Questions owners bring

If it keeps you up at night, bring it.

No question is too big, too small or too messy. These are the kinds of decisions business owners work through with Pratik.

Should we hire, outsource or automate?Growth has stalled. What do we fix first?Where can AI save my team real hours this quarter?Are we charging enough for what we deliver?Which of these five ideas deserves our money?How do we stop everything depending on me?
Is it time to open a second location?How do we compete with cheaper, faster rivals?What should our website and systems actually do for us?Our processes live in people’s heads. Where do we start?Should we launch this new service or double down?How do we use our customer data without drowning in it?

What we work on

Four areas. One clear next move.

01

Direction & strategy

Too many priorities and not enough certainty? Get clear on the problem worth solving, the result you want and where your time and money should go.

  • Choosing between competing ideas
  • Offer, positioning and pricing
  • Planning the next 90 days
02

Operations & systems

Handovers, double handling and manual admin slow every team down. Find where it’s happening in yours and set up simpler ways of working people will actually use.

  • Mapping how work really flows
  • Making the business less reliant on you
  • Choosing tools and software
03

Growth & customers

Turn big growth goals into moves you can test. Who do you serve best, how do they find you, and what do you need in place before you scale?

  • New markets, services or locations
  • Customer experience and retention
  • Digital channels, website and apps
04

AI & modernisation

Customers buy differently now and teams work differently too. Find out where AI and automation will really help your business, and where they won’t.

  • Practical AI uses for your team
  • Automating repetitive work
  • A realistic plan to adopt it

Built for the AI era

Keep your business relevant without chasing every trend.

AI is changing how people search, buy and expect to be looked after. Most owners know they should do something about it, but not where to start or who to trust. Pratik helps you work out what’s worth doing and make changes that suit your business, your people and your budget.

Plan your AI next step
01

Find the real opportunities

Look at the tasks and bottlenecks where AI or automation could save your team hours. Start with the work you already do every week.

02

Adopt it safely

Think through privacy, customer data, accuracy and how your staff feel about it before any tool goes near your customers.

03

Modernise the foundations

Get your website, bookings, apps, CRM and reporting working together, so new tools have something solid to plug into.

04

Choose what fits

Compare practical options against your needs, costs and existing tools. Any implementation work is discussed separately from your session.

FAQ

Good questions before you book.

Something else on your mind? Ask it here. That’s the whole idea.

What can I ask about?

Anything that affects how your business runs or grows: strategy, pricing, operations, hiring, customers, marketing, technology, websites and apps, and how to use AI in a practical way. If your question is outside what Pratik can help with, he’ll tell you.

When and how is the session held?

Sessions are one-to-one with Pratik, Monday to Friday during Sydney business hours. Choose an online or in-person session, with the meeting details agreed beforehand. If you need a different time or arrangement, use the enquiry form to discuss it before booking.

What does it cost?

The 90-minute Strategy Session is $1,950 AUD including GST. Review your session details and booking terms before confirming payment. Any separate implementation or ongoing work is discussed and quoted separately.

Do I need to prepare anything?

You don’t need a business plan. After booking, complete the preparation questionnaire about your business, its background, pain points and your priorities. This gives Pratik time to prepare. Share only information you are authorised to provide; leave out passwords, card details and confidential customer records.

What if I need to change my booking?

With at least 48 hours’ notice, you can reschedule without a change fee or cancel for a full refund. With less than 48 hours’ notice, cancellation or rescheduling carries a charge of 50% of your session price. Any late-rescheduling payment is confirmed by you before the booking is moved. Review and accept the complete booking terms before payment.

Can I bring a business partner or team member?

Mention who you would like to attend in your enquiry or preparation questionnaire so Pratik can confirm the arrangement beforehand.

What happens after the session?

You’ll get a written summary of the priorities and actions you agreed on. If you’d like ongoing help, you can talk about that separately. There’s no obligation.

Is this financial, tax or legal advice?

No. AskPratik gives general business strategy and operations advice. For financial, investment, tax or legal advice, please speak with a qualified, licensed professional.
