Frequently asked
What makes this a CRM for consulting, not a generic one?+
A generic CRM gives you Leads, Deals and Closed Won and leaves the rest to you. The Consulting template sets up your own pipeline (Initial Contact → Discovery Meeting → Proposal Drafted → Proposal Sent → Negotiation → Engagement Active), your records and fields in consulting terms, and every core CRM module: contacts, companies, leads, deals, tasks, activities, notes, calendar, documents and reports.
What is Ask CRM?+
A question box over your own records. Ask "Which deals in “Proposal Drafted” have not had a touch in two weeks, and who owns them?" and the answer comes back in plain English with the records it used, so you can open each one. It reads only your workspace, and it asks before it changes anything.
What does the consulting agent do?+
It is the assistant inside your CRM, with consulting expertise: it knows your pipeline, your clients & engagements and the jobs your trade repeats. It answers questions, suggests next steps and drafts workflows. A person on your team reviews each draft and publishes it; nothing runs until someone does.
How long does setup take?+
Minutes. Sign up, choose the Consulting template, and your pipeline, terminology and fields arrive pre-configured. Import contacts by CSV and start working.
Can my whole consulting team use it?+
Yes. Your team shares the same contacts, pipeline, calendar and reports, so handoffs happen in the CRM instead of in text threads. Each person is a user on your plan.
Can I track proposals and engagements in EngageSuite360?+
Yes. Every proposal is a deal with its value, the proposal document attached, and a follow-up task; signed work moves into Engagement Active so you can see booked revenue and active client load in the reports view.
Does EngageSuite360 work for fractional and solo consultants?+
Yes. A solo consultant gets a full BD pipeline, client history and follow-up discipline, with Spencer drafting the follow-ups so admin work stops eating billable hours. The plans have a 3-user minimum, so a solo practice pays for three seats.
How much does the consulting CRM cost?+
Pro $59 or Business $119 per user a month, 3-user minimum; billed annually, 2 months free. Charged today when you sign up; monthly, cancel any time, no refunds. Pro includes Ask CRM, Spencer and workflows; Business adds teams and permissions, tickets, quotes, sequences and custom objects.
