The Riddims Foundation · Proposal

Twenty six years of work, finally held by a system.

The record is already there. The reach is already there. What is missing is the structure that holds it, so the next twenty six years do not run out of one person's memory.

26 yrsOf work to organize

The objective

One place that holds every contact, every project and every dollar, so the work stops living in your head.

The build

Your customized CRM configured, all contact data cleaned and organized, pipelines, payments and e-signature live, project system connected.

The outcome

You can see who owes you, who to follow up, and what is due next, without opening five places.

The investment

$2,500 to start, split 50/50. Then $150/month for the platform. Phases 2 and 3 priced, not committed.

Where you actually are

Your situation in your own words. If this part is wrong, everything after it is wrong.

"Right now I'm ramping up a number of different projects, so it's just a matter of handling all the different projects and the tasks and just getting organized and streamlined."

Eddy, on the call

"The last 18 months, I've not done much with my business because I've been just so focused on city stuff. So I'm just rebuilding right now."

Eddy, on the call
THE FOUR SYSTEMS A BUSINESS RUNS ON Communication Email is in place YOU HAVE THIS People Contacts across phone, spreadsheets, email lists NO SYSTEM YET Work Projects tracked by memory NO SYSTEM YET Money Accounting in place YOU HAVE THIS These two are the whole engagement

Half your foundation is already standing. The two missing pieces are the two that hold customers and delivery.

The real cost of the gap

  • Every project restart begins by rebuilding context that already existed
  • A vendor found and vetted years ago has to be found and vetted again
  • Follow-up depends on remembering, so the quiet deals go quiet permanently
  • Twenty six years of relationships are an asset the business cannot currently query

The one objective

Objective

Get the business out of your head and into a system that can be handed work.

How we know it worked: you open one screen and see who owes you money, who needs a follow up, and what is due this week.

Why this order and not the other one

You asked about AI. This is the honest sequence to get there, and why we do not start at the top.

4 · AI and agents Work that runs without you starting it 3 · Your workflows The way you already run things, written down 2 · Your data Contacts cleaned, categorized and trustworthy 1 · Your systems Where people, work and money actually live BUILT IN THIS ORDER

AI amplifies whatever is already there. Point it at scattered records and it produces scattered results faster. Phase 1 is the floor everything else stands on.

Start where the money is

Your customer system comes first because it is the one that brings money in. When that is running, the rest of the build funds itself.

You already own the hard part

The processes you repeat every year are already systems. They just live in your head instead of on paper. Phase 3 writes them down and hands them over.

Phase 1 · what gets built

The foundation. Everything below is included in the $2,500, configured for you, not handed to you as a login.

Your data, organized

  • Pulled from phone, spreadsheets, email lists and loose files
  • Cleaned and de-duplicated
  • Enriched with missing names, addresses and numbers
  • Categorized: vendors, press, sponsors, community, clients

Email that sends as you

  • Your own sending domain configured
  • Campaigns and automated sequences
  • Every message logged against the contact

Text messaging, compliant

  • A business number that sends and receives
  • Carrier registration handled, so you are not flagged as spam

Your sales pipeline

  • Stages from first conversation to signed
  • Automatic reminders so nothing goes quiet
  • One board showing every open deal

Getting paid

  • Invoices sent from the system
  • Card and bank payment links
  • Automatic chase on what is unpaid

Contracts signed in place

  • Send an agreement as a link
  • They sign on a phone
  • Signed copy filed against the contact

The full picture of a person

  • Every email, text, invoice and document in one timeline
  • Where they sit in your pipeline
  • What they have paid and what is open

One dashboard

  • Who owes you money, and how long it has been
  • What needs following up today
  • How the business is performing over time

Project system connected No licence cost

  • Tasks, owners, dependencies and dates
  • Set up and connected to your contacts
  • Free tier is enough to start
What you hold at the end of Phase 1
  • One searchable database of every contact you have ever made, categorized
  • A live pipeline showing every open opportunity and its next action
  • The ability to email or text any segment of your audience from your own domain
  • Invoices, payment links and signed contracts running through one place
  • A project board holding every active job with owners and dates

The three phases

Each one stands on its own. You decide on the next only after the one before it is working.

1 Foundation Systems and data $2,500 about 2.5 weeks 2 Presence Who you are, told properly $4,500 when you are ready 3 The AI layer Agents doing the work $1,500 after 1 and 2 STARTS NOW

Phase 2 · Presence

Your ideal client and service offerings defined. Brand and site rebuilt so twenty six years of work is visible and searchable, with lead capture feeding straight into your pipeline.

Two audiences addressed separately: the people who hire you, and the audiences you market to.

Phase 3 · The AI layer

The processes you repeat get written down and handed to agents. You stop working inside the tools and start telling the AI layer what you want.

Cheap because the hard work happened in Phases 1 and 2.

Running cost

The platform that runs all of it is $150 per month, beginning when your system goes live.

Your project system starts on its free tier. No licence cost to begin.

What we need from you

Short list. The first one is the only thing that sets the pace.

  • Your contact data, all of it. Phone export, spreadsheets, your email list, any loose files. Messy is fine, that is what the cleanup is for.
  • Access to your domain so email can send as you rather than as a stranger.
  • Your payment account connected, so invoices can actually collect.
  • An hour to walk your pipeline. We map the stages your deals really move through.
  • The list of who you work with. Vendors, press and partners, so the categories match how you think.

What comes after

Not part of this build, and not priced here. Named because it is the reason the foundation is worth doing properly.

The open position

Nobody owns PR distribution for the Caribbean community.

It is wide open, it has never been taken, and it pays. You have the relationships and the events. What has been missing is the machine underneath, which is exactly what Phases 1 and 2 build.

  • A proven blueprint exists: a three month campaign that reached every Caribbean outlet in South Florida, New York, Hartford and three publications in the UK
  • An influencer network and a full press, radio and television list already exist to bring to it
  • Your event history and audience are the other half

"I think that's a low-hanging fruit to make some money."

Next steps

The three things that move this forward

1
Start gathering your contact dataEddy

Export from your phone, pull the spreadsheets, find the email list. This is the one thing that decides how fast the build goes, and it can start before anything is paid.

2
Pay the deposit when the cash flow is readyEddy

$1,250 starts the work. The link is on this page and stays live. No rush attached to it.
