The Problem

CONSULTING FIRMS
ARE DROWNING IN ADMIN

You're losing high-value clients because your team is stuck answering phones instead of delivering strategic insights. Discovery calls get missed, consultations get delayed, and your consultants can't focus on billable work.

You Miss High-Value Leads After Hours

A CEO finds your firm at 9 PM while reviewing quarterly performance, calls to discuss a strategic engagement, and gets voicemail. By morning, they've already scheduled a consultation with a competitor who answered immediately.

The Cost
$50K+ lost
Per missed engagement opportunity

Your Consultants Can't Focus on Billable Work

While preparing a critical client presentation, your senior consultant fields calls about discovery sessions, invoice questions, and engagement updates. Billable hours evaporate answering the phone, and strategic work gets pushed to evenings.

The Cost
15+ hours/week
Lost to non-billable admin tasks

Discovery Calls No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

You block off 90 minutes, prepare a customized agenda, and research their business challenges. They don't show. You send one follow-up email that goes unanswered. That's it—a qualified prospect gone, and your pipeline takes a hit.
