The longer broken systems stay in place, the more hours they drain from your team And the more revenue you leave on the table. --- 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐒 FMCG Company: 5 years flat revenue → EOS + Monday + Make overhaul → 25% revenue increase year one + founder reclaimed 20-30 hours weekly Sports Equipment: Manual order processing (hours per order) → Automated system handling VAT, contracts, invoicing → Orders done in under 10 minutes --- 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐂𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒 𝐒𝐀𝐘 "Haakon is like a dog with a bone when it comes to problem-solving and getting to the heart of a given project. Not only did he build a suite of complex Make automations for us, but he's also been 'chief troubleshooter' in ironing out bugs across our tech stack." "Excellent automation specialist. Highly recommended" "Always available. Went well above and beyond what was required and improved on the original brief in terms of functionality. Highly recommend." "More of the same from Haakon - a legend of the game on UpWork! True professional with deep knowledge across the stack. Cheers 👍" --- 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐈 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 Founders and operators whose growth is outpacing their systems—or who've hit a revenue ceiling. Pattern 1: Operations Breaking - Expanding, but operations feel chaotic - Team needs hand-holding to execute - Manual work multiplies with each client - Can't step away without fires starting Pattern 2: Acquisition Stuck - Manual outreach eating hours - CRM and tools don't communicate - Scaling means more people, not better systems Sound familiar? --- 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐈 𝐀𝐌 I'm Haakon Melhus—a former business consultant turned automation specialist. I kept seeing companies hit those two walls. The issue was never "we need automation." It was - "our systems can't scale" or - "why aren't we getting customers?" So I learned the full toolkit—Make, Zapier, n8n, Python, custom APIs—and built systems that solve the root problem, not just connect apps. I work across your existing stack—whatever actually solves the problem. --- 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈 𝐁𝐔𝐈𝐋𝐃 1. Client onboarding systems — Intake to delivery with zero manual handoffs 2. Smart project management — Auto-assignments, dependencies, triggers (ClickUp, Monday) 3. AI assistants and chatbots — Handle support, Q&A, sales ops autonomously 4. CRM and pipeline automation — Lead routing, follow-ups, deal tracking on autopilot 5. Outbound revenue systems — Automated lead scraping, enrichment, cold email sequences 6. Cross-platform integration — Connect everything, sync data, eliminate double-entry --- 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐈 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊 For clearly scoped projects: Fast execution. I dive in, build it, test it, document it, hand it off. For open-ended challenges: Diagnostic first. I audit your systems, find the bottleneck causing the most chaos, design the solution with your input, then build it. Either way: You own the system. You're not locked into me. --- 𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐂𝐊 Automation: Make, Zapier, n8n, REST APIs Project Management: ClickUp, Monday, Asana CRM: HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Pipedrive Outbound: Phantombuster, Apify, Apollo, Instantly AI: ChatGPT API, RAG chatbots, custom agents Code: Python, JavaScript --- 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐘 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄? Message me about what's breaking—what you've tried, what you need. I'll respond within hours. No pressure, just a real conversation about your systems. — Haakon 📌 𝐒𝐄𝐎 𝐊𝐞𝐲𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 (𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐈𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐞) AI automation expert | n8n specialist | n8n workflows | n8n integrations | n8n developer | Make expert | Make automation | Integromat specialist | Zapier integration | Zapier expert | business process automation | workflow automation | operations automation | intelligent automation systems | CRM automation | HubSpot automation | Salesforce integration | Monday automation | ClickUp automation | GoHighLevel setup | Pipedrive automation | marketing automation | lead generation automation | email automation | API integration | custom API development | webhook automation | REST API integration | AI chatbot development | AI agent builder | RAG chatbot | conversational AI | AI voice agent | voice automation | VAPI integration | custom AI agents | autonomous agents | chatbot automation | customer support automation | lead qualification bot | sales automation | pipeline automation | deal tracking automation | client onboarding automation
