Eliminate repetitive work, permanently.
n8n workflows, API integrations, data pipelines, and system orchestration. Built on the tools already in use — not another subscription.
Most automation work is plumbing.
A form on the site needs to talk to a CRM. The CRM needs to text a sales rep. The rep needs a calendar link in the same message. The whole chain needs to log somewhere so nobody loses a lead at 11pm on a Friday. None of it is glamorous. All of it costs hours every week when it’s missing.
Orange County Design builds that plumbing. On the tools already in use. With documentation a future operations hire can actually read.
Tools used
n8n · HubSpot · Zapier · Make · Airtable · Twilio · Google Workspace · Slack
The right tool depends on the build. n8n for self-hosted control and complex branching. Zapier or Make for fast-to-deploy connectors. Airtable for the data layer. Twilio for SMS. Whichever fits the project and the team running it.
Common builds
A few of the productized builds Orange County Design ships most often. Each is “starting at” — final scope adjusts the number depending on integration count and edge cases.
Lead Alert Kit — Starting at $850
The classic. A lead fills out the form. The CRM creates the record. The sales rep gets a text inside two minutes. A calendar link goes with it. The whole chain logs to a sheet so nobody loses a lead at 11pm on a Friday. Most setups take a week. Most cost recovery happens the month it ships.
Lead Router — Starting at $1,200
Round-robin + rules. For teams with more than one rep. Inbound leads land in a queue, get assigned by territory, vertical, deal-size, or fair-share rotation, and route to the right person automatically. No more “I thought you had it.” Includes a fairness audit so leads don’t pile up on one rep.
Quote-to-Cash — Starting at $1,750
The proposal-to-paid pipeline. Proposal accepted in the CRM → invoice generated → payment tracked → CRM record updated → revenue logged → finance sees it in the reporting layer same-day. Closes the gap most ops teams patch with a weekly spreadsheet.
Pipeline Warmer — Starting at $3,900
Multi-step nurture with engagement scoring. Drip campaigns that actually adjust based on behavior. Opens, clicks, replies, and site visits feed a score. Hot leads bubble up to a rep. Cold leads drop into a re-engagement track. Bought-and-stayed customers get a different sequence than churned-and-replaced. Additional cadences from $1,500 once the first one is live and learning.
Sales-Ops Infra Design — Starting at $15K (quote-gated)
For founders and early sales leaders building from zero. Calendly + Gmail + a spreadsheet isn’t going to carry the next ten hires. CRM selection + setup, pipeline stage definition with stage criteria, lead-source ingestion (forms, ads, manual), automation triggers and lead scoring, reporting dashboards, email + SMS templates and sequences, process documentation, and rep training. Four to eight weeks to a stack the team trusts on day one.
Sales-Ops Overhaul — Starting at $25K (quote-gated)
For VP Sales or Ops leaders inheriting a broken stack — messy CRM, conflicting automations, reports nobody trusts, duplicate contacts piling up. Starts with a paid audit (credited toward the build), then data cleanup and dedupe, stage redefinition with historical-data migration, tool consolidation or integration redesign, automation rebuild (kill the conflicts), reporting restoration, and a cutover plan coordinated around live deals. Six to twelve weeks. Change management is part of the deliverable — rep adoption is the failure mode, not the technology.
What’s included
Every automation build ships with:
- Audit of the current stack — free, on the discovery call. Often surfaces 2–3 quick wins before anything gets billed.
- Build and test in a sandbox — no breaking production while iterating.
- Documentation handed over so future-someone-else can read it. Architecture diagram + runbook + access notes.
- 14 days of post-launch tweaks free. Bugs found in the first two weeks are on Orange County Design.
How it works
- 15-minute audit call — surface the obvious pain points, scope the biggest-impact build first.
- Sandbox build — typically 1–3 weeks depending on scope. Weekly check-ins.
- Production cutover — staged switch with monitoring. No big-bang launches.
- Handoff with documentation — the team can run it without Orange County Design after the 14-day window.
A note on engagement type
Most automation work is delivered as fixed-fee builds or ongoing retainers. For advisory sessions, audits, and time-boxed consulting, the rate is $225/hr.
