AI workforce for Consulting Sales

AI agents for sales teams in consulting

Actionist is an AI automation tool whose agents operate the apps your consulting sales team already uses, turning discovery notes into SOW drafts and proposal activity into a partner review queue.

Every discovery call turned into a scoped SOW and a logged pipeline entry, without a partner losing an evening to it.

Where you spend your time

Why Consulting Sales teams switch

We know how your week actually goes

What matters to you
  • The SOW ships before it has to be chased
    Discovery notes turn into a scoped statement of work with a rate-card fee, ready for a one-pass partner review.
  • The pipeline reflects the call, not a memory
    Filed discovery notes provide the mandate, stage evidence, and next step for a partner-reviewed CRM update.
  • A warm read gets a warm follow-up
    Scheduled DocSend checks surface proposal activity and prepare a relevant follow-up for partner approval.
  • Redlines get a partner-ready comparison note
    A source-linked deviation list helps counsel and the partner review the MSA and decide acceptable terms.
  • The pitch deck fits the sector, not the last
    Case studies and credentials that actually fit the prospect's industry are pulled into the deck automatically.
  • Built around your business development
    These are examples of what a consulting sales agent can do. Build a custom agent for anything else your firm repeats.

And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..

An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Consulting Sales team's day.

The problem

Where the hours go

  • A partner walks out of a discovery call with a notebook of scrawled requirements and has to turn it into a scoped statement of work, deliverables, timeline, and a fee built consultant by consultant off the rate card, usually after hours because the day was full of client meetings.

    An agent reads the discovery call notes, drafts the SOW in the firm's template with deliverables and a rate-card fee already applied, and queues it for the partner's one-pass review instead of a blank-page rewrite.

  • A proposal sits in DocSend for a week and nobody notices it was opened until the prospect has already gone quiet, because checking read receipts across every open proposal is one more tab nobody has time for between client calls.

    Scheduled proposal checks surface newly recorded reads and draft a relevant follow-up in Gmail, held for partner approval before it reaches the prospect.

  • Client legal sends back an MSA with a dozen tracked changes, and someone on the deal has to read every clause against the firm's standard liability cap, IP, and payment terms before a partner can even see what actually changed.

    An agent creates a source-linked redline comparison for counsel and the deal partner. They review the underlying agreement and decide which terms the firm can accept.

  • Every new pitch means rebuilding the capabilities deck from the last one that shipped, swapping in case studies that may not even fit the prospect's sector because nobody has time to search the case study library properly.

    An agent pulls the case studies, credentials, and team bios that genuinely fit the prospect's sector into a tailored capabilities deck, so the pitch reads as built for them, not recycled.

Triggers

Your Agent wakes up Automatically whenever something happens

Your agents watch the apps you already use and act the moment something happens, usually within about a minute, handle it based on your instructions, 24/7.

WhenDiscovery call notes are saved to the deal folderfires within about a minute
The agent automatically

When new discovery notes appear in the monitored folder, the agent can start checking within about a minute. It assembles a SOW draft from the approved template and rate card, links assumptions that need a partner decision, and queues the result for approval before it reaches the prospect.

With Actionist

What your agent runs for you

  • Sales
    210 min / week
    Rewriting discovery notes into a SOW by hand

    A partner rereads scrawled or transcribed discovery notes after hours, working out deliverables, milestones, and a fee consultant by consultant off the rate card, usually a first draft with mistakes a fresher read would catch.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent drafts the SOW off the rate card automatically

    An agent reads the discovery notes, drafts the SOW with deliverables and a rate-card fee already applied, and queues it in PandaDoc for the partner's one-pass review.

  • Sales
    95 min / week
    Updating the CRM from memory after the call

    A partner tries to remember what was actually agreed on a call from two days ago before logging it to Salesforce, so stage changes and next steps often lag the real conversation by a week.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent logs the call to the pipeline straight after

    An agent logs the mandate, stage, and next step to the CRM as soon as the call notes land, so the pipeline reflects the actual conversation, not a partner's recollection.

  • Sales
    60 min / week
    Checking DocSend for proposal opens manually

    Someone checks the DocSend dashboard once a day if they remember to, and by the time a stale proposal gets noticed the prospect has usually gone quiet for a week.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent flags the open and drafts the follow-up

    The agent checks recorded DocSend activity on a schedule and drafts a relevant follow-up in Gmail for partner approval.

