AI Revenue Operations: Pay One RevOps Lane or Consulte the Stack

Pay vs Consulte for AI revenue operations: when Starter $2,500 fits one CRM lane, when Consulte is safer across sales/CS systems, and Discovery $99 maps the handoff — no invented pipeline lift.

What this page is (and is not)

This is a fit guide for one RevOps lane (qualify, route, or draft follow-up) in one CRM. It is not a case study and it does not invent a savings percentage, SLA letter grade, or certified outcome. Published commercial prices live on /plans/. The diagnostic is Discovery $99. Human-scoped work starts at /contact/.

The unit of work

Process

one RevOps lane (qualify, route, or draft follow-up) in one CRM

Systems

CRM plus the inbox or dialer that today carries the work

Operating signal

stage age or handoff time on that lane — not a fabricated win-rate lift

Stop rule

No invented pipeline percentage. If the board wants a number, start from your baseline in Discovery.

Pay vs Consulte

Consulte (/contact/)

Multi-CRM, compensation rules, or CS and sales share the object model. Consulte the SOW.

Start Consulte — SOW first, Pay later if the slice is clear.

If you cannot name the process, the systems, and the acceptor for “done,” do not Pay yet. Use Discovery $99 for a written map (Pay, Consulte, or stop). Deeper SKU comparison: Discovery $99 vs Starter $2,500.

What Discovery $99 writes

Discovery is not implementation. Implementation is Starter or a scoped SOW. Ongoing coverage is Growth after the model is clear.

Good after kickoff (no fake math)

If access is still pending or success was redefined to “demo,” stop and re-scope. That is Consulte, not a silent expand of Pay.

FAQs

Can I skip Discovery and Pay Starter?

Yes — if one RevOps lane (qualify, route, or draft follow-up) in one CRM is already named, CRM plus the inbox or dialer that today carries the work are reachable, and someone will accept “done.” If kickoff would still debate the job, map first: Discovery $99.

Is Consulte a free consultation?

No. Consulte is a human-scoped conversation via /contact/ when the SKU is unclear. Discovery is the $99 written diagnostic. There is no free consultation SKU.

Do you publish ROI or savings percentages for this work?

No. This guide uses fit patterns only. Use an operating signal you already measure. Board language without fake math starts from the Discovery map.

Where do Consulting $499 and Growth fit?

Consulting $499 sits between Discovery and Starter when you need RACI or roadmap without a pilot yet. Growth $8,000/mo is ongoing coverage after the model is clear. Ladder: /plans/.
