The problem

Your CRM should help you follow through

Consultants do not lose opportunities because they lack another dashboard. They lose them when:

  • A meeting recap never becomes a follow-up task
  • A promising lead gets buried in email
  • A client conversation is not recorded
  • A proposal or document is difficult to find
  • A reminder depends on someone remembering to create it
  • A client needs an update, but nobody knows who owns the next step

Vertiqa connects conversations, contacts, tasks, scheduling, documents, and follow-up so your team can spend less time reconstructing what happened and more time moving client relationships forward.

How it helps

How Vertiqa helps consulting firms

One workspace

One workspace for the client relationship

Vertiqa combines the tools consulting firms use to manage relationships and deliver work:

Every contact has a connected history, so your team can see the relationship and the next action in one place.

After the meeting

Turn conversations into next steps

After a call or meeting, Vertiqa can help turn the information into organized work:

  1. 1The conversation or note is captured.
  2. 2The contact and timeline are updated.
  3. 3A follow-up task is created.
  4. 4A recap email can be drafted for review.
  5. 5A reminder keeps the next step visible.

External messages remain behind a human approval step. Nothing is sent automatically without approval.

Pipelines

Keep prospects moving

Use pipelines and follow-up tracking to manage:

  • New inquiries
  • Discovery calls
  • Proposals
  • Active engagements
  • Renewal or expansion opportunities
  • Follow-ups that are waiting on a response

Vertiqa helps surface what needs attention instead of requiring your team to search through multiple tools.

Give clients a better experience

Use client portals, scheduling, forms, documents, and digital contact tools to create a more organized client experience.

Clients can have a central place to interact with your firm, while your team retains the underlying relationship history and operational context.
