What I install

Three systems. Installed and left running.

I built these same systems to run business development from scratch. Now I build them inside your business, around how you already work.

Lead Gen and Outreach Engine

A prospect list built for your market, outreach that sounds like you wrote it, and follow-up that does not depend on your memory.

Content Engine

A repeatable LinkedIn and social routine you can run in under two hours a week. Your name stays in front of buyers while you work the jobs.

Proposal and Contract Workflow

Proposals and quotes drafted in minutes, plus a first-pass review of every contract before you sign it.

See it in action

Click through a sample sales pipeline for a 12-person contractor. Every lead has a stage and a next step, and quiet leads get flagged before they go cold.

Ways to work together

Eight lanes. One operator.

Lane 1 · Strongest

EV charging deployment

Site deployment program management. Site control through O&M handoff, built around interconnection and long-lead equipment.

Utility interconnection strategy. Transformer timelines, application sequencing, and schedules worked backward from power-on.

Capital stack and incentives. Funding locked before notice to proceed. Net cost after incentives. Tax counsel confirms the rules.

Deployment economics. Cost models that protect the four budget-movers: chargers, canopy, transformer, and network.

Contract risk review. CPO, EPC and host agreements: indemnity, SLAs, flow-downs. Your attorney finalizes.

EPC and vendor vetting. Counterparty risk, financing entanglements, and an exit plan.

Lane 2

Commercial and strategy

Host-account business development. Retail and auto-retail. Territory maps, competitive intel, and hit lists.

Fleet and commercial electrification. From the manufacturer side of the table.

Portfolio readiness and exit prep. Data rooms, rollup reporting, and buyer diligence.

Executive presentations. Leadership-ready reporting that holds up in the room.

Lane 3 · In demand

AI and operations

AI workflow automation. Task mapping, daily workflows, and AI agents for auto repair shops, electrical contractors, and similar trades.

Front office for independent auto repair and electrical shops. Estimates that sit all week, follow-up that never goes out, paperwork stacked at the counter: I set it up so none of it waits on you at closing time.

AI-powered energy audits. For homes and small commercial buildings.

Rapid prototypes and app builds. Trade-prep tools and similar.

AI Revenue Sprint coaching. The three systems above, installed in your business.

Lane 4

Authority and brand

Speaking and advisory. Electrification keynotes and panels.

Wrench-to-boardroom coaching. Career coaching for technicians moving into leadership, plus the book series.

Lane 5 · For authors

Series and publishing systems

Series canon setup. One source of truth and a log of every ruling, so a multi-book series stays consistent.

Continuity and fact-check gating. Each new chapter checked against your canon before it ships.

KDP manuscript build. Clean, navigable files for ebook and print, validated on every build.

AI-assisted writing workflow. Standing instructions and habits that keep AI accurate across a whole series.

Lane 6 · Florida dealers

AI for dealership owners

Inventory. Listing descriptions written in minutes, aging-unit reviews, and pricing and trade-in research you can repeat on every unit.

Dealership marketing. A content system you run in under 2 hours a week. Unit spotlights, social posts, review replies, and email to past customers, in your voice.

Sales and follow-up. Lead follow-up that actually goes out, quotes built from your own numbers, and fleet-buyer outreach that does not depend on your memory.

Operations and admin. First-pass review of contracts and paperwork, flagged for your attorney. Written SOPs, email drafts, and meeting notes.

On-site, one-on-one. For independent commercial dealer principals across Florida. I sit down with you, set it up on your own accounts, and train you to run it.

Lane 7 · For owners with no site

Open for Business

A live website on your own domain. Mobile-ready, with one clear way for customers to call, book, or ask for a quote.

Copy in your voice. Built from your own words, services and past jobs. You approve every line before it goes live.

A handoff you can run. A one-page procedure so you can update it yourself. You own the site, the domain and the accounts.

Three levels. Launch is one focused page. Grow is three to five pages. Scale adds a guided Google Business Profile setup and a 30-day check-in. Two weeks, two working sessions.

Lane 8 · For owners still doing all the selling

Fractional sales leadership

A sales leader, without the full-time hire. I run your sales function a set number of days a month. No six-month search, no added payroll.

Pipeline and forecast. A CRM you trust, a weekly pipeline review, and a forecast you can plan payroll around.

Sales process and proposals. Stages, scripts, follow-up and proposals, written down so deals stop living in one person's head.

Your reps, coached. Call reviews, ride-alongs and hiring help. Your team gets better while I'm there.

Key deals. I sit at the table on the big ones, from first call to signed PO.

Three months to start. Scope, days per month and price in writing. Then month to month.

Who you are hiring

An operator, not a theorist.

Kerry Cepero, Founder of Cepero Collective, in a navy suit in front of the company sign (AI-generated brand image)

I started as a mechanic, with 900 hours of formal automotive service and repair training at Apex Technical School. I ran multi-unit retail stores as a GM. Then I led sales and business development in commercial EV and electrification.

I talk margins, payroll and cash flow because I carried them. No jargon. No theory. Just what works when you have a full schedule and no marketing staff.

I work with startup, small and midsize business owners. Contractors, general contractors and EV-industry vendors are the people I know best.

I also completed Claude Academy's course, Introduction to Claude Cowork, and two Google courses through Coursera, Introduction to AI and Maximize Productivity With AI Tools.

Straight answers

Before you book.

What happens on the free call?

We meet on video for 30 minutes. You tell me where your week goes, and we find your three biggest time-sinks and what they cost you. If I can help, you get a written proposal. If not, I will say so.

Who is this for?

Startup, small and midsize business owners with no marketing or sales staff and too much admin. Contractors, general contractors, dealers and EV-industry vendors are the people I know best.

What does it cost?

The first 30 minutes cost nothing. After that, you get the scope and the price in writing. Nothing starts until you say yes.

Do I need to know AI or tech?

No. I build around how you already work and train you to run it yourself. No jargon.

Is the contract review legal advice?

No. It is a first-pass review that flags risks for your attorney. Your attorney finalizes.

For people who serve small business

Join the Collective.

Small business owners do not need another vendor. They need a few people they can trust. I am building a network of professionals who serve small business, and AI and tech helpers, who work the same way: direct, honest and useful.

Who it is for

Accountants, bookkeepers, attorneys, insurance and banking professionals, and people who train owners or set up AI and software for them.

What it is

A trusted network. When an owner needs something outside my lane, I know who to call. When your client needs a website or help with AI, you know who to call.

How to join

Send a short note: who you are, who you serve, and what you do best. We will set up a 30-minute intro call to see if it is a fit.
