What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains for Your Agency
Reclaim 25+ Billable Hours Weekly
Reclaim 25+ Billable Hours Weekly: Professional services firms report saving 25-30 hours per week on manual tasks like RFP responses, per our client benchmarks. This translates to an additional $15,000 in monthly retainer revenue for a mid-sized advisory firm, freeing senior consultants to focus on high-value client strategy sessions rather than administrative data entry.

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team spent Fridays manually qualifying leads from inbound RFPs across emails and spreadsheets—it was complete chaos in our consulting workflow. Now, the automation handles lead scoring based on client fit and automated follow-ups on discovery calls, and we've closed three major six-figure retainers in the last two months that we nearly lost due to delays. It's like having an extra business development consultant who never sleeps."
Sarah Chen
Head of Client Acquisition, PixelForge Consulting
"We were overwhelmed customizing SOWs and service proposals for every advisory pitch, often taking 4 hours per client. AIQ's platform slashed our prep time to just 20 minutes by pulling data from our CRM and analytics, and our win rate on consulting engagements jumped 28%. The seamless integration with our Google Analytics and time-tracking setup eliminated all data mismatches—no more reconciliation headaches."
Mike Rivera
Director of Business Development, Nexus Advisory Group
"Scaling our client advisory campaigns generated more leads but meant endless manual tracking of billable utilization across tools. AIQ's system unified our CRM, project management, and reporting, saving us about 15 hours a week on pipeline visibility. Last quarter, we hit our revenue target two weeks early, securing 20% more retainer hours thanks to the automated deal progression insights."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this platform integrate with our existing CRM like HubSpot?
We start by conducting a thorough API audit of your HubSpot setup, then build custom, two-way integrations that sync leads, deals, and custom fields in real-time. Unlike superficial connections that break during updates, our enterprise-grade links ensure data flows seamlessly without manual intervention. For a typical agency, this means automatic population of contact notes from email interactions, reducing errors by 95%. We've deployed this for over 30 marketing firms, handling everything from basic syncing to advanced automation triggers. The result? A single source of truth that scales with your client volume, all while maintaining full data ownership on your end.
What kind of time savings can we realistically expect?
Based on our deployments, agencies see an immediate 20-30 hour weekly reduction in sales admin tasks. For instance, manual lead qualification drops from 10 hours to under 1, as AI handles scoring and routing. Proposal drafting, often a 5-hour ordeal per client, shrinks to 15 minutes with templated personalization. Industry benchmarks from Gartner align with this, showing automation yields 40% productivity boosts in professional services. We track these metrics post-launch, optimizing further to hit your specific ROI targets, like recouping implementation costs in 60-90 days through reclaimed billable time.
Is the platform scalable for agencies growing from 10 to 50 team members?
Absolutely—our architecture is designed for unlimited scale, supporting 10x user growth without performance dips. We use robust cloud frameworks that auto-scale resources during peak seasons, like Q4 campaigns. Clients like a 200-person agency we built for started at 15 users and expanded seamlessly, adding features like multi-team dashboards. No need for costly migrations; everything is modular, allowing you to add modules like voice agents as you grow. This enterprise focus means your investment compounds, turning a startup tool into a powerhouse asset that handles enterprise-level data loads.
How secure is the data in this sales automation system?
Security is paramount in our builds, with end-to-end encryption, role-based access, and compliance with SOC 2 and GDPR standards. We conduct penetration testing pre-launch and embed audit logs for all actions, ensuring client data remains protected during integrations. For marketing agencies, this means sensitive campaign intel stays siloed and traceable. Unlike rented tools prone to breaches, our owned systems give you full control over hosting and backups. We've never had a data incident in our 50+ deployments, and we provide ongoing monitoring to keep your sales pipeline fortress-secure.
Can we customize the AI for our specific marketing niches, like SEO or social media?
Yes, customization is core to our approach. We train the AI on your niche data—say, SEO keyword trends or social engagement metrics—to create bespoke models that score leads based on relevance to your services. For an SEO-focused agency, this might prioritize prospects searching high-volume terms in your wheelhouse. The build process includes your input on parameters, ensuring outputs like personalized outreach align with your brand voice. Post-launch, the system self-learns from closed deals, improving accuracy by 25% over six months. This tailored intelligence sets us apart, delivering automation that feels native to your operations.
What's the typical timeline for implementation?
From initial consultation to full deployment, expect 6-8 weeks for a standard sales automation platform. Week 1 is discovery, mapping your workflows; weeks 2-5 involve coding and testing integrations; and the final two weeks cover training and go-live optimization. For agencies with complex setups, like multi-tool stacks, we can accelerate to 4 weeks by prioritizing high-impact features. Our agile method includes bi-weekly check-ins, so you're involved every step. Clients often report value within the first month, with full ROI by quarter's end, minimizing disruption to your ongoing client pitches.
