HYXA / Services

We design the brand, then we make the business behind it work.

Twelve services across three levers. Most clients start with one audit and end up rebuilding the offer, the customer path and the way the team sells.

First the truth. Then the plan. Then the invoice.

The audit that tells you what is really going on in your company.

Most owners know something is wrong. Few know exactly where. We come in from the outside, go through your business as your customer does — and sometimes as your most difficult customer does — and put it in writing. Then you decide what to do with it.

1

Snapshot

7–10 days

For: "I know something is not working, but I cannot name it."

The outside view: what the market sees, what the customer goes through and where they give up before paying.

  • Mystery shopper: one contact by phone, email and form
  • First impression: website, Google profile, social media
  • Reviews and what customers actually complain about
  • The buying path walked end to end
  • Written report with the 10 biggest leaks
  • 60-minute call to go through it
OutcomeYou get: a ranked list of what is costing you money right now.

2

Deep scan

3–4 weeks

For: "We are busy, we sell — and there is still nothing left at the end of the month."

Everything from level one, plus the inside: processes, offer, prices, people and the standards they work to.

  • Demanding-customer test: how your team handles pressure
  • Interviews with the people at the point of contact
  • Process map with bottlenecks and leaks
  • Offer and pricing architecture review
  • Employee engagement and internal communication check
  • Customer journey map with the drop-off points
  • 90-day action plan with owners and estimated impact
OutcomeYou get: the diagnosis, the numbers behind it and the order in which to fix things.

Reset

3–12 months

For: "We know what is wrong. We need someone to walk it through with us."

The audit becomes a rebuild: we implement with your team, train them and stay until the numbers move.

  • Everything from level two
  • New offer, pricing logic and sales path
  • Written standards, scripts and instructions
  • Training: marketing basics, sales, service, brand
  • Bonus, commission and delegation systems
  • Support in recruiting salespeople, managers and leaders
  • Campaigns planned by us, delivered with specialist partners
  • Monthly measurement against the baseline
OutcomeYou get: a company that works differently — and a team that knows why.

One warning, up front: sometimes the answer is not the market, the team or the budget. Sometimes it is the owner. If you want us to say it out loud, we will — and then we will help you change it.

Pick and mix

Six ways we look at your business from the outside

Every one of them is agreed with you in advance. Take one, take all six — and the sixth one you write yourself.

01

Incognito customer

We contact you like any other customer: the form, the phone, the shop floor. We measure response time, tone, questions asked, follow-up — and whether anyone actually tried to sell.

Recording, transcript and a timeline of the whole contact

02

Demanding customer

Then we come back as the difficult one: a complaint, pressure, a request outside the standard. That is where you find out what your team really does when the owner is not watching.

A map of where improvisation replaced the standard

03

Competitor benchmark

We go through the same buying path at three of your competitors, on the same day, with the same enquiry. Then we put the three experiences next to yours, side by side.

A comparison table: price, speed, tone, what they did better

04

The team speaks first

Anonymous, structured conversations with the people at the point of contact. They usually know exactly what is broken — nobody has ever asked them in a way that felt safe.

What the team would change first, without names attached

05

The lost-customer call

With your consent, we call people who asked for a quote and never came back. One question: what made you choose someone else? It is the cheapest market research there is, and almost nobody does it.

The real reason you lose deals — in their words

06

The open sixth — your call

Some things do not fit a ready-made test, and they are usually the ones costing the most. A partner who stopped pulling in the same direction. A manager everyone quietly avoids. A department that has "always done it this way". Name it in one line and we will design the sixth test around it — we do not flinch at difficult subjects, we just handle them carefully and in writing.

A test built around your question — and an answer you can act on

Goes straight into your brief. Nobody else sees it, and the NDA covers it from the first word.

All tests are agreed with the owner in advance and reported without naming people for punishment. We look for gaps in the system, not for someone to fire. Recordings stay with you and are covered by the NDA.

Not sure which level?

Answer six questions in the brief. We will tell you which level makes sense — and if none of them does, we will say that too.

Straight talk

What we do — and what we honestly pass on

We are not an agency that does everything. We diagnose, plan, teach and supervise quality. Execution in specialist areas goes to partners we trust, and we tell you what it costs.

