Who we help

Built for agencies and professional services firms.

Agencies

Marketing, creative and digital agencies

“Every new client starts a little differently, and the extra asks never get billed.”

The Client Delivery System sets up onboarding, delivery and client requests in ClickUp, so every client starts the same way.

Consultancies and professional services

Consulting, coaching, training and other B2B firms

“We pay for the tools, and everything still runs through me.”

The Delivery Workflow builds one kind of engagement end to end, so every client project runs the same way.

Best fit: teams of about 5 to 50 people that run client work in tools like ClickUp or HubSpot. If your business runs on industry-specific software, we’ll tell you honestly on your Clarity Check.

Where things slip

Where things slip, and what we fix.

The fix usually isn’t another tool. It’s getting the ones you have to work together, and having someone lead that change so it doesn’t drift back to you.

  • “Deals go quiet because nobody owned the next step.”

    What we fix: Every inquiry is captured, answered fast and followed up until you hear a yes or a no.

  • “Every new client starts differently, and kickoff waits on logins, files and approvals.”

    What we fix: Intake, agreements, files and kickoff happen in order, with information entered once.

  • “A client asks for one quick tweak, and the extra work never gets billed.”

    What we fix: Requests land in one place, and anything outside the agreed scope gets flagged before anyone starts, so it can be quoted.

  • “Work slips, and nobody knows who’s doing what.”

    What we fix: Every project has an owner, a due date and one place to see what needs attention this week.

  • “Everyone’s using AI differently, and nobody’s sure what client information goes where.”

    What we fix: AI teammates with clear jobs, written ground rules, and a person approving what clients see.

  • “We pay for the tools, and everything still runs through me.”

    What we fix: Systems your team actually uses, one internal owner, and documented processes, so the business depends less on you.

See it in practice

Our flagship: the Client Delivery System

Inside the demo workspace

Demo · built with sample data

Built with sample data, not a client project. See how a signed client becomes an onboarding checklist, active work with owners and dates, and one dashboard that shows what needs you this week.

Inside the demo
  • Client setup and onboardingDetails captured once. First steps assigned.
  • Active and recurring workEvery task has a person and a due date.
  • Requests, approvals and blockersDecisions and hold-ups in one place.
  • The owner’s viewWhat’s on track and what needs you, at a glance.
  • Client requests and scopeExtra asks logged in one place, and flagged when they’re out of scope.

Practical AI

AI agents with a job and a reviewer.

We set up AI agents inside the tools you already use, often several working together. We call them AI teammates: each one has one job, and a person approves what clients see.

Clients are starting to ask agencies and firms what they’re doing with AI. We help you give a clear answer: approved tools, written ground rules, and respect for clients who don’t allow AI on their work.

Not every step needs an agent. Your Clarity Check shows where AI would help now, later or not at all.

Sorts new inquiries

Reads each inquiry and sends it to the right person.

Drafts the reply

Writes a first reply in your voice, ready for a person to approve.

Writes the weekly update

Turns project notes into a client status update for review.

We build in ClickUp, and connect it to HubSpot and other CRMs, Make, Zapier, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, QuickBooks, ChatGPT, Claude, and the AI built into these tools. Already on monday.com, Asana or spreadsheets? We’ll move your work into ClickUp.

Our adoption promise: If your team isn’t using what we built 30 days after launch, we’ll run another training session at no charge.

Questions and answers

Quick answers

Who do you work with?

Agencies, consultancies and professional services firms, usually teams of about 5 to 50 people that run client work in tools like ClickUp or HubSpot. We don’t run ads or lead-generation campaigns. We make sure every inquiry turns into a client and every client gets a smooth experience from onboarding to renewal.

We tried a new tool before, and nobody used it. Why would this be different?

Most tools fail because nobody leads the rollout. We build around how your team already works, train the people who do the work and one internal owner, and check back after launch. If your team isn’t using what we built 30 days after launch, we’ll run another training session at no charge.

Do we need AI agents?

Maybe not yet. An AI agent is AI that takes steps for you, like sorting a new inquiry and drafting the reply, instead of only answering questions. Agents work best on steps that already run the same way every time; on a messy process, they copy the mess. Your Clarity Check shows where AI would help now, later or not at all. When an agent fits, it gets one job, written ground rules and a person who approves what clients see.

Do you only work in ClickUp?

No. We build delivery and project systems in ClickUp, or in the platform your team already uses. Lead follow-up can live in your CRM, like HubSpot. We connect your tools with native automations, Zapier or Make.

We already have ClickUp, but it’s a mess. Can you fix it?

Yes. We map how work really moves, then clean up Spaces, statuses, fields and views so your team trusts it again.

Do you work with other consultants and agencies?

Yes. If you have clients who need their systems or AI set up and adopted, we can lead the implementation for you, white-label or co-branded. Email hello@smjbconsulting.com or book a Clarity Check and mention you’re a partner.
