Sleep Consultants face unique challenges: 2-week intensive packages with daily check-ins = uneven daily workload. Weekend cliff — parents need help Saturday and Sunday mornings. Confidentiality with infant photos and home video recordings. "Non-cry" vs "cry-it-out" methodology — clients split on approach. Refund requests when the baby doesn't sleep on the timeline. On top of all that, HoneyBook charges $39/month ($468/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median sleep consultant earns $42,000/year. Software at $468/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Client intake forms (sleep history, schedule, nursery photo) is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.
HoneyBook is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?
