The "After-Hours Engagement" Problem
Client crises in regulatory compliance or M&A due diligence ignored during off-hours, eroding trust in time-sensitive advisory roles where deadlines can span 24-hour cycles
Missed inbound calls from C-suite executives seeking urgent strategy consultations after 5 PM, such as post-market merger evaluations or crisis response planning
Delayed responses to RFP inquiries for complex advisory projects on weekends, allowing competitors to secure bids in competitive sectors like financial consulting or legal advisory
Overloaded senior consultants handling routine follow-ups on client deliverables, diverting focus from high-impact work like strategic roadmapping or risk assessments
Fragmented lead tracking across voicemails and emails for prospective advisory engagements, leading to forgotten relationship-building opportunities with key stakeholders
Inconsistent service levels for global clients across time zones, such as APAC executives needing EMEA-aligned strategy sessions, weakening international consulting partnerships

What Makes Us Different:
Capture Every Client Opportunity Without the Wait
Instant, 24/7 Responsiveness
Instant, 24/7 Responsiveness: Strategy consulting firms lose an average of 27% of potential M&A advisory engagements due to after-hours gaps. Our AI agents respond in under 10 seconds to inquiries about due diligence or valuation models, qualifying leads and booking virtual sessions around the clock—ensuring high-value C-suite clients receive the prompt attention they expect from top-tier advisors.
Elevated Client Satisfaction and Retention
Elevated Client Satisfaction and Retention: In advisory industries like management consulting, Net Promoter Scores rise 35% with immediate service during off-peak hours. These agents deliver personalized follow-ups referencing prior strategy sessions or risk analyses, turning urgent inquiries into long-term retainers and reducing churn by 20% through precise, on-demand guidance.
Streamlined Lead Qualification and Conversion
Streamlined Lead Qualification and Conversion: Manual screening of RFP responses and executive outreach consumes 15-20 hours weekly from billable consulting time. Our custom agents score and nurture leads using your firm's criteria for sectors like financial advisory, integrating insights into CRM pipelines—proven to boost conversion rates by 42% within 90 days for firms managing complex stakeholder engagements.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's voice agent, we'd miss calls from APAC-based clients at odd hours during our EMEA-focused strategy projects, and follow-ups on due diligence requests dragged into days. Now, it handles initial consult requests with precise knowledge of our frameworks—last quarter alone, it booked 12 new M&A strategy sessions we would've lost to competitors. Our team's freed up for deeper advisory work, and clients rave about the always-on responsiveness."
Elena Vasquez
Managing Partner, Apex Strategy Advisors
"Integrating this with our Salesforce CRM was seamless, and the agent's grasp of our proprietary risk assessment framework for financial advisory is spot-on. We saw a 25% uptick in qualified leads within the first month, especially from after-hours inquiries by Fortune 500 executives on compliance strategies. It's like having an extra junior consultant who's available 24/7 without the overhead."
Michael Chen
Principal Consultant, Horizon Risk Advisory Partners
"Our firm specializes in cross-border merger advisory, where timing is everything for deal momentum. The AI voice agent caught a critical inbound from a European CEO at 2 AM EST regarding valuation synergies, qualified it against our criteria, and synced the full details to our DealCloud dashboard by morning team huddle. That $50M deal closed two weeks later—absolute game-changer for our global practice."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent integrate with our existing CRM like Salesforce?
We start by mapping your CRM's API endpoints to create a bidirectional flow—every call is transcribed, leads are auto-tagged and updated in real-time, and outcomes like booked meetings trigger workflows. For a mid-sized consulting firm, this meant slashing manual entry from 5 hours to zero weekly. Unlike plug-and-play tools, our custom builds handle your unique fields, such as client sector or engagement type, without data silos. Setup takes 2-4 weeks, with full testing to ensure zero disruptions. Post-launch, we monitor for seamless performance, adjusting as your processes evolve.
Can the agent handle complex consulting inquiries without sounding scripted?
Absolutely—our agents use advanced NLP models fine-tuned on your firm's knowledge base, including case studies and terminology. They engage in natural back-and-forth, like clarifying a client's digital transformation needs before qualifying. One firm reported 85% resolution on initial calls for routine queries, escalating only nuanced ones with context. We avoid generic responses by training on your voice—think consultative probing, not salesy pitches. This builds trust instantly, mirroring a human advisor, and we've seen engagement rates climb 40% in beta tests for strategy consults.
What happens if a call requires human intervention during off-hours?
The agent intelligently detects complexity—say, a detailed RFP discussion—and seamlessly transfers to your on-call consultant via SMS or app notification, passing full conversation history. For after-hours, it can schedule a callback within your SLA, like next business day. In practice, this reduced overnight escalations by 60% for a partner firm, as the AI resolves 70% of inquiries autonomously. We customize escalation rules to your workflow, ensuring no client feels bounced around, and all handoffs maintain the professional tone your brand demands.
Is the system secure for handling confidential client information?
Security is paramount in consulting—we encrypt all calls end-to-end, comply with SOC 2 and GDPR, and store data only as needed for your CRM. Voice interactions are anonymized where possible, with audit logs for compliance reviews. Unlike cloud-based alternatives, our on-prem options keep sensitive advisory details in your control. A recent deployment for a financial consulting group passed their rigorous audit without issues, preventing breaches that plague 22% of voice tools annually. We conduct regular penetration testing to stay ahead of threats.
How much does a custom AI voice agent cost for our consulting firm?
Pricing is bespoke, starting at $15,000 for build and integration, scaling with features like multi-language or advanced analytics—far below maintaining a 24/7 receptionist at $80K/year. ROI hits fast: firms see 3x return in 6 months via captured leads. We factor in your size—say, 50 consultants—and usage, avoiding subscription traps. Initial consult is free to scope exact needs, and we provide benchmarks: a similar firm saved $45K annually while adding $200K in new engagements. Transparent, no hidden fees.
How quickly can we deploy the AI voice agent?
From discovery to live, expect 4-6 weeks for a tailored setup—faster than building in-house. Week 1: audit and design. Weeks 2-3: development and integration. Week 4: testing with your team. One consulting partner went live in 28 days, handling 50+ calls weekly by launch. We prioritize quick wins, like basic call routing in phase one, while layering in custom logic. Post-deployment, 24/7 support ensures smooth scaling as your client volume grows.
