Stop Losing Six-Figure Consulting Deals to Manual Follow-Up
We automate your client lifecycle from discovery to final invoice, integrating HubSpot, Monday.com, and Harvest to reclaim 10+ hours of billable time per week.
In high-end consulting, the administrative drag of manual operations is more than an inconvenience—it is a revenue killer. When an engagement averages $10,000 to $50,000, a single missed discovery call or a delayed proposal follow-up represents a massive opportunity cost. Most firms lose momentum during the 'dead zone' between the initial meeting and the signed SOW because their partners are too busy delivering work to manage the CRM.
Read Laboratories specializes in eliminating this friction. We move firms away from fragmented systems where time tracking in Toggl, project management in ClickUp, and invoicing in QuickBooks exist in silos. By bridging these gaps with intelligent automation, we ensure that your practice scales without requiring a linear increase in headcount or administrative overhead.
Problems We Solve
Discovery Call Attrition
Eliminate ghosting by syncing Calendly with HubSpot and triggering automated SMS reminders and pre-call research briefs for consultants.
Proposal Stagnation
Stop letting $50k deals go cold. We implement automated multi-touch follow-up sequences that trigger the moment a proposal is viewed but not signed.
Manual Status Reporting
Stop wasting Friday afternoons compiling reports. We automate project status summaries pulled directly from Monday.com or ClickUp tasks.
Revenue Leakage
Recover unbilled hours by automating time-sheet reminders via Slack and syncing Harvest data directly into monthly invoice drafts.
Onboarding Bottlenecks
Move from 'Yes' to 'Kickoff' instantly with automated NDA generation, folder creation in Google Drive, and client portal setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle data security and NDAs?
We sign mutual NDAs before any system access. All automations are built using SOC2-compliant tools like Zapier or Make, utilizing OAuth for secure, encrypted API connections.
Can you integrate with our specific CRM like HubSpot or Salesforce?
Yes. We specialize in deep API integrations for HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive, ensuring your source of truth remains updated across all platforms.
What happens if an automation breaks due to an API update?
Our monthly management fee includes 24/7 monitoring and maintenance. If an endpoint changes or a sync fails, we typically have it resolved before your team notices.
Will this replace our existing project management tools?
No. We optimize the tools you already use, like Monday.com or ClickUp, by automating the repetitive data entry that your team currently does manually.
How long does a typical implementation take?
Most consulting firm workflows are fully automated and live within 3 to 5 weeks, depending on the complexity of your approval hierarchies.
Do we need to hire a developer to manage this?
No. We build 'low-code' robust systems that your practice manager can easily understand, while we handle the heavy lifting of the technical maintenance.
