Ilya Balobanov Owner-operator · B2B since 2009

Sheet 1 · practitioner, not a consultant

Ilya Balobanov More to do, and still only 24 hours in a day

It used to be enough to work on the business every day to stay ahead. Not anymore. I am an owner-operator like you: a building-materials trading company of my own, and since 2009 the dealer network I have been building for a manufacturing group. AI agents already run inside my own operations, and I show it here as it is: what worked, what did not, and what it cost. If you want to talk, write to me: I read every message myself.

Section 4 · working together

If this sounds like you

Calls, meetings and urgent questions all day. More tasks in the evening than in the morning. Growth keeps being postponed, and competitors do not wait. Write to me about your situation: a few lines about the business and what eats your time is enough. I read every message myself and reply within two business days.

Your situation, reviewed

A few lines by email. I read them personally

Code in the open

Agents and workflows as repositories on GitHub
