How consultancies use Asktopus

Pricing and process expectations
Even if pricing isn't published directly, Asktopus can point to your pricing model, typical project scope, and how an engagement runs, based on what you've written about your process.

Lead pre-qualification

What Asktopus solves for consultancies
Keeps interest warm
When a prospect researches at 10 pm, you lose momentum if they have to wait until the next business day. Asktopus answers in the second and can capture contact details so you can follow up.
Pre-qualifies leads
Standard questions about geography, industry, and project size get answered automatically. The inquiries that reach your team are better qualified and quicker to convert.
Frees up senior time
Partners and senior consultants no longer spend time answering the same opening questions. Those answers are on the site, and Asktopus retrieves them.
Questions about Asktopus for consultancies
Can Asktopus discuss pricing if it's not on the site?
Asktopus only answers based on the content you make available. If pricing isn't on the site, it will tell visitors that exact pricing is determined individually, and can offer to capture contact details.
What does Asktopus do if an inquiry is complex and needs a human?
With human handoff switched on, visitors can reach you at any time with the “Talk to a person” button in the chat, or by writing that they want to talk to a person. They leave a message with their e-mail or phone number, and you get it by e-mail, Slack or webhook, together with the conversation so far.
Can we add case studies and whitepapers so Asktopus can reference them?
Yes. Besides reading your website, you can upload PDFs and Word documents directly in the dashboard. Case studies, whitepapers, and proposal templates are indexed alongside the site and used in answers.
