Ongoing: chasing document signatures, sending reminders manually

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you automate proposal generation for a consulting firm? ▼
The system connects your meeting notes (Notion/Google Docs form), pricing database (Airtable), and proposal template (Google Docs). A consultant fills a 5-field form → system generates complete proposal in 3 minutes → consultant reviews and edits for 10–15 minutes → sends. Time reduced from 45 minutes to under 20.
Can AI maintain consulting firm writing standards? ▼
Yes, with proper setup. The system is trained on 5–10 of your best past proposals and a brand voice guide. After 3 iterations, AI output matches firm standards 85–90% of the time. Senior review catches the rest.
What is the ROI of automating a consulting firm? ▼
For a 6-person firm sending 10 proposals/week: automation saves 30 hours/month of senior consultant time. At $120/hour billing rate, that is $3,600/month recovered. Build cost: $1,200–1,500. Payback: 2–3 weeks.
