Frequently Asked Questions

Avoid busy seasons (Jan-Apr for accounting, Dec for consulting, trial periods for legal). Best: Summer months (Jun-Aug) for planning. Within 4 hours of demo request (partners have limited availability)

Expect 3-6 months for mid-size firms, 6-12 months for large firms. Partner decision cycles align with fiscal planning (varies by firm). Quick pilots showing utilization improvement accelerate deals.

Reference existing clients in similar specialties (tax vs. audit for accounting, M&A vs. litigation for legal). Lead with billable hours/utilization data. Offer valuable content (industry benchmarks, efficiency playbooks) rather than just asking for meetings.

Focus on: billable hours capture (reduce leakage), utilization improvement (target 80-85%), revenue per professional, and time savings for partners. Always show payback in quarters, not years (professional services firms want fast ROI).
