AI Scheduling for Professional Services

Make it effortless for clients to book consultations, meetings, document reviews, and follow-up appointments across every professional service type — from law firms and accounting practices to consulting and financial advisory teams.

Ferdinand acts as your always-on Scheduling Agent handling appointment requests, qualification questions, intake details, rescheduling, and follow-up reminders so your team can stay focused on billable work.

No back-and-forth emails. No dropped leads. No missed opportunities because your team was in court, on a call, or with another client.

Just fast, automated scheduling for every client interaction.

What Ferdinand Automates for Professional Service Firms

✔ Consultation & Discovery Call Scheduling

Prospective clients can connect instantly:

Ferdinand determines the correct meeting type (initial consult, discovery call, intake meeting), checks availability across your team, and books appointments automatically — with confirmation and prep instructions.

✔ Ongoing Client Appointment Management

For returning clients needing:

• Follow-up meetings

• Document review sessions

• Case updates

• Monthly or quarterly advisory calls

• Filing or reporting prep

Ferdinand uses rules you define to route clients to the appropriate professional, match appointment length, and ensure proper buffer time between meetings.

✔ Intelligent Intake & Pre-Qualification

Instead of staff manually sorting inquiries, Ferdinand can collect:

• Case or service type

• Urgency level

• Required documents

• Industry type (for consulting)

• Financial profile (for advisors)

• Business vs. personal services (for accounting/firms offering both)

This ensures the appointment is set correctly the first time, reducing rescheduling and wasted time.

✔ Rescheduling, Cancellations & Policy Enforcement

Clients often need to adjust appointments. Ferdinand handles:

• “I need to move my consultation.”

• “Can we switch to virtual?”

• “I’m running late.”

The AI applies your policies (cancellation windows, reschedule limits, fees if applicable) and updates calendars automatically.

Your team stays protected — and clients stay informed.

✔ Automated Reminders & Preparation Messages

To reduce no-shows, Ferdinand sends:

• Day-before reminders

• Day-of reminders

• Required document checklists

• Virtual meeting links

• Parking or office instructions

Your schedule stays full, and your clients arrive prepared.

✔ Multi-Format Scheduling: In-Person, Virtual & Hybrid

Professional services require flexibility. Ferdinand handles:

• Zoom/Teams/Google Meet scheduling

• Office location routing

• Multi-office selection

• Hybrid appointments

• Phone consultations

Clients get the format they prefer — without friction.

✔ After-Hours & Weekend Support

Most professional service providers miss inquiries because their teams are in meetings or out of office.

Ferdinand ensures:

• Every lead is acknowledged instantly

• Every consultation request is scheduled

• Every existing client can make changes without waiting

• No opportunity slips through cracks

Great for firms with high-value clients who expect responsiveness.
