Tool stacks built around real goals
Not a list of tools — a working combination for a specific outcome, with the role each tool plays, what it costs, and the order to set it up in.
Not sure what you need yet? Start with a Stack Audit — it diagnoses where your time and money are going first.
All Business Stacks
Solo Consultant Growth System
Coach / Consultant
A streamlined software stack for solo and early-stage consultants looking to build a professional web presence, capture leads, automate prospect follow-up, book consultations and create marketing content.
What is a small-business tech stack?
A business tech stack is the combination of software used to run the business, with each product serving a clear role. Complementary tools support different parts of a workflow; buying more tools is not itself a strategy.
Start with the jobs and the data flow
Common categories include a website or sales platform, customer and email management, support, content production and operations automation. Not every business needs a separate subscription for each category. Map how an enquiry becomes a contact, a purchase or a support request, and decide which system owns each record. Check supported integrations, permissions, consent and the information passed between steps before relying on a connection.
Budget for usage, not just the entry price
Compare the total cost of the plans needed for your workflow, including seats, contacts, credits and renewal terms. Identify overlapping features and choose whether to consolidate or keep a specialist tool for a distinct need. Set a budget appropriate to your business; there is no required tool count or universal monthly spend.
Select a stack, then audit it as needs change
Start with the bottleneck and add a tool only when its role is clear. Check a small end-to-end workflow before expanding it, and assign responsibility for maintenance and failed connections. Review unused subscriptions and new needs periodically. The automation buying guide helps evaluate connections, while the AI tools collection provides task-based product choices.
A practical example: Solo Consultant Growth System
The Solo Consultant Growth System is a curated example organized around a consultant's needs. Inspect the role of each recommended tool and the setup roadmap, then compare those needs with your own business rather than assuming every recommendation fits every team.
