# AI-Run Consulting Firm & B2B Agency — Client Portal, Lead Qualification & Retainer Billing | Teammates.ai

Launch an AI-run consulting practice or B2B agency with service pages, Stripe retainer checkout, discovery call qualification, and 24/7 client support.

## Problem & Autonomous Solution

- **Problem**: Consultants and agency founders lose billable hours to unqualified 45-minute discovery calls that do not match their minimum retainer budget or scope. Spinning up tailored landing pages, diagnostic questionnaires, and Stripe retainer links for new offers takes days away from client delivery, while inbound inquiries from referrals or webinars wait hours for a response during client workshops.
- **Solution**: Teammates.ai gives independent consultants, fractional executives, and B2B agencies an accountable operating team. Your AI Co-Founder and AI Engineer ship your site, diagnostic intake forms, and Stripe billing for paid audits or retainers; Adam qualifies B2B leads and books discovery calls; Raya answers client questions 24/7; and you can add Sara or custom blueprint teammates as your practice grows.
- **Primary Teammate**: cofounder

## Key Outcomes

- **100%**: Pre-Qualified Discovery Calls
- **Stripe**: Paid Audits & Retainers
- **24/7**: Executive Intake Desk
- **+Sara**: On-Demand Talent Screening

## Core Features

- **Authority Website, Case Studies & Diagnostic Forms**: Your AI Engineer ships practice-area landing pages, interactive ROI assessments, and client intake flows without agency delays.
- **Stripe Paid Strategy Sessions & Retainer Billing**: Monetize initial advisory calls and collect recurring monthly retainers or milestone deposits directly on your site.
- **B2B Discovery Call Qualification & Follow-Up**: Adam qualifies company size, budget fit, and problem urgency before a prospect can book a 45-minute slot on your calendar.
- **24/7 Executive Intake & Client Concierge**: Raya responds to referral inquiries, reschedules workshops, and collects onboarding documents across email, WhatsApp, chat, and phone.
- **Specialist & Contractor Screening With Sara**: When new retainers close, Sara conducts structured voice and text interviews to deliver a ranked shortlist of subject-matter contractors.
- **Expandable Roster With 15 Role Blueprints**: Create custom teammates for account management, marketing ops, finance tracking, or legal coordination as your firm scales.

## Solution Comparison Matrix

| Feature | Teammates.ai | Traditional Approach |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Discovery call booking** | Adam qualifies budget, company size, and problem fit before booking | Open calendar links that let unqualified leads book your time |
| **Service pages & paid audit checkout** | Built and updated by your AI Engineer with integrated Stripe checkout | Stale brochure site disconnected from billing |
| **Inbound lead & client response** | Answered in seconds by Raya across email, chat, WhatsApp, and voice | Delayed until partners finish client workshops |
| **Scaling delivery capacity** | Sara conducts structured voice/text interviews and delivers ranked shortlists | Founders manually screening dozens of contractor CVs |
| **Custom scope & pricing control** | Custom proposals and discounts always hold for partner approval | Ad-hoc email threads without central tracking |

## Implementation Workflow

1. **Define Your Advisory Offers, ICP & Qualification Rules**: Tell your AI Co-Founder your practice areas, target company size, minimum retainer or diagnostic fee, and discovery call qualification questions.
2. **Launch Practice Pages, Case Studies & Stripe Retainer Checkout**: Your AI Engineer builds and deploys your bilingual consulting website, diagnostic intake forms, and Stripe checkout for paid strategy sessions and retainers.
3. **Qualify B2B Prospects & Coordinate Client Intake 24/7**: Adam screens budget, authority, and project timeline before booking your calendar, while Raya handles client scheduling and onboarding FAQs across email, WhatsApp, chat, and voice.
4. **Scale Delivery With Sara & Custom Role Blueprints**: Add Sara to interview specialist contractors and associates, or spin up custom teammates from 15 role blueprints for research, finance ops, and project coordination.

## Architectural Deep Dive

- **Protecting Partner Billable Hours From Unqualified Discovery Calls**: For consulting firms, fractional executives, and B2B agencies, partner time is the primary constraint on revenue. Publishing an unscreened calendar link invites prospects who cannot afford your minimum engagement. Adam engages every inbound referral, webinar attendee, or website visitor first—confirming company size, urgency, and budget range before scheduling a discovery session.
- **Turning Expertise Into Productized Paid Audits and Retainers**: Instead of spending weeks writing custom decks for prospects who have not committed, your AI Co-Founder and AI Engineer help you launch productized diagnostic workshops and retainer tiers with built-in Stripe checkout. Clients can book a paid strategy session, complete an intake questionnaire with Raya, and arrive at your meeting ready to execute.
- **Scaling Your Practice With Sara and Custom Blueprint Teammates**: When a new retainer lands, delivery bottlenecks shift from sales to talent and coordination. Activate Sara to screen and interview specialist contractors in Arabic and English, and add custom teammates from 15 role blueprints to handle research briefs, client status updates, and finance operations.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- **Can I charge for initial strategy sessions or collect monthly retainers online?**: Yes. Your AI Engineer connects Stripe checkout directly to your booking and proposal pages so clients can pay for diagnostic sessions or recurring retainers.
- **How do we prevent Adam from sending unapproved outreach or discounts?**: You set the qualification rules, approved service tiers, and autonomy boundaries. Custom pricing, scope commitments, or contract changes always hold for your approval.
- **Can we add custom teammates for specialized agency workflows?**: Yes. Alongside your AI Co-Founder, AI Engineer, Adam, Raya, and Sara, you can create custom teammates from scratch or start from 15 role blueprints across operations, marketing, finance, and legal coordination.
- **Does this work with HubSpot, Notion, Slack, and Google Calendar?**: Yes. Teammates.ai integrates with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Google Calendar, Calendly, Notion, Slack, Gmail, and WhatsApp.
