Coaches, consultants, CREATIVES and service-based business owners…
You could be 90 days away from making more money in 10+ fewer hours per week.
No, the answer isn’t more marketing.
No hard pitch, just a conversation.
Does this sound like you?
BOOKED UP AND BURNT OUT
You hustled for years to get enough coaching clients to pay the bills, but now the client calls means that you don’t get to start the CEO part of your job until your brain’s already worn out. You’re playing professional whack-a-mole with your to do list, just to keep up.
SERVICE BUT NO SCALE
You feel ready to scale - more visibility, more clients, more content - but any time you try it feels like you’re just guessing. Marketing feels so far-reaching, you can’t figure out how to create content consistently that converts so it feels like you’re wasting time and money you could’ve been earning.
CRAVING CALM
You left the 9-5 but the dream of flexibility and time with your family somehow feels further away. Anytime you try to hire for help, you end up spending more time training them and save no time. You believe in what you deliver to clients, but you need to be able to do it without it absorbing your whole life.
The business that got you here is not going to get you there.
The skill it takes to build a successful service based business are not the same as to build scalable systems to run the business. Even if you have the skills, it takes strategy and tech proficiency that most busy service-based business owners don’t have TIME for.
ABOUT
Exhale Operations was founded by Samantha Pillsbury, inspired by her experience of running a small business for four years. She scaled it to six figures in 18 months, all while figuring out systems that allowed her to scale the business while still traveling and enjoying her life.
By her third year in business she realized she enjoyed the operations work more than anything else, but that the nerdy automations, dashboards and templates she loved building were her small business peers least favorite part.
And thus… Exhale was born. We support small business owners who want to build nimble, profitable businesses and still enjoy their life outside of work, by helping them build and run systems to get them back time and mental load.
"Don't wait as long as I did. Samantha made something that felt completely outside my wheelhouse feel organized, supported, and fully taken care of...She genuinely understands what matters to an entrepreneur."
— JUlia, 2026 clientIf you’ve ever felt like"I know I need to get more organized but I have no idea where to start…"
this is the conversation where you can finally take a breath.
FAQs
What happens on the call?
1
The call is an opportunity for us to discuss the specifics of your situation, what you feel like you need help with and your goals and then for us to talk about whether we’re a good fit to help that. If your situation meets our skill set, we can share more about what a project would look like and what results you can expect. Of course, there’s plenty of opportunity to ask questions. (And should go without saying, this is not a sleazy sales call where I spend the whole time trying to convince you to buy - I have no interest in convincing somebody to work with me who isn’t ready!)
DOES THE CALL COST MONEY? WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
2
No, this call is completely free - it’s an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for us to be able to provide a more comprehensive sense of how we might be able to help. You don’t need to prepare anything but the time will be more effective if you have questions ready and perhaps have glanced through your key analytics, to do list, and project management tool (if you have these things) to be fresh in your mind.
What happens after the call?
3
If you decide to move forward with us, we’ll send across a contract and payment link for you to sign up and then we’ll get you onboarded. We’re typically able to kick off new clients within 1-2 weeks (which means you could be seeing progress within a month from today)!
What if I get on the call and it’s not a good fit? How do I make sure I’m not wasting our time?
4
The whole point of these calls is to find out if it’s a good fit, so don’t worry about not being 100% sure. We’re here to answer questions and talk through it with you so you come to a decision you’re confident about. The only time someone would truly be wasting our time is if they already know they’re not willing to invest in outside support and are just looking for a way to get free advice… but we seriously doubt that’s you. If we chat through and it’s not a good fit, we can point you in the direction of resources that might be helpful or end the call early - no big deal!
