What We Do

What we do

Gray Consulting Group LLC is a founder-led partnerships firm. We build relationships between established companies and the buyers, partners, and channels that can pay them — or grow them.

Data Partnership Introductions

We introduce qualifying companies to Mode Inc and its AI buyer network, which acquires business communication and behavioral data — Slack channels, emails, support conversations, and more.

No personal information is included.

Companies are paid $100,000 to $5,000,000 depending on the size and quality of their data.

Strategic Partnerships

We broker and manage partnerships between businesses that belong together — identifying the right counterpart, structuring the deal, and staying involved until it works.

Business Development

Hands-on growth work for owners: opening new channels, structuring referral relationships, and turning introductions into revenue.

How It Works

How a data deal works

Four steps, founder-led from the first call to the signed agreement. Most owners are surprised at two things: how simple the process is, and how much their data is worth.

01

Discovery call

A short conversation about your company — team size, how long you’ve been in business, and the tools your team uses every day.

02

Valuation

We take your numbers to the buyer’s pricing team. They assess your data volume — messages, emails, support tickets — and come back with a range.

03

Offer & agreement

If the number works, you sign a data agreement that spells out exactly what is included: business communications only. No personal information, ever.

04

Secure transfer & payment

The data is transferred securely under the agreement, and your company gets paid. We stay involved through transfer and payment.

Who Qualifies

Who qualifies

Buyers are looking for real operating businesses with real teams. Here is the honest picture of what fits — and what doesn’t.

Strong fit

  • 10 or more office-based, full-time employees communicating daily with customers
  • 3 or more years in business with an established track record
  • Modern tools in daily use — Slack, email, a CRM, a help desk, recorded calls
  • Documented workflows — your team’s problem-solving is captured in writing and recordings
  • English-language records across your main communication channels

Not a fit

  • Fewer than 10 office-based W-2 employees, or a mostly 1099 / contractor workforce
  • Primarily field crews with little or no back-office operation
  • Less than 3 years in business
  • No documented workflows or modern software tools in place
  • Restaurants and hospitality venues without a substantial back office

Industries buyers ask for most

If your company is on this list and your team lives in email, chat, and support tools all day, it is worth a conversation.

The firm is founder-led. When you call, you talk to the owner — not a call center, not a junior rep working a quota. Mark Rodriguez brings straight answers, real introductions, and follow-through until the deal is done.

FAQ

Questions owners ask

What data are buyers actually paying for?

Business communication and behavioral data: the Slack channels, emails, support conversations, and call recordings that show how your team solves customer problems. Buyers use it to train AI systems. The more your team communicates in writing, the more valuable it is.

Is any personal information involved?

No. Data deals cover business communications about customer solutions and troubleshooting. Personal information — names, personal emails, health or financial details — is never included.

How much is my company’s data worth?

Qualifying companies are paid between $100,000 and $5,000,000. The number depends on your team size, data volume, history, and the tools you use. The only way to know yours is a valuation.

Will this disrupt my business?

No. Your team keeps working exactly as it does today, in the same tools. The data already exists; a data deal simply puts a value on it.

What does it cost to find out?

Nothing. The discovery call and the initial review cost you nothing, and there is no obligation. If the number doesn’t work, you walk away.

Who is Mode Inc?

Mode Inc acquires business data on behalf of AI companies training next-generation systems. Gray Consulting Group is an independent referral partner of Mode Inc.
