setup, the SEO groundwork, a custom app or an automation. The scope and timeline are fixed, and there's no open-ended discovery phase to pay for first.

COMMITMENTFixed scope project
TYPICAL LENGTHFour to twelve weeks, depending on scope
BEST FORTeams with capable people and one broken foundation
YOU END UP WITHA working system, documented and handed over
Scope a projectSee what we build
WHAT WE BUILD
Website rebuilds and high-intent landing pages

WHAT YOU GET
A finished, working system, live and in use
Tracking and reporting wired in from day one
Full ownership of every account and asset
An honest recommendation on what comes next
/HOW A MONTH RUNS

How a month runs on a retainer

Every month follows the same shape. It's deliberately unglamorous, because predictable beats impressive when you're building something to last.

WEEK 1

Plan and prioritise

We agree the two or three things that matter this month and park the rest. It all goes into one plan your whole team can see.

WEEKS 2 AND 3

Build and ship

Campaigns, pages, workflows and fixes go live. You see the progress in the work itself.

WEEK 4

Measure honestly

We report results against the targets we set, including the ones that went backwards. If something isn't working, you'll hear it from us first.

EVERY QUARTER

Reset the plan

We step back, re-read the market and reset priorities. It's also the natural point to change the shape of the engagement, or end it.

06
/WHAT WE PROMISE

What you can hold us to

Matt Palmer runs every engagement himself, from the Waikato. These six apply whichever option you pick, and they go in the agreement as well as on this page.

More about who you'll be working with
01✓

One senior person

The person in your kickoff is the person doing the work. Where a job needs a specialist we bring one in, and we stay accountable for it.

02✓

You own everything

Every account, domain, workflow and document sits in your name from day one. Leaving is never a technical problem.

03✓

Reporting in plain numbers

We report on pipeline and revenue. If a channel isn't paying its way, you'll hear it from us before you spot it yourself.

04✓

No lock-in beyond notice

Retainers run month to month after the initial term, with 30 days' notice. We keep the work good enough that you stay by choice.

05✓

Built for you to run

Everything gets documented so your team can run it. The whole point is to make us optional.

06✓

We'll tell you to stop

If the fit is wrong, or your money is better spent somewhere other than with us, you'll hear it before you sign anything.

/COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you get in touch

The questions that come up in almost every first conversation, answered here so you don't have to ask them.

What does it cost?

+

It depends on scope, so we quote after a short conversation rather than publish a number that would be wrong for most people. You get a written figure before any work starts, and we'll tell you if your budget is better spent elsewhere.

Do I have to start with an audit?

+

No. If you already know the problem and want it fixed, go straight to a foundation build or a retainer. The audit is for teams who aren't sure where the real issue sits.

Are you an agency?

+

No. RunLevel6 is one senior person working inside your business, with specialists brought in when a job needs them. You're not paying for a layer of account management.

Do you work outside the Waikato?

+

Yes. We're based in the Waikato and work with B2B companies across New Zealand and Australia. Most of it is remote, with onsite sessions when they're worth the travel.

What if it isn't working?

+

Retainers move to month to month after the initial term with 30 days' notice, and every quarterly reset is a natural exit point. We'd rather end an engagement cleanly than keep billing one that's stopped delivering.

Can you work alongside our agency?

+

Often, yes. Plenty of clients keep a specialist agency running one channel while we look after the strategy, the systems and the reporting around it.
