The operator

Six plays. One operator.
Running your store.

These are the repeatable workflows that keep an ecommerce brand running. We don't sell secrets — but we don't publish the recipe either. Here's what each play covers and what you get.

Play 01

Email flows

Six flows, always running. We set them up, we write the copy, we watch the numbers.

Welcome series

Trigger: new subscriber. We write a 4-email sequence that introduces your brand, your best sellers, and why people buy from you. Not a template — your voice, your products.

  • 4 emails over 10 days
  • Written by us, in your voice
  • A/B tested subject lines

Cart recovery

Trigger: abandoned cart. Three emails with the actual items they left. Timed. Personalised. No "you forgot something" — the product, the price, a reason to come back.

  • 3-email sequence: 1hr, 24hr, 72hr
  • Dynamic product pull from your store
  • Optional incentive on email 3

Post-purchase

Trigger: order placed. Shipping updates, delivery confirmation, review request, and a cross-sell timed for when they're happiest with the product.

  • Shipping & delivery comms
  • Review collection at the right moment
  • One cross-sell, not a catalogue dump

Win-back

Trigger: no purchase in 90 days. We score every customer and run a re-engagement series for the ones worth saving. If they still don't open, we sunset them — protecting your sender reputation.

  • 90-day dormancy trigger
  • 2-email re-engagement
  • Auto-sunset for non-openers

Browse abandonment

Trigger: viewed product, didn't add to cart. A single email within 4 hours with the product they looked at. Low pressure, high intent.

  • Single email, data-conditional
  • Product image + price + link
  • Only fires if they don't purchase

Lifecycle campaigns

Beyond triggers: seasonal campaigns, product launches, VIP early access, replenishment reminders. Written monthly, against your calendar.

  • Monthly content calendar
  • Segmented by customer type
  • One campaign live at any time

RFM segmentation

Most stores treat every customer the same. We don't.

How we score

Every customer gets an RFM score: recency (when they last bought), frequency (how often), monetary (how much they spend). We segment into five tiers from VIPs to dormant.

What happens next

VIPs get early access and personal outreach. Loyal customers get cross-sells and bundles. At-risk get a retention offer. Dormant get a re-engagement or a sunset.

The report you get

Monthly RFM breakdown: who's in each tier, how it changed, what that means for revenue. One page, plain English.

Why it matters

Your top 10–15% of customers typically drive 40–50% of revenue. Treating them differently is the cheapest revenue lever in ecommerce.

Play 03

Support triage

Most tickets are the same five questions. We answer those. You keep the rest.

What gets auto-resolved

"Where's my order?" "How do I return this?" "What size should I get?" "When will it restock?" — trained on your catalogue, policies, and shipping rules.

What gets escalated

Anything involving money, complaints, or judgement. The agent drafts a reply for you. You review and send. You never lose control.

What you get

Weekly support digest: volume, resolution rate, common themes, what escalated and why. Charts, not paragraphs.

Numbers

Typically 60–70% of tickets resolve without a human. That's hours back every week for a store doing any real volume.

Play 04

Inventory intelligence

Inventory isn't an ops problem. It's a cash problem. Most stores buy too much of the wrong thing and run out of the right thing. We make inventory a financial lever, not a fire drill.

ABCD product segmentation

Standard ABC ranks products by revenue. We layer in order frequency, margin, and customer concentration — so you know which SKUs actually earn their shelf space and which are just taking up capital.

  • A-items: high velocity, high margin — protect at all costs
  • B-items: steady performers — monitor weekly
  • C-items: low velocity, niche — reduce holding
  • D-items: dead or dying — recover or write off

Stockout prevention

Stockouts lose sales — and in ecommerce, the customer just clicks the next tab. We track sell-through velocity per SKU and flag anything approaching a stockout before it hits zero.

  • Velocity-based thresholds, not gut feel
  • Reorder suggestions with supplier lead times
  • Priority alerts for A-items

Dead stock recovery

Products sitting 90+ days without movement are trapped cash. We surface them with a recommendation: discount, bundle, return to supplier, or write off. Then we track the recovery.

  • Auto-flagged at 90 days idle
  • Recovery recommendation per SKU
  • Monthly dead stock report with trend line

Supplier scorecard

Your suppliers directly impact your stock availability. We track lead time accuracy, fill rates, and cost trends per supplier — so you know who's reliable and who's slipping, without digging through purchase orders.

  • On-time % from actual performance
  • Lead time trends (getting better or worse?)
  • Cost-per-unit tracking over time

Play 05

SEO monitoring

Your store leaks rankings over time. We find where and tell you how to fix it.

Weekly crawl

We crawl your site every week: broken links, missing meta, slow pages, content gaps. We rank issues by impact so you fix what matters first.

Competitor watch

Three competitors, tracked monthly. What they're ranking for that you're not. What you're losing ground on.

Quick wins

Pages sitting on page 2 of Google for high-intent terms. Small fixes that can push them to page 1 — title tags, internal links, content gaps.

What you get

Monthly SEO report: what changed, what to fix, what's working. Prioritised. No jargon.

Play 06

Monthly board pack

You're the founder. You need the numbers, not a 40-page deck.

What's in it

Revenue, margin, email performance, support volume, inventory health, SEO position. One page. Delivered by the 3rd of every month.

Why it matters

Most founders don't look at their numbers until something breaks. The board pack gives you a monthly pulse check — what's working, what's slipping, what needs attention.

Charts, not paragraphs

Each KPI gets a sparkline showing the trend. You can read the whole thing in under two minutes and know whether the month was good or bad.

Your input

We ask one question before each pack: "Anything you want us to dig into this month?" If you want a deep dive on a specific channel or product line, it goes in.
