Reinventing 

This isn’t your typical business program, and that’s exactly why it works. It challenges the way you think, pushes you out of your comfort zone, and makes you question everything you thought you knew about running a business. 

 ....they were exactly what I needed after 30 years in business.

If you’re looking for fluff and reassurance, this isn’t it. But if you’re ready for a shake-up that actually delivers, Headswitch is the real deal. 

S. Honey Lowe, Founder

Scalable growth

After 30 successful years, my business was bursting at the seams, and Leanne is helping me create a truly self managing business. I'm excited about the future and I am grateful she has been there to support me through the challenges.

John Haines, Founder

Are you a service business owner, entrepreneur or aspiring founder?

Hi, I'm Leanne knowles, founder and chief strategist for Headswitch, and I'm here to help.

Do you face any of these common issues I come across with our clients?

  • You’re looking for a profitable opportunity.
  • You want more customers and steadier cash flow, but you need a reliable system.
  • You want growth without the burnout, and a system you can trust.
  • You want digital and AI to supercharge your business, but it feels difficult.

From self-employed, side gig, or frustrated service business owner to a thriving, scalable business that can grow beyond you

The 6cs of Service Freedom, is our simple approach to strengthen six core growth drivers. These functional outcomes are baked into everything we do.

Here's how it works:

  1. Commercial opportunity: A system to find your best fit opportunity with strong profit and scaling potential
  2. Customers: A system to better attract new buyers and increase sales without discounting
  3. Cash flow: A system to sell repeatable value, stronger cash flow and recurring revenue
  4. Capacity: Use digital, automation and AI to increase what the business can sell, deliver and manage.
  5. Capital: A system to make your business more valuable to buyers, investors and yourself, whether your sell or not
  6. Choice: A self-managing business system that gives you more confidence, control and freedom to let go

It’s time to build a business that works for you.

The problem we're solving

Service business has been missing out on the economic benefits and scalability of product eCommerce. Getting to service business freedom has always been tough.

  • 88% of all businesses employ 0-4 people. 
  • If they're making money, they're stuck.
  • If they're not making money, they're stuck.

The traditional service model has a serious glitch in it:

  1. You are the product: your time, skills, and energy are what’s on offer.
  2. Capacity is capped by the clock: You can only serve so many people in a day.
  3. Selling the invisible: Value is subjective and often underestimated.
  4. Often tied to location, experience, season or foot traffic.
  5. Creativity doesn’t come in bulk: Its time-consuming to deliver and relies on your magic.
  6. Pricing pressure from amateurs and DIY culture
  7. Word-of-mouth doesn’t scale fast and referrals are unreliable
  8. No built-in margin for mistakes: Unlike product eCommerce, you can’t recover with volume.
  9. Exit blindness: The old model assumes you’ll always be there.
  10.  Burnout is a business risk, its real and you're carrying the load.

That's why we created The Service eCommerce System. It's a service business model for the age of AI and digital.

10,000 business owners set free

Headswitch is on a mission to see 10,000 business owners set free. 

But what does that even mean....? 

There's two types of freedom: 

  • (1) How you feel
  • (2) The structure that supports it

They both work together for success.

Here's the structure bit:

  1. General Manager in place: Operations run without the founder.
  2.  Predictable cash flow: Demand, cash flow and profitability is predictable.
  3. Resilient business: The business has cash in the bank for a 6 months disruption.
  4. Team and Systems: A capable team is accountable and running the system.
  5. The freedom to choose: The founder can take a 6-12 week holiday, and has real choice about how they spend their time.

We start with the structure and cover the feelings stuff deeper into our work, if and when you're ready.

We created The Service eCommerce Formula to explain the structure. The next section breaks it down.

The Service eCommerce Formula

Service eCommerce is doing business online for services, so you can systemise your services, build a scalable business, and ultimately choose how you spend your time.  Here's the simple formula for success.

Your method +

This is your unique way of solving the customer's problem. It captures your knowledge, process, tools and thinking, so your service can become a system instead of a job.

Digital delivery +

This is where you unpack your service delivery into modular pieces to be reorganised and systemised. Now more of your service can be delegated and automated, to free up your time.

AI power +

AI adds speed and value to the system. It helps you personalise the customer journey, reduce manual work, improve decisions and make the business easier to run without becoming soulless.

Personal service 

Your personal touch is the human layer that builds trust, guides customers and creates premium value through services, creative work, events, advisory, or done-for-you support.

Here's how you build your system

The formula is part of The Service eCommerce System, the business building system that:

  • Guides decision making
  • Reduces complexity
  • Give you a personalised strategy roadmap.

Simple! We did the hard work, so you don't have to.

The system is made up of two parts.

  1. Setting it up
  2. Scaling it up

Six milestones

We chunk it down into bite sized pieces, to help you stay on track.

  1. FounderROI: (Choice)
  2. Business Foundations: (Commercial opportunity)
  3. Service eCommerce: (The formula)
  4. Scalable Growth Model: (Customers and cash flow)
  5. Self-managing Team: (Capacity and capital)
  6. Expansion or Exit: (Freedom)

Each milestone covers one key focus area in a step by step process. Now you have a roadmap to your version of success.

Built by a business maverick who’s walked the talk. 

Leanne built and sold two service and manufacturing businesses before 35, and went on to:

She’s not here to give you theory. She’s here to give you everything that works.

How we're different...

Headswitch is not your typical business strategist. 

While everyone else is selling services the old-school way, and keeping you stuck while you trade time for money, spending more on marketing, and drow in delivery, we flip the script.

The Service eCommerce System bottles your brilliance, and turns it into products and services that sell, scale, and deliver without you.

No hustle. No hamster wheel. Just a business that pays you back in freedom, not stress.

Full business cycle

I wanted to start a business, but it felt like there were hurdles at every turn. Leanne stood beside me as I solved each problem, one by one. It took off out of the gates and 15 years later I sold the business for the right price. There's even more potential for growth for the new team taking over. It wouldn't have happened without Leanne's support.

Getting started

Software Engineer at Apple

Leanne Knowles asked me once what I wanted to do with my life, and I answered, 'In a few years, I want to...'. And then she asked me, 'Why not today?'. Epic question. Epic lesson.

Seasoned entrepreneur

 

In a short period of time Leanne achieved great results with respect to the management structure of our business. An excellent coach that was driven and dedicated to getting the best out of our management team. Thanks Leanne!
