Start a Business Platform Migration Service (Helpdesk and Email Flows)

1. 1

   Specialize in named pairs

   Advertise exact routes, from platform A to platform B, for one helpdesk pair and one email marketing pair to start. Buyers search their specific route, and each pair has quirks (features that do not map one-to-one) you only learn by doing. Every completed route becomes a productized page with its own checklist and price.

2. 2

   Start every job with a logic census

   Export and catalog every macro, trigger, automation, segment, and flow on the source platform, flag which are actually firing (usage data kills zombie automations), and produce a migration map: rebuild, redesign, or retire, item by item. This audit is a paid deliverable on its own and converts nearly everyone into the full migration.

3. 3

   Rebuild natively, never emulate

   The temptation is to force the old platform's patterns onto the new one; the win is rebuilding each flow the way the destination platform wants it done, which usually simplifies. Document every rebuilt flow in plain language as you go, leaving the client with the automation documentation they never had.

4. 4

   Verify like a pessimist

   Parallel-run where possible, test every trigger with real scenarios, check the edge cases (what happens to a mid-sequence subscriber on cutover day), and hand over a verification log. Offer a thirty-day fix window. Migrations are referral businesses; the reputation is built in the verification stage.

5. 5

   Price fixed by complexity band

   Count automations and flows in the audit, band the price, and quote fixed so the buyer can approve it in one meeting. Fixed pricing rewards your growing speed; by the fifth migration on a route your playbook does half the work.

6. 6

   Fish where switchers gather

   Every platform's community forum has a weekly thinking of leaving thread, and the destination platforms themselves want switchers to succeed: get listed in their partner and expert directories, which hand you warm, pre-committed buyers. Agencies and fractional ops folks refer the jobs they do not want.