We do this ourselves

  • Three-level business audit, incognito and demanding-customer tests
  • Brand perception research and repositioning
  • Offer architecture, pricing logic and sales paths
  • Website and customer-experience audits
  • Process design, standards, scripts and instructions
  • Training: marketing basics, sales, service and brand
  • Engagement, bonus, commission and delegation systems
  • Support in recruiting salespeople, managers and leaders
  • Campaign planning, PR direction and results monitoring
  • Google Business set-up and the review system

This we hand to specialists

  • SEO and technical positioning
  • Day-to-day running of social media profiles
  • Large-scale media buying
  • Bookkeeping, legal and tax advice
  • Software development beyond websites and shops

We recommend the partner, agree the brief, check the work and stay responsible for the result in front of you. No hidden mark-up, no quiet commissions you do not know about.

Audit

Not sure where the money leaks out?

Start with the business potential audit — a structured look at everything between a first impression and a repeat purchase.

01

Brand & perception

What the market actually thinks you are, and what that belief costs you in every negotiation.

02

Offer & pricing

Whether what you sell is understandable, complete, and priced to reward the bigger decision.

03

Customer path

Where people hesitate, ask, wait — and where they quietly give up before paying.

04

Processes & cost

Which steps produce nothing, which depend on one person, and what that fragility costs.

05

Team & standards

Whether the people at the point of contact know the offer, the standard and the answer.

What stays behind

What is still in your company a month after we leave

A project with us does not end with a presentation. It ends with things your team can pick up and use on Monday. Below is the typical range — each card says what usually hurts, and what you physically get in return.

01

Logo and identity system

Usually hurts: Three versions of the logo, four shades of the same colour, and a different look in every channel.

One mark in every format, a colour and typography set, templates and a short manual anyone can follow.

02

Website and online store

Usually hurts: The site looks fine but sells nothing, nobody knows how to update it and the phone number is still the old one.

A fast, mobile, secure site you can edit yourselves — with the enquiry path designed before the first pixel.

03

Vehicle branding

Usually hurts: Vans drive 25,000 km a year and say nothing. The cheapest advertising space you own is blank.

Print-ready fleet graphics, a fitter briefed and booked, and the same look on every vehicle you buy next.

04

Branded workwear

Usually hurts: The team turns up in whatever they own, and the customer cannot tell staff from strangers.

Embroidered shirts, polos and jackets with sizing, supplier and reorder details — so the next hire is dressed on day one.

05

Signage and shopfronts

Usually hurts: People drive past the building because nothing tells them you are open, or what you actually do.

Signage, window graphics, boards and flags — designed, measured, quoted and installed.

06

Company documents and print

Usually hurts: The quote you send looks worse than the job you do. Every document comes from a different decade.

Offer, invoice, contract and presentation templates in your brand — editable, consistent and ready to send.

07

CRM and internal systems

Usually hurts: Enquiries live in three inboxes, two spreadsheets and one person’s head. When that person is off, the week stops.

One system chosen for your size, configured with your stages, your data imported and your team trained in it.

08

Automation

Usually hurts: Somebody retypes the same data three times a day and calls it "just how it works here".

The repetitive steps connected end to end, with a written record of what runs, when, and who to call if it stops.

09

Brand film and photography

Usually hurts: You explain the business better in five minutes over coffee than your whole website does in five pages.

A three-minute film, short cuts for social, and a photo library of real people — yours to use anywhere, forever.

10

Team training and scripts

Usually hurts: Every person answers the same question differently, and the best answer leaves when that person does.

Written scripts for enquiries, objections and complaints, a workshop to embed them, and a one-page onboarding sheet.

11

Strategy on one page

Usually hurts: There is a plan, but it lives in the owner’s head and changes depending on the week.

One printed page: where the business goes, in what order, who owns what and how you will know it worked.

12

Offer and pricing model

Usually hurts: Busy all year, thin at the end of it. Prices were set once and never recalculated.

Your offer rebuilt into packages with the margin calculated, plus a price list you can defend out loud.

Client names stay out of it — every project is covered by a mutual NDA. What we can show you, we show live in the first conversation.

Ways of working

Three ways to pay us. Option two puts our money at risk.

We would rather earn with you than invoice you. The model is agreed before the work starts, in writing, with the scope and the measurement attached.

