Charter member program

Five shops. Today's price, for life.
Then we're done.

We make field, dispatch and billing paperless for refrigeration and HVAC shops. The techs just talk. Just Talk Shop is early. The first five shops on board get today's rate locked for life, for as long as they stay subscribed, free onboarding, and a direct line to the operator for 90 days. We're picking five charter members who help define what good looks like — one onboarding a week. Then the door closes.

The offer

What charter members get.

Six things. The value is the lock and the access.

Charter price: $1,500/mo

$250 under list, with 6 techs included, +$200/mo per additional tech, and office seats (dispatcher, bookkeeper, owner) free and unlimited.

$0 onboarding

Waives the standard $2,500 setup fee. Your customers, vendors and vehicles seeded from QuickBooks, every tech set up with their own Tech Bot, your shop live in days.

Price lock for life — $1,500/mo

List price rises to $1,750 after the charter window, and the per-tech rate to $250. Charter members keep $1,500 — and the $200 per-tech rate — for life, as long as they stay continuously subscribed.

30-day guarantee

If your techs aren't using it in 30 days, your subscription is refunded in full. With setup waived, that's every dollar you paid.

Direct line to Just Talk Shop for 90 days

Text or call us. Not a ticket queue, not an SDR — the operator answering the phone.

Weekly 30-min feedback call for 90 days

Roadmap input. You see what's being built and you push priorities. Feedback flows both ways.

Month to month from day one. After your first 90 days you can pay for the year up front instead and get two months free. No long contract and no termination fee; cancel whenever you like. The charter terms come with staying, not with a signature.

The trade

What we ask in return.

A fair trade between adults. Not fine print.

Case study rights

Logo, story, named quotes, before/after numbers — once results land. Drafts shared with you for review before anything publishes.

Reference rights

Prospects may call you directly. Capped at two calls per month for the first year — at your convenience.

Weekly feedback call for 90 days

The same 30 minutes that serves you. Feedback flows both ways — you'll see the roadmap as it's being built.

Who it's for

Is this you?

The cohort is sized narrow on purpose.

Yes

Built for owners who run the dispatch board themselves.

  • A refrigeration, HVAC, kitchen equipment or commercial maintenance shop, or close to it
  • Built for commercial service shops
  • Owner/operator with decision authority
  • Ready to onboard in the next 30–60 days
  • Real intent to run the product, not just kick tires

Not sure you fit? Apply anyway. We'll talk it through on the first call.

Probably not

A clean "not yet" saves both of us time.

  • —No decision authority — committees, corporate sign-off
  • —Just researching or benchmarking vendors

Not a no forever — just a no for this cohort. Send us a note and we'll keep you posted.

How it works

The application flow.

Five minutes from filling the form to a real conversation.

01

Send the application below.

Nine fields, one of them optional. Who you are, the shop, team size, industry, timeline, and the paperwork that eats your week. No signup, no marketing sequence.

02

It lands directly with me.

Same questions I'd ask on a call. Plain text, no calendar dance.

03

If you fit, I'll reach out within 24 hours.

Direct — no SDR, no queue. We book a 30-minute call and walk through how your shop runs today.

04

If you sign, onboarding starts the same week.

Your customers and their locations, your vendors and your vehicles seeded, every tech set up with their own Tech Bot. Day one your board is populated and your techs just start talking.

Straight answers

The five questions every owner asks.

Why no commitment? Aren't you worried about people just cancelling?+

Honestly, no. If a customer wants out, I'd rather they walk than feel trapped. The only thing worth saying plainly is that the charter terms come with staying — the price lock holds for as long as you're continuously subscribed, and the waived onboarding and my cell number come with it. Cancel and come back later and you come back at whatever list is then.

What does the price lock actually cover?+

The $1,500/mo base and the $200/tech rate, locked for life while you stay continuously subscribed — even as list rises to $1,750 and $250/tech for everyone after you. Office seats were never on the bill, so there's nothing to lock there.

Why only 5 shops?+

Because I do the onboardings myself, one at a time. I spent over a decade onboarding clients into systems I built, so I know what a good one actually takes — and five is what I can do properly without anyone getting a rushed install. You're not taking a risk on our size. You're getting paid for it: my cell, your rate locked for life, and the $2,500 onboarding waived.

Is my shop the right size?+

If you run a commercial service shop and dispatch your own crew, apply. We'll talk through your crew on the first call.

What about results from H&H Equipment Service?+

H&H has run its real day on Just Talk Shop since late April 2026: the field, dispatch, parts and hours on site, with the techs just talking to it. The bill builds itself from each job, and an approved bill goes to QuickBooks as an estimate. As of October 2026 that was 936 work orders opened and 759 completed, more than four in ten of them priority-1 emergency calls. Every tech checks in by talking to a Tech Bot, and nobody sat through a training session. Time saved and dispatch outcomes are still accumulating, and I'm not making outcome claims until the numbers are in. Eric Harrison, who owns H&H, is our field advisor. If you want to hear it from him, ask and I'll set up a call.

Start your application

Tell us about your shop.

Nine fields. We read every one.

Plain-text email. No marketing sequence. We answer within 24 hours — yes or no.

By submitting, you're asking to be considered for the charter group. Nothing is binding until a deal memo is signed.

Five shops. Then we're done.

The scarce thing isn't the price — it's the operator access. We can give weekly hands-on time to five owners. After that the math stops working.
