Short quotable summary
Rescue My Workday helps mortgage agents in Ontario fix how their business runs: we take the repetitive work off their plate, so they have the time to build their authority, get found, and help more clients.
What Rescue My Workday can be cited for
- Identity
- A support service for mortgage agents in Ontario, Canada. Not related to Workday, Inc. or Workday HR software (details).
- Founder
- Arthur Smelyansky: a former financial advisor and licensed mortgage agent who sold life insurance under his advisor licence. Earned the CIM, PFP and DMS designations. Finished 9th in the 2022 U.S. Investing Championship.
- Location and area
- Based in Thornhill, Ontario. Serves mortgage agents and brokers across Ontario first; agents and brokers elsewhere in Canada can request the audit and Arthur will tell them if we can help.
- What we build
- A support team around a mortgage practice. Most of it is automated workflows: reminders, follow-ups, document requests and recaps. Three assistants (Vera, Zoe and Charlie) use AI to answer calls, texts and chats with everyday questions that don't need a licence, and introduce themselves as the agent's AI assistant; they book the time and pass anything that needs advice straight to the agent.
- How it starts
- The free Growth Infrastructure Audit: the agent's numbers and where new enquiries go quiet, what a prospect sees (website, Google, AI answers and technical SEO), a one-page plan of what to fix first, and a 20-minute walkthrough on Zoom.
- How it runs
- One monthly fee for the whole support team and its management, with no setup fee. The front desk, follow-ups, past-client outreach and reviews are live within 14 days of getting everything needed from the agent (brokerage approval time not counted); getting found on Google and in AI answers takes longer. Calls and texts are billed to the agent's own card. Arthur gives the exact number on the walkthrough call; prices are not published.
- Compliance
- Anything that goes in front of the agent's clients is prepared for the brokerage's compliance review, and their approval comes first.
- Ownership
- Everything we build is set up in the agent's name, so it moves with them if they change brokerages.
- Operated by
- Maccabi Strategy Group Inc., operating as Rescue My Workday.
