AI and automation for professional services firms and B2B companies

In service companies of 20 to 250 people, selling often depends on the owner or one partner: leads wait days in an inbox, proposals are built from scratch and follow-up is irregular. We set up a sales process with CRM, qualification, template-based proposals and orderly collections, with margin measured by service.

Who it is for: Consultancies, accounting, legal and engineering firms, technology, logistics and B2B service companies with consultative sales cycles.

Where the sale is lost

  • Leads land in the owner's or a partner's inbox and wait days, and selling depends on one person.
  • Every proposal is built from scratch, with different scopes and prices.
  • Follow-up is irregular: the cycle is neither resumed nor closed.
  • Manual invoicing and collections, with no view of which service leaves margin.

The flow, step by step

Each step shows what the system does, where a person decides and what gets recorded.
