The AI CRM for consultants
Consulting has a rhythm problem: when you're delivering, you're not selling, and when the project ends the pipeline is cold. A CRM alone doesn't fix that — it just documents the neglect. Sailsy is an AI sales manager: it keeps working your pipeline while you're deep in client work.
Paste your website and Sailsy builds your business profile, ideal client profile, and personas. From there it watches the pipeline: who's awaiting a reply, which proposal has gone quiet, what deserves your one free hour today — with the follow-up already drafted.

| Feature | Sailsy | Typical CRM |
|---|---|---|
| Between-project pipeline gaps | AI keeps prioritising and drafting while you deliver — the pipeline never fully cools | Pipeline goes stale the moment billable work takes over |
| Proposal follow-up | Stalled-deal rescue flags quiet proposals and proposes the nudge | Depends on you remembering; reminders you set yourself |
| Meeting scheduling | Built-in public booking links (no extra Calendly subscription) | Separate scheduling tool |
| Knowing your positioning | Knowledge Hub built from your website: ICP, personas, competitors | Blank fields you fill in yourself |
| Cost at solo scale | Free forever tier with the full CRM; paid from $89/mo when the AI should take over | Per-seat pricing from day one |
What is the best CRM for a solo consultant?
One that sells while you deliver. Sailsy's free tier gives a solo consultant the full CRM plus a knowledge base built from their website; the paid tier adds an AI sales manager that flags quiet proposals, prioritises outreach, and drafts follow-ups — the discipline consultants usually lose mid-project.
How does Sailsy help with the feast-or-famine cycle?
The famine comes from selling only between projects. Sailsy compresses re-activation: it keeps a prioritised focus list all through delivery, flags relationships going cold, and drafts the check-ins, so twenty minutes a day of approving messages replaces a cold restart every quarter.
Do I need to migrate my existing contacts to try Sailsy?
No. Start by pasting your website — Sailsy builds your business foundation in about 90 seconds and is useful immediately. Import contacts by CSV whenever you're ready, or import from HubSpot if that's your current system.
The verdict
If your pipeline dies every time you deliver, the fix isn't more CRM discipline — it's delegating the discipline. Start free, paste your website, and let Sailsy hold the pipeline while you do the work that pays.
