Partner network
Outside experts who already speak your language
Included with every pricing level. These are outside services that understand the Bison Rise methodology and how The Other Toolbox works — so when you need help getting to the next level, you’re not starting from scratch.
CPA / Tax Advisor
Financial and tax guidance aligned with how specialty trade businesses actually run.
HR Services — Insperity
People, payroll, and HR support for shops that need structure without losing speed.
Marketing Consulting
Help that grows the right work — not just more of the work that’s bleeding profit.
Financial Services
Capital and financial tools when growth needs more than grit and cash flow hope.
SOP Software
Systems and process tools so the shop runs the playbook — not tribal knowledge.
Same partner access for Standard and Founders Club. More services will be added as the network grows.
Optional add-on
When you want us in the room
Buy consulting hours as you need them — remote for now. Requires an active $197/month subscription, because the consultant works with you inside The Other Toolbox. On-site is planned later as demand grows; it is not offered at this time.
Ad-hoc
$375 / hr
1 hour minimum
Book when you're stuck or want a sharper set of eyes. Sessions are one hour minimum and cannot be split into two 30-minute calls.
How hours work:
Requires an active $197/month subscription. Minimum booking is 1 hour. Hours do not expire. Remote only for now, in-person and on-site support will open later.
Questions
What owners usually ask
What’s the difference between Standard and Founders Club?
Same full system. Founders Club is the introductory price for the first 15 businesses — $5,900 instead of $9,500 — and those early owners help shape what comes next.
When does the $197 monthly fee start?
Month 4. Your first three months of The Other Toolbox are included in the initial enrollment payment — same for Standard and Founders Club.
How many people can use the toolbox?
Three licenses are included with the $197 monthly fee. Additional users are $20 each per month.
Is consulting required?
No. Enrollment stands on its own. Consulting hours are optional when you want a Bison Rise consultant working with you directly.
Do I need the monthly subscription to buy consulting hours?
Yes. Consulting hours require an active $197/month subscription because the consultant works directly with you and The Other Toolbox.
Can I book a 30-minute consulting call?
No. The minimum is one full hour. Hours cannot be split into two half-hour sessions.
Do consulting hours expire?
No. Hours do not expire.
Do you come on-site?
Not at this time. Consulting is remote. On-site services are planned for later as demand increases.
What if we have multiple locations?
2–5 locations receive an additional 15% discount on enrollment. More than 5 locations — call for a quote.
What’s included in the partner network?
Access to outside partners who understand our methodology — including CPA / tax advisory, HR services (Insperity), marketing consulting, financial services, and SOP software. It applies to all pricing levels, and more partners will be added over time.
