Turn Every Inbound Call into a High-Value Consulting Engagement
Stop losing $50,000 contracts to voicemail. Our AI Phone Agent handles discovery scheduling and proposal follow-ups while your partners focus on billable delivery.
In the consulting world, responsiveness is often the deciding factor between winning a six-figure contract or losing it to a competitor. Partners and practice managers are frequently billed out at high hourly rates, making it economically inefficient for them to handle initial lead qualification or routine project status updates. Yet, if a prospect calling for a $25,000 strategic assessment reaches a voicemail, the likelihood of them booking elsewhere increases by over 60%.
Beyond lead intake, consulting firms struggle with administrative leakage. Between chasing down consultants for Harvest time-tracking logs and following up with clients on unsigned proposals, dozens of hours are lost every month. Read Laboratories builds AI agents that bridge this gap, integrating directly with the tools you already use—like Salesforce, Monday.com, and ClickUp—to ensure your firm operates with the efficiency of a much larger organization without the overhead of a massive administrative staff.
Problems We Solve

Time Tracking & Billing Friction

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the AI handle complex project scoping?
The AI is designed for discovery, qualification, and scheduling. It handles the initial gatekeeping and data gathering so that your partners only spend time on high-intent, qualified leads.
How does it integrate with our existing project management tools?
We use custom API connectors to link the AI agent with Monday.com, ClickUp, or Asana. This allows the agent to pull real-time status updates for clients or push tasks to your team.
Does the voice sound robotic or natural?
We utilize advanced neural text-to-speech models that offer human-like inflection and low latency, ensuring a professional experience that reflects your firm's brand standards.
Can it help with our accounts receivable?
Yes. The AI can be programmed to make professional outbound 'check-in' calls for overdue invoices, often resolving payment issues without requiring a partner's intervention.
How do you handle confidentiality and data security?
Read Laboratories signs firm-wide NDAs. All call data is encrypted, and we can configure the system to comply with specific industry regulations like HIPAA or SOC2 if required.
Can it route calls to my cell phone if the AI can't answer a question?
Absolutely. We build 'fail-safe' routing into every agent. If a client requests a human or asks a question outside the AI's knowledge base, it can live-transfer the call to your team.
