What is Erase Friction?

The concept of Erase Friction arose when Conkle, who has spent 17 years building and scaling businesses, realized a need to “erase the friction” of running a business: the endless manual handoffs, the wasted hours on work that should be automatic and the marketing that stays on the back-burner.

With the help of Conkle on operations and strategy, and Tosin Alli, the engineer who builds what solves your business’ problems, you aren’t dealing with account managers or handoffs. You’re working with real people who are invested in finding out where your business is losing time and money.

Here’s where friction commonly shows up, according to Conkle:

• Manual hand-offs: Moving data from a CRM to a spreadsheet to a project tool, every single day.
• Document overload: Spending hours processing PDFs, extracting data + filing it away manually.
• Disjointed systems: Using 5 different SaaS tools that refuse to connect to each other properly.
• A website that doesn’t earn: It looks fine, but it ranks nowhere, and the form stays empty.
• Social that went quiet: Infrequent posts because everyone’s too busy to keep up.
• Blog posts with no plan: Published whenever someone has a spare hour, with no clear purpose or results.

Now, check out how Erase Friction fixes these issues:

• They map how work actually moves through your business + identify where you’re losing time, money + leads.
• Their team will recommend a specific solution—automation, software, a website or all 3—and estimate the potential return.
• Then, they build it, train your team + make sure it works long-term.
