We don’t just advise. We operate.

There is a line in most consulting engagements where the work stops and the client’s work begins. The deck is delivered, the recommendations are agreed, everyone shakes hands — and then the business has to go and do all of it, usually without the person who wrote the plan.

We built Standpoint on the other side of that line.

The difference is access

When we take on a business, we ask for the login. The marketplace account, the ad account, the store backend, the email platform. Not because a plan has no value, but because the plan is the easy part. The value is in the hundred small decisions that come after it, and those cannot be handed over in a document.

What operating looks like

It looks like rewriting a product listing because the title was costing impressions. Like sitting in the ad account and finding that the campaign everyone was proud of was buying clicks from people who would never convert. Like building the email sequence that follows up with a lead at 11pm on a Sunday, so the business does not have to.

None of that is glamorous and none of it fits in a slide. It is also where the results come from.

What we do

We build online stores with marketing automation designed in from the start, rather than bolted on once the traffic disappoints. We grow marketplace businesses on Amazon and Walmart — listings, advertising, account health, the daily work of holding a rank. We manage paid ads for businesses whose ads are not converting, which usually turns out to be a funnel problem rather than an ad problem. We build B2B lead generation systems for companies that sell high-value services to other businesses. We source products and launch brands, from supplier to first sale. We advise startups on strategy and the day-to-day. And for founders who would rather own the skill than rent it, we offer 1-on-1 mentorship in Amazon FBA and e-commerce.

Who this suits, and who it does not

It suits an owner who wants the work done and is willing to give someone access to do it. It does not suit a business that wants a strategy document to show a board, or one that wants to keep every decision in-house and simply be told what to think. Both are legitimate. Neither is what we sell.

How to start

A free 15-minute strategy call. You describe where the business is, we ask questions until we understand the real problem — which is often not the one in the booking note — and then we tell you what we would do if it were ours. Sometimes the honest answer is that you do not need us yet. We would rather say that in the first fifteen minutes than in the third month.
