Sourcing Department

Fees and duty can take 28–42% of your sale price before you earn a penny.

We find the suppliers, push on your landed cost, and tell you which channel actually leaves you a margin worth having.

A point of margin found in procurement spends exactly the same as a point found in sales, and it is usually easier to get.

Suppliers found, screened and quoted against each other. Your cost of goods pushed on, properly, by someone who does this every week. Shipping and fulfilment rates optimised. Every renewal negotiated before it quietly rolls over at a higher number than last year.

A point of margin found in procurement is worth the same as a point found in sales, and it is very often easier to get.

How it is priced

Every plan includes a set number of production credits each month — that is how we measure everything we make. A social post is 1 credit, a blog article is 6, a short video is 5, a full commercial is 30. Spend them on whatever mix suits your month.

Roughly two thirds of your subscription is production allowance. The rest is strategy, management, platform and support. We say that out loud because most agencies will not.

If you need more than your allowance, a prepaid block costs $22 a credit and buying à la carte in the moment costs $40. That gap is deliberate: planning ahead should be cheaper than panicking. And if you overspend by more than 40 credits in a month we convert it to a prepaid block automatically and charge you the lower rate.

The Department Stack

This is one of eight departments you can run with us. Every one you add takes another 5% off all of them, up to 20%. That is not a loyalty gimmick — all eight read from the same Brand Brain and the same knowledge base, so your marketing team already knows what your sales team knows. The fifth department genuinely costs us less to run than the first, and we pass that on.

What else is charged

• Setup fee — once, at the start. It covers onboarding, strategy and the baseline we measure against.
• Administration & support — $95/mo per account. Funds 24/7 monitoring, the support SLA, the uptime guarantee and every third-party tool licence. Charged openly rather than hidden in the tier.
• Initialisation — only if we build something from nothing, such as a social channel at $150, a Google Business Profile, a business email domain or an ad account.

Nonprofits get 15% off recurring lines. Businesses based in North Lawndale and the surrounding West and South Side community areas get a further 10% off for the first twelve months.

Exactly what you get

No vague tiers. These are the numbers, and anything past them has a price on the pricing page rather than a quote three days later.

What you get, and how to take it with you

In your portal. A supplier comparison table you can sort — price, MOQ, lead time, terms — and the landed-cost model behind each one.

How you review it. Pick who to proceed with; we make the introduction and you own the relationship.

What you can export:

• Supplier comparison (.xlsx and .csv)
• Landed-cost model (.xlsx) with the assumptions visible and editable
• Negotiation summary PDF — what was asked, what was agreed
• Contact sheet and quote archive

Everything exports in an open format and stays downloadable. Cancelling does not take any of it away from you.
