Notion consultant for business owners and team leaders who want one place to run the work
I’m Chris Wray, a Notion consultant. I help business owners and team leaders set up Notion so it becomes a clear workspace for projects, clients, and knowledge, without building something that is hard to maintain.
I work internationally from London, Prague, Phnom Penh, and Rarotonga.
– 25+ years building practical systems
– 400+ businesses supported worldwide
– Clear approach, setup, training, and ongoing support
THE OLD WAY
If Notion feels like a blank canvas, you are not alone
Notion is powerful, but most people struggle with the same issues early on.
Common situations:
– You have pages everywhere, but no structure
– You start a CRM or project system, then it gets hard to keep updated
– The team is not sure where anything lives
– You cannot get clean reporting because databases are not linked well
– You want to use Notion AI, but you are not sure what is actually useful
The real cost: time lost searching, duplicated work, and a workspace people avoid.
THE NEW WAY
A Notion workspace that matches how your business runs
I build Notion systems that are simple to use daily, and structured so they can grow with you.
Notion Consultant – Using Notion for the first time
Notion Consultant – Notion Setup & Training
If you’re looking to bring Notion into your business, you’re in the right place. I help teams set up and actually use Notion in a way that makes sense – without the overwhelm.
Notion is a powerful tool, but it can feel like a blank canvas. Most people get stuck early, unsure where to begin or how to make it all work together. That’s where I come in.
I provide hands-on support for:
• Account and workspace setup
• Templates, dashboards and CRM systems
• Custom databases for projects, clients, or internal processes
• In-depth training for individuals and teams
We start by understanding what you’re trying to achieve, and then we map that into a Notion structure that actually reflects how your business runs – not just how the tool wants to work.
I’ve built systems in Notion for:
• HR and employee onboarding
• Client and project management
• Content calendars and marketing workflows
• Bug tracking and internal knowledge bases
• Product and Service Tracking
• Business Operating Systems in Notion
The real strength of Notion is in linking everything together. As a Notion Consultant I’ll show you how to connect data, streamline your workflows and make everything accessible in one place.
And it’s not just about building a clever setup – it’s about making sure your team understands it, can maintain it, and actually wants to use it.
Whether you’re a solo founder or a team of 50, I tailor everything to your needs – so you get a solution that works today and scales for tomorrow.
If you want to get up and running with Notion properly, save time, and reduce chaos – this is where we start.
Notion Consulting – Notion Integration
Linking Notion to other business systems
Already using other tools in your business? Your CRM, website backend, or internal software? Good – you don’t need to start from scratch.
As a Notion Automation Consultant, I specialise in connecting your existing systems to Notion. The goal is simple: make everything work together seamlessly, reduce duplication, and simplify the way your business runs day to day.
Using tools like Zapier and Make, I can integrate Notion with hundreds of popular apps – from your CRM and email marketing software, to file storage, calendars, or customer support platforms.
Examples of what we can do:
• Sync client details from your CRM directly into a Notion database
• Automatically create tasks in Notion when a new order or enquiry comes in
• Link operational tools to project dashboards so your team sees everything in one place
• Trigger follow-ups, status changes, or notifications automatically
This kind of automation removes the manual work that slows things down and increases the risk of error. It means fewer spreadsheets, fewer repetitive tasks, and a clearer view of what’s happening across your business.
We start with a simple chat to understand your current tools and workflows. Then I map out how Notion can sit at the centre – pulling everything together without creating more complexity.
If you’re curious about what’s possible, or wondering how to make your existing setup more efficient, book a free consultation and let’s talk through it.
No pressure. Just a straightforward conversation about whether this kind of integration makes sense for your business.

The Notion Business Operating System
Are you running a successful service business but feel overwhelmed by the day-to-day tasks? The Business Operating System is designed specifically for service-based businesses who are ready to scale without burning out.
This 90-day, done-for-you service transforms your operations from reactive and disorganised to calm, structured, and scalable. I will build you a fully customised operating system using tools like Notion or Airtable, tailored to your unique workflows.
You’ll gain clarity across critical areas like marketing, sales, client onboarding, service delivery, operations and customer support. With automated processes, streamlined dashboards, and clearly documented workflows, you reclaim your time, reduce stress, and create the foundation for sustainable growth.
Whether you’re a consultancy, agency business, or creative entrepreneur, the Business OS helps you scale with confidence. Say goodbye to dropped balls, team confusion, and manual tasks. and say hello to a business that runs smoothly, so you can focus on what truly matters.
Why It Matters
Every growing business eventually hits a tipping point where success brings complexity and complexity leads to chaos. Without streamlined systems in place, even the best service-based businesses can struggle with missed deadlines, team miscommunication, and mounting inefficiencies.
The day-to-day grind of managing everything manually, from client onboarding to project delivery, leaves little room for strategy, growth, or even breathing space for the founder.
This is where the Business Operating System becomes so valuable. By centralising your operations into a tailored, easy-to-use platform, it gives you the clarity and structure to scale sustainably. Automating repetitive tasks, organising workflows, and aligning your team are more than just operational upgrades, they’re the foundation for long-term growth and profitability.
When your business runs smoothly, your clients feel the difference. They experience seamless onboarding, clear communication, and consistent delivery of services. Your team feels empowered, knowing exactly what needs to be done and when. Most importantly, everyone can regain control of their time and the ability to focus on driving the big-picture vision.
The Notion Business Operating System isn’t just about efficiency, it’s about transforming chaos into calm and creating a business that thrives without burning out its people.
Notion Consultant – Scaling Teams in Notion
Managing Projects, Tasks and Teams in Notion
One of Notion’s most powerful features is how it lets you manage projects and tasks in a way that fits you – not the other way round. Unlike many rigid tools, Notion gives you full flexibility to design your own project management system. Whether you’re starting from scratch or working with one of the many pre-built templates, I can help you build something that works for your team.
As a Certified Project Manager and Notion Consultant, I bring both technical setup and real-world project experience to the table. I’ve used all sorts of tools over the years – Asana being a big one. In fact, I used to rely on it for everything. But since switching to Notion, I’ve migrated all my work across and haven’t looked back.
Notion gives you the power to:
• Customise task boards, timelines and dashboards
• Link projects to your CRM, knowledge base, or team wiki
• Track deliverables, deadlines and team workload in one place
• Build a central workspace that keeps everything connected
If you’re already using tools like Asana, the good news is that Notion can integrate directly with them – so you don’t lose what you’ve already built.
I’ll help you design a system that’s clear, collaborative and easy to manage. One that fits how you and your team already work, while introducing just the right level of structure to keep things moving.
If you’re looking for a smarter, more flexible way to manage your projects – Notion might just be it.
Let’s talk about what Notion could look like for your business.