Option 1

Paid for the hours

The simplest one. A rate, a scope and a log of what was done. You give us a specific task — an audit, a workshop, training, a campaign plan. And if you do not know what to order yet, fill in the brief: six questions, and we will tell you what we would do first.

  • Clear hourly or daily rate
  • Estimate before we start
  • Monthly log of work done
  • Stop or pause at any point
Fill in the brief
Option 2

Paid from the profit

We agree a baseline, implement the changes, and take an agreed share of the improvement they produce. If nothing improves, there is nothing to share.

  • Baseline agreed and measured upfront
  • Share of the uplift, not of turnover
  • Defined period and cap
  • Open reporting both ways
Option 3

Paid in equity

For businesses we believe in and want to build with long term. We take a minority stake instead of part of the fee — and we stay on the inside, where the decisions are made.

  • Minority stake, agreed by contract
  • Defined scope of our involvement
  • Vesting tied to milestones
  • Exit terms written from day one
4★

Start-ups — our favourite kind of partnership: everything from zero

Starting from nothing is the work we enjoy most. Brand, offer, first customers, first processes, first hires — built together, usually for a smaller fee plus an agreed share, so we grow when you do. We have been doing exactly that for ourselves since 2009, which is why we know how expensive it is to learn it the hard way.

  • Smaller fee, agreed share of what we build
  • Brand, offer and first sales path from scratch
  • Help with the first hires and the first processes
  • Access to our partners, clients and network
Tell us about the idea

Profit-share and equity arrangements are agreed individually and put in writing. Our lawyers and accountants prepare our side, yours review and confirm theirs — nothing is signed until both sides are comfortable. That is how we like to work: transparently, on paper, with no surprises later.

How we work

Listen, diagnose, plan, implement — then connect.

01

Listen

Your goals, your numbers and the thing nobody in the company says out loud.

02

Diagnose

We walk the customer path and the internal process ourselves, and find the leaks.

03

Plan

Brand, offer, process, sales path — rebuilt in the order that pays back fastest.

04

Implement

With your team, not as a PDF: standards written, people trained, materials and instructions delivered.

05

Measure

Against the baseline we agreed. If we are paid from profit, this is also our invoice.

06

Connect

Partners, clients and people from our network — we build a community around our clients, because cooperation simply pays.

Most of our clients come through a recommendation. We take on a limited number of projects at a time, because this work only makes sense when we are properly inside the business — so if we cannot start straight away, we will tell you honestly when we can.

Fill out the form and we will get back to you as soon as possible. A sentence about what is not working is enough to start.

Brand DNA

Your brand has a personality whether you designed it or not.

Carl Jung (1875–1961) described recurring character patterns in stories and in people. The twelve-archetype model used in branding was popularised later, mainly by Mark and Pearson. We use it for one practical reason: a brand that behaves like one clear character is remembered, and one that behaves like four is not.

The alignment that decides everything

Owner archetype

How you actually make decisions, hire, argue and sell. This one is not a choice — it is already there.

Brand archetype

The character the company plays in public: tone, look, promise, the way it handles a complaint.

Customer archetype

Who feels understood by that character — and who quietly decides you are not for them.

When the three line up, selling gets easier and marketing gets cheaper. When they do not, you end up paying for ads that argue with your own reception desk.

Our own mix, since you will ask

We ran the exercise on ourselves first. This is the result — and it explains a lot about how we work.

The Magician50%

We turn a mess into a working system. What looks like magic from the outside is usually a process somebody finally wrote down.

The Sage30%

We explain before we change. You should never have to make a decision without understanding why.

The Explorer20%

New markets, new tools, new countries. We are usually the first in the room to have tried the thing.

Plus a strong streak of the Creator

Because none of it matters until something actually exists — a logo, a script, a price list, a van, a trained team.

HYXA DNA Audit

A short, structured session in which we name your owner archetype, the archetype your brand is currently performing, and the one your best customers respond to — then we show you the gaps and what to do about them first.

  • Owner, brand and customer archetypes named and compared
  • Where your communication contradicts your own behaviour
  • Tone, visual direction and service standards that fit the real you
  • A one-page character brief your team can actually follow

It is part of the Deep scan audit, and it can be run on its own.
