EngageSuite360 › Consulting CRM

The Free CRM for Consulting, with Your Pipeline Built In

EngageSuite360 is a free CRM built for consultants and professional-services firms, with a ready-made consulting pipeline (Initial Contact → Discovery Meeting → Proposal Drafted → Proposal Sent → Negotiation → Engagement Active). Track prospects, proposals, and active engagements in one place: contacts, companies, deals, tasks, notes, documents, and reports. No subscription, no credit card, set up the day you sign in.

Your pipeline, pre-built on day one

This is the exact deal pipeline the Consulting template seeds at signup — the same stages the product ships, not marketing copy:

Initial ContactDiscovery MeetingProposal DraftedProposal SentNegotiationEngagement Active

Your records speak your language too — the template tracks Clients & Engagements, with fields and terminology tuned to consulting.

A generic CRM makes you translate. This one starts in your words.

Records called Contacts and Deals. You rename the stages, build the fields and explain the system to your team before the first real entry.

Why the CRM costs nothing

No subscription, not a trial

The CRM has no monthly fee and no end date. Unlimited contacts and unlimited teammates. No credit card at sign-up.

How we earn

We earn when a business adds AI agents, such as an AI front desk or an agent for one consulting job. Agents are never switched on for you.

Why the CRM comes first

An agent is only as useful as the records it works in. Agents added later work in these same clients & engagements, so nothing has to be moved.

When you are ready: agents that work in your consulting records

It starts with communications. Agents answer, remind and follow up so your people stay with the customer in front of them. Then they do the data work, and every action lands on the records above.

Lead Qualification Agent

The agent scores inbound leads against ideal client profiles, sends personalized follow-up sequences, maintains pipeline data in real-time, and produces weekly pipeline reports with probability-weighted forecasts.

Client Relationship Nurturing Agent

The agent tracks client touchpoints, sends timely follow-ups and check-ins, surfaces cross-sell opportunities across the firm, and keeps the partner's network warm even during busy delivery periods.

Engagement Status Agent

The agent pulls data from time tracking, project boards, and communication logs to maintain a real-time status dashboard.

A paid upgrade, added when you choose. The CRM is complete without it.

💡 A proposal nobody follows up on tends to go quiet — “Proposal Sent” as a stage with a dated follow-up task shows every open proposal and who owes the next step.

What did the calls you didn’t answer cost you?

We’re not going to quote you a statistic about other businesses. Put in your own two numbers and do the arithmetic yourself.

Your two numbers

Nobody knows these better than you do. Rough is fine.

12
$600
If only one in twenty-five was a real customer
$14,976
a year, walking past you
That’s 3.1× what the front desk costs for a year.
Deliberately conservative. That’s 624 unanswered calls a year, and we assumed twenty-four out of every twenty-five was nobody — a wrong number, a supplier, someone who was never going to buy. If your real rate is better than one in twenty-five, the figure above is too small.

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 all core CRM modules: contacts, companies, leads, deals, tasks, activities, notes, calendar, documents, and reports. No credit card required.

Is the consulting CRM really free?+

Yes: no subscription and not a trial, with unlimited contacts and teammates. We earn when a business adds AI agents, such as an AI front desk from The Front Desk Company, which work in these same records, so nothing has to be moved when you add one.

What do AI agents add for a consulting business?+

The CRM is complete without them. When you add agents, they take the communications first: answering calls, sending reminders, following up. Then they handle the data work, writing every action to the same clients & engagements your team uses. Your people stay with the customer in front of them. Agents are a paid upgrade and are never switched on for you.

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.

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 — it is designed for exactly that stage. A solo consultant gets a full BD pipeline, client history, and follow-up discipline for $0, and can add AI agents later when admin work starts eating billable hours.