  • Sales
    120 min / week
    Reading an MSA redline clause by clause

    Someone on the deal reads every tracked change in a returned MSA against the firm's standard liability cap, IP, and payment terms one clause at a time, then writes up what a partner needs to see.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent drafts the clause-by-clause comparison note

    An agent compares the redlined MSA against the standard playbook and drafts a comparison note flagging exactly where the client's version deviates, in Google Docs for the partner to check.

  • Sales
    150 min / week
    Rebuilding the capabilities deck from the last pitch

    Someone swaps slides from whichever capabilities deck shipped last, hunting the case study library for anything that vaguely fits the new prospect's sector because there is no time to search it properly.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent assembles the deck from the right case studies

    An agent pulls the case studies, credentials, and team bios that genuinely match the prospect's sector into a tailored deck in Google Slides, ready for the partner to add the closing narrative.

Trust & control

You stay in control

An agent drafting SOWs, fee schedules, and MSA comparisons only earns a place in your pipeline if the firm stays in control of what actually reaches a prospect or a client's legal team. Actionist is built so every draft waits for a partner, every record is logged, and your deal data stays yours.

Client-facing drafts wait for a partner

A drafted SOW, proposal, or MSA comparison note waits for a one-pass approval before it goes anywhere near a client or their legal team, unless a partner widens that autonomy through Approval Modes.

The pipeline is logged, never guessed

CRM updates link to filed discovery notes or correspondence. Missing call notes remain a partner question; the agent does not infer an outcome from a booked meeting.

Fee terms never change without sign-off

The agent applies the standard rate card to a draft SOW but never quotes a custom discount or fee exception on its own; anything outside the standard terms is flagged for a partner's decision.

Discovery notes and client data stay yours

Restrict deal access to the proposal folders and records needed for the mandate. Check client confidentiality terms and model-provider handling before including sensitive discovery or MSA material.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does my consulting sales team need to be technical to use Actionist?
No. Actionist is built for partners and business development, not developers. You describe how your firm scopes SOWs, tracks the pipeline, and follows up proposals in plain language, connect the apps you already use, and the agent handles the rest. There is no code to write and nothing to configure through an API for most tools, because the agent operates the apps the way a person would.
How do I get started?
Book a free demo at demo.actionist.ai and show the agent how your firm actually drafts a SOW, logs a call, and follows up a proposal. Connect PandaDoc, Salesforce or your CRM, DocSend, and your inbox, and the agent starts working alongside your business development process.
How do I make customised AI agents for our firm's own process?
The SOW drafting, pipeline logging, and DocSend follow-ups shown here are examples, not the limit. You can build a custom agent for whatever your firm repeats, a specific fee-approval chain, a sector-specific deck template, or a redline standard unique to your practice, in plain language, without hiring a developer.
How quickly can I set Actionist up?
Start with one approved SOW template, a current rate card, and a sample set of discovery notes. Connection permissions and the quality of those inputs determine setup time. Review the first draft with a partner before adding proposal follow-ups or recurring tasks.
Is our client and deal data safe with an agent handling proposals and MSAs?
Limit access to the specific prospect folders, CRM fields, and discovery notes required for the proposal task. Review client confidentiality agreements and provider data handling. A self-hosted runtime can still send information to the model and connected apps used to prepare a draft.
What if our proposal template or internal deal tracker has no API?
Actionist's desktop agent uses computer use, meaning it operates your PandaDoc template, your internal deal tracker, or a client portal on screen the way a person would, clicking, typing, and reading exactly what you see. It runs the tools you already use, including the ones with no API to plug into.
Will an agent send a proposal or follow-up to a prospect without a partner seeing it first?
No. Any SOW, proposal, or follow-up drafted for a prospect or a client's legal team waits for a partner's approval before it goes out, unless you deliberately widen that autonomy through Approval Modes. The agent drafts; a partner decides what actually reaches a client.
Will this replace our partners' relationships or is it just for the paperwork?
It is for the paperwork and the admin, not the relationship. An agent drafts the SOW, logs the call, and flags a warm read, but a partner still runs the conversation, negotiates the fee, and decides who to pursue. The goal is more hours in front of prospects, not fewer partners in the room.
Does an agent understand our NDA and MSA standards well enough to draft against them?
Give the agent your approved NDA and MSA templates and coach it like a junior business-development coordinator. It can compare text and assemble a deviation list, but it can miss a change. Qualified counsel reviews legal interpretation, the source agreement, and any new clause before acceptance.
