We don’t hire employees. We partner with QMS black belts.

This isn’t a job posting. TLM works with established, independent consultants — operators who already run their own practice and already own their results. We’re not recruiting anyone away from the company they serve; we’re building a network of people who are already on their own and exceptional at what they do.

AI has multiplied what a lean team can deliver — which is exactly why we’re actively growing our circle of operators.

Who this is for

Feral cats, not house pets.

A consultant who trained several of us once said he only works with “feral cats” — people who are already independent, already know what it means to deliver value on time, and take responsibility for the outcome. Not people who believe a paycheck is driven by attendance, and that fogging a mirror is enough. That’s the whole filter.

You, if…

  • You already run your own practice — a QMS consultant, auditor, or quality expert with your own clients.
  • You measure yourself by outcomes delivered, on time, that you own end to end.
  • You’d rather multiply your value with the right platform than reinvent one yourself.

Probably not, if…

  • You’re looking for a salaried role with a manager assigning your work.
  • “Done” means the hours were logged, not that the client got the result.
  • You want someone else to own the outcome when it gets hard.

What a partnership looks like

TLM makes a good consultant a force multiplier.

The team that builds it, backing your play

When a client’s problem needs the software to flex, you’re not filing a ticket into a void — you have a direct line to the people who build TLM. Within reason and the platform’s scope, we make the change so you can promise a solution and deliver it. That’s not a reseller’s discount — it’s development on your side of the table.

A serious QMS behind you

Walk into a client with a complete, audit-proven quality system — enterprise depth at a small-business price. You bring the expertise; TLM brings the platform, and our support has your back.

New work, sent your way

Prospects who find TLM and need an expert to implement it are pointed to our certified consultants. The platform creates demand; you deliver the engagement.

We amplify each other

Your practice gains the credibility and reach of a live software partner; TLM gains a real expert in your region and niche. Two names that make each other stronger.

How it works

A path, not a job title.

1

Independent TLM Consultant

You bring TLM into your own client work — combining the platform with your expertise to deliver real outcomes. You’re never doing it alone: our support has your back, so your clients succeed and so do you. You stay fully independent; TLM is simply the best tool in your kit.

Prove it — with us behind you

TLM Account Representative

TLM Account Representatives run their own dedicated accounts — carrying the client relationship while the platform, brand, and support stand behind them. Compensation is tied to TLM licensing, so the ceiling is the rep’s own to set: capacity, customer-feedback history, account size, and skill at leveraging AI all decide how far it goes.

The ceiling is yours

The best partners were already operators before they found us. We just handed them a bigger lever.

Know a great consultant? Introduce us.

Some of the best partnerships start with a warm introduction. If you work with an independent QMS consultant who fits this picture — or you’re a company that could point one our way — we’d be glad to meet them. Good operators tend to know good operators.

“One of the first things we do when starting a new design project for a client is get their QMS fired up in TLM.”

Then tell us about a result you owned.

This isn’t a resume drop. We don’t care about your GPA or years warmed in a chair — we care whether you can deliver. So that’s what we ask.

No auto-reply, no funnel. If it’s a fit, David reads it and reaches out personally — and walks you through how the partnership works, one to one.
