CRM automation and AI lead follow-up for consultants

Keep every inquiry moving from first email to signed retainer, even when you're deep in client work. We set up your CRM (one place for every lead, call and next step) and an AI that replies, follows up and books calls for you. It runs on autopilot. You step in only where you choose.

When client work wins, follow-up loses

Independent consultants and fractional executives sell in the gaps between delivery. Those gaps are where deals stall.

  • Inquiries wait while you're heads-down on a project.AI replies in your voice, day or night, using your services and prices.

  • Scoping calls end without a clear next step.The recap and next step go out the same day, and the proposal follows after a yes.

  • Proposals go out, then go quiet.AI follows up until they reply, and alerts you when a hot deal goes quiet.

  • Retainer renewals sneak up on you.Check-ins go out on a schedule, and you get a heads-up well before the end date.

  • Referrals arrive, but nobody tracks them.Every referral is tagged and thanked for you, and you can see who sends work.

  • Your pipeline lives in your inbox, LinkedIn and a spreadsheet.One pipeline, from inquiry to retainer, kept up to date for you.

Example automations for consultants

Set up around your services, prices and voice, and run on autopilot. You decide what comes to you.

When an inquiry comes from LinkedIn or your site

It's logged with its source. AI replies in your voice, answers from your services and prices, and offers times for a scoping call. Sensitive or unusual questions come to you.

Runs on autopilot

When a scoping call is booked

It goes straight onto your calendar. They get a few prep questions and reminders, so the call starts with context. If they miss it, AI offers new times and rebooks them.

When a scoping call ends

AI sends the recap and next step, and saves the summary to their record (only if everyone agreed to recording).

Runs on autopilot

When a client says yes to next steps

The proposal, contract and invoice go out for you, with e-sign and autopay. If they sit unsigned, a polite follow-up goes out, and you get an alert if it's still quiet.

When a retainer is 60 days from renewal

The client gets a check-in on schedule. You get a heads-up with the date and terms, so you can lead the renewal talk.

Hands off to you

When a project wraps up

A testimonial and referral request goes out, timed for the end of the project. You can turn it off for any client.