“Chris did not just ‘build a Notion workspace’. He mapped how we actually work, then rebuilt our CRM and delivery tracking so it matched real life. Within two weeks we stopped losing tasks in email, and our weekly updates went from stressful to predictable.”
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Notion Consultant Cost?
It really depends on the scale and complexity of the work involved. If you just need an hour of my time then you can book a Discovery Session to work on, or discuss anything you need help with.
I can offer a range of options in terms of just offering advice and solutions, helping you and your implement the solution or doing all of the work on your behalf.
Take a look at the Notion Pricing page for more details, or book a FREE call to discuss your needs.
What does Notion do?
Notion is an all-in-one workspace tool that helps businesses and teams manage everything from their projects and tasks to their clients and finances. Notion can pretty much do it all.

Do You Only Work With Established Companies?
I work with solo entrepreneurs, small and medium sized businesses primarily. Generally clients are looking to make a step change in what they do and often this covers building a Business Operating System, and using something more powerful than spreadsheets to manage data and workflow. As well as building your OS, I can also help with migrating your data from your existing application into Notion.
Do You Offer Ongoing Notion Support
Clients also ask me to help with other areas of their business, and particularly their workflow. This can cover e-mail, file storage, database development, automation and integration and automating tasks between their systems.
Can you connect Notion to my other tools?
What business results can we expect from working with you?
The most common outcomes are time saved on manual processes, a single source of truth replacing scattered spreadsheets and documents, better visibility for leadership, and a system people actually want to use. Most clients come to me with a Notion workspace that’s either non-existent, chaotic, or built by someone who’s since left. After a proper build, teams spend less time searching for information and more time using it.
How long have you been working with Notion, and what types of teams do you usually work with?
I’ve been implementing Notion for businesses for several years, primarily working with small to mid-sized teams across consulting, professional services, agencies and operations. I work with teams that need to manage knowledge, projects, clients, and processes in one place, and are outgrowing the tools they’ve been using.
Have you built workspaces for mostly non-technical users?
Most of my clients are non-technical. I design for the end user first, simple views, clear navigation, minimal jargon. The complexity lives in the structure; the user experience should feel straightforward.
How do you gather requirements and map our processes into Notion?
Through discovery sessions, workflow mapping, and reviewing your existing tools and documents. I ask a lot of questions about how work actually happens, not how it’s meant to happen, and build from there. The goal is a Notion workspace that fits your real process, not an idealised version of it.
How long do typical projects take?
A focused build for a small team typically takes four to six weeks. Larger workspaces with multiple departments, significant data migration, or custom integrations take around 3 months. I’ll give you a realistic timeline after our first conversation.
Can you use the Notion API for more complex migration needs?
Yes. For larger migrations or where data needs significant transformation, I use the Notion API or scripting to handle it at scale. This is more efficient and less error-prone than manual copying.
Who maintains the workspace after the initial build?
Your team, with the documentation I provide. I also offer retainer support for clients who want ongoing access to me, useful for organisations that expect their processes to evolve or that want someone available when Notion ships significant new features.
Want Notion to reduce admin and make the work clearer?
Tell me what you are trying to run in Notion (projects, clients, knowledge, or all of it), and I will tell you the simplest structure to make it work.
Next steps:
1. Book a free consultation
2. Show me what you have, or explain what you want to build
3. Get a clear plan, what to set up first, and what to automate next
Does Claude work with Notion and do they play nicely together ?
I use Notion as the operating system for my business. Everything lives there: client projects, task lists, content pipelines, SOPs, revenue tracking. So when I started experimenting with AI agents, the obvious question was: can Claude plug into this system and actually do useful work?
Notion Custom AI Agents – practical workflows, use cases, and pricing questions
