Client Meeting Intelligence Retainer Build (10-15 days)
A productized engagement that turns recorded client calls into a searchable, permissioned knowledge base feeding follow-ups, onboarding docs, and compliance logs. Built for agencies running 20 or more client calls per week across delivery and account teams.
- Signed client consent and recording policy covering two-party-consent jurisdictions; a named internal owner for the transcript archive; admin access to the client's conferencing platform and CRM; a defined retention window (30, 90, or 365 days) agreed in writing; one pilot team of 3 to 8 people committed to a two-week trial.
- 1.Map every recurring client call type: kickoff, weekly status, QBR, escalation
- 2.Count calls per week and estimate current note-taking hours per account manager
- 3.Confirm which call types are off-limits for recording
- 1.Draft the recording consent script and add it to calendar invites
- 2.Build a jurisdiction checklist for clients in two-party-consent states or the EU
- 3.Route the policy past the client's legal contact for sign-off
- 1.Select the assistant that matches the client's conferencing stack and CRM
- 2.Decide between a bot that joins calls and a local capture app for sensitive accounts
- 3.Confirm data residency and whether transcripts can leave the client's cloud tenant
- 1.Install the chosen platform on the pilot team's calendars
- 2.Connect the CRM so summaries and action items write back to the right account record
- 3.Test one live call end to end and check speaker labels
- 1.Define the summary template: decisions, owners, dates, open risks
- 2.Set keyword trackers for competitor names, budget language, and churn signals
- 3.Agree on the human review step before any summary reaches the client
- 1.Run the pilot across a full week of live client calls
- 2.Log every transcription error that changes the meaning of a sentence
- 3.Time how long the review step actually takes per call
- 1.Compare assistant output against a manually written summary for the same call
- 2.Score accuracy on names, numbers, and commitments
- 3.Decide whether the pilot team keeps, swaps, or drops the tool
- 1.Build the archive structure: folders by client, quarter, and call type
- 2.Write the retention and deletion schedule into the client's data policy
- 3.Set access rules so contractors see only their own accounts
- 1.Turn recurring call summaries into a monthly client-facing digest
- 2.Template the follow-up email that ships within two hours of each call
- 3.Draft the onboarding doc that new account staff read before their first client call
- 1.Train the delivery team on the review step and the escalation path for errors
- 2.Document what never gets automated: pricing commitments, legal positions, personnel matters
- 3.Publish a one-page internal standard for meeting data handling
- 1.Measure hours saved per account manager against the day-one baseline
- 2.Collect client feedback on the digest format
- 3.Fix the two most common failure modes found in the pilot
- 1.Hand over the runbook, archive, and templates to the client's owner
- 2.Set the monthly review cadence for accuracy and retention compliance
- 3.Quote the ongoing retainer for archive maintenance and digest production
Agencies bill this as a fixed-fee build because the output is a durable asset, not a tool subscription: the transcript archive and digest templates stay with the client and keep producing value after the engagement ends. The margin comes from the review layer and the client-facing digest, work that requires judgment about what a client should and should not see in a written record. Once the archive exists, the monthly retainer is defensible because deleting or migrating it is painful, and the agency owns the templates that make it readable.
- Recording consent policy and jurisdiction checklist signed by the client
- Configured assistant deployment across the pilot team's calendars and CRM
- Summary template with decisions, owners, dates, and risk flags
- Client-facing monthly digest built from recurring call summaries
- Runbook covering the human review step, retention schedule, and access rules
The client's named owner can independently run one full week of recorded calls, produce the monthly digest from the archive, and demonstrate the review step without agency assistance.
