Introducing Arc Systems: Our New Service for Service-Based Businesses
After 6 years of helping speakers optimize their business operations through Speaker Concierge, I've noticed something.
The challenges speakers face—managing inquiries, sending contracts, tracking clients, handling payments—aren't unique to speakers.
Service-based business owners everywhere are dealing with the same struggles:
- Inquiries sitting in their inbox for days because they're too busy with client work
- Leads falling through the cracks because follow-ups are manual
- Spending nights and weekends "catching up" on admin tasks
- Working IN their business instead of ON their business
I've heard it from photographers, event planners, nanny agency owners, consultants, and dozens of other service providers.
So I decided to do something about it.
What Is Arc Systems?
Arc Systems is our specialized service that builds custom 17hats workflows for service-based businesses.
Think of it as the "systems division" of what we do at Speaker Concierge—same quality and attention to detail, but focused specifically on workflow automation for any service business with a multi-step client process.
What Does It Do?
Arc Systems automates everything from the moment someone inquires about your services to the moment they pay their final invoice:
**Instant inquiry responses** (even when you're with clients)
**Automated follow-up sequences** (nothing falls through the cracks)
**Digital contracts sent automatically** (no more manual creation)
**Payment reminders on autopilot** (no more chasing invoices)
**Complete pipeline visibility** (see every client at a glance)
The result? Most clients get back 10-15 hours per week.
Why 17hats?
After evaluating dozens of tools, 17hats emerged as the best all-in-one solution for service businesses. It's powerful enough to handle complex workflows but priced reasonably enough that it makes sense for businesses of all sizes. Plus, it's what I've mastered.
Rather than being mediocre at ten tools, I chose to become exceptional at one.
Who Is This For?
Arc Systems is perfect for:
- Nanny agencies managing placements and families
- Photographers juggling sessions and deliverables
- Event planners coordinating multiple events
- Home stagers and interior designers managing projects
- Consultants tracking client engagements
- Any service business where admin work is overwhelming actual client work
If you're spending 5+ hours per week on admin tasks, Arc Systems can help.
How Speaker Concierge and Arc Systems Work Together
Speaker Concierge isn't going anywhere. I'm still supporting speakers with their business operations.
Arc Systems is simply an expansion—a specialized offering for a broader market that needs the same systematic approach. Think of it this way:
**Speaker Concierge** = Specialized support for speakers
**Arc Systems** = Specialized workflow automation for service businesses
Both operate under the same philosophy: Your business should work for you, not the other way around.
