Portland small business owners shouldn't be the only thing holding it together.
Clear problems deserve clear solutions. Every engagement starts with understanding what's actually broken. Then we fix it.
Portland's small business market is one of the most active in the Pacific Northwest. From trades contractors in East Portland to professional service firms in the Pearl District, the pattern is consistent: the business grew, the chaos grew with it, and the owner never had time to build the system underneath it all. Sentric Group works with Portland-area Christian business owners and service firm operators who are ready to change that. Flat-rate engagements, defined deliverables, and no long-term contracts.
You've built something real in Portland. But if you left for two weeks, would it keep running? The Bottleneck Audit identifies the three operational breakdowns costing you the most and gives you a written roadmap to fix them, delivered within 24 hours of your call.
- Pre-call intake questionnaire sent automatically at booking
- 45-minute focused diagnostic call
- Written report delivered within 24 hours
- Three biggest operational breakdowns identified
- Prioritized roadmap for addressing each one
- Optional 15-minute follow-up call to review the report
This is for you if: You serve trades contractors, HVAC and plumbing companies, professional service firms, and construction businesses and you're stretched thin, not sure what to fix first, or scaling faster than your systems can handle.
Portland service businesses come to the Systems Sprint when a specific breakdown has been costing them too long. Client intake falling through the cracks, scheduling that runs through the owner, reporting that doesn't exist without pulling it manually. We take the one system that matters most and build it completely in 30 days.
- Discovery call to identify the highest-impact system
- Scoped proposal with exact deliverables before any work begins
- Build and implementation in your live operation
- Documentation and team training at handoff
- 30-day focused sprint with one clear deliverable
This is for you if: You've identified what's broken, or completed an Audit, and you're ready to actually fix it. You want a real deliverable, not a strategy deck.
Growing a Portland business without growing the chaos requires more than one system. The Fractional Systems Partner engagement keeps building month over month, so the momentum from the first sprint carries through into the next one.
- Monthly 60-minute strategy and review call
- Async support via email between sessions
- One continued system build or improvement
- Access to all templates and tools built during the engagement
- Priority booking for additional Sprint work at a reduced rate
This is for you if: You completed a Sprint and want to keep building. You want a partner in your corner every month without the overhead of a full-time hire.
