Frequently Asked Questions

We help small and mid-sized businesses harness the power of AI automation — without the complexity. From streamlining repetitive workflows to integrating intelligent tools into your daily operations, we identify high-impact opportunities and build solutions that save time, reduce costs, and free your team to focus on the work that actually grows your business.

Our clients are founders, operators, and small business owners who know there’s a better way to run things but don’t have the time or technical background to figure it out alone. We work across industries — professional services, e-commerce, healthcare practices, real estate, and more — with teams typically ranging from 2 to 50 people. The common thread is ambition: they want modern tools working for them, not against them.

Tealer Consulting is based in the United States and works with clients nationwide. All of our engagements are conducted remotely, which means we can move quickly regardless of where you’re located. Meetings happen over video call on your schedule — no travel required.

An AI Workflow Audit is a structured deep dive into your current operations to pinpoint exactly where automation and AI can have the greatest impact. We map your existing processes, flag bottlenecks and manual inefficiencies, and deliver a prioritized action plan with specific tools and implementation recommendations. It’s the fastest way to see where you’re leaving time and money on the table. To get a head start, download our free AI Automation Checklist on the Resources page.

It depends on scope, but most projects follow a clear timeline. An AI Workflow Audit typically takes 1–2 weeks. Implementation projects — where we build and deploy automations — usually run 4–8 weeks depending on complexity. We scope everything upfront during your free 30-minute consultation so there are no surprises.

Both — and we’re intentional about which approach we recommend. In many cases, existing platforms like Zapier, Make, or native AI features within tools you already use can solve the problem faster and more affordably. When off-the-shelf solutions fall short, we build custom integrations and workflows tailored to your exact needs. The goal is always the right solution, not the most complex one.

Most clients see measurable results within the first 30 days of implementation — whether that’s hours reclaimed each week, fewer errors in critical processes, or faster turnaround on client-facing work. We’ve helped businesses cut manual data entry by 80%, reduce response times by half, and eliminate entire workflow steps that were costing thousands in labor each month. We’re happy to walk through specific examples during a free consultation.

It starts with a free 30-minute consultation. We’ll learn about your business, discuss the challenges you’re facing, and identify whether there’s a fit. No pitch decks, no pressure — just an honest conversation about what’s possible. You can book your call directly from our contact form.

Once we agree on scope, onboarding is simple and respectful of your time. We’ll send a brief intake questionnaire, schedule a kickoff call to align on goals and timeline, and request access only to the tools and systems we’ll be working with. Most clients are fully onboarded within a few days — not weeks.

Absolutely. We don’t believe in building something and disappearing. Every engagement includes documentation and a knowledge-transfer session so your team can confidently operate what we built. For clients who want continued optimization, we offer retainer arrangements that include monitoring, iteration, and strategic guidance as your business evolves.

Pricing depends on the scope and complexity of the engagement. Our AI Workflow Audits start at a fixed rate, and implementation projects are scoped and quoted after the audit so you know exactly what you’re investing in before work begins. We’re transparent about costs — no hidden fees, no surprise invoices. Book a free consultation and we’ll give you a clear picture of what to expect.

Yes. Every engagement begins with a free 30-minute consultation where we get to know your business, understand your pain points, and explore whether AI automation is the right move for you. There’s no obligation and no sales pressure — just a straightforward conversation about how we can help. You can schedule yours anytime through our contact form.
