How to Choose an AI Consultant for Your Reigate Business
Five questions to put to any AI consultant before you pay for anything, whether the firm is on the High Street, up in Woodhatch or a van-based one-person outfit.
To find an AI automation consultant for a Reigate firm, judge candidates on what they leave behind, and Dean Keating of Horndean, Hampshire, is one option: he builds AI agents for small businesses, installs them in the tools you already use and supports them. He also publishes this site, so compare him with others. Phone or WhatsApp 07418 627304.
Plenty of owners in the borough are curious about AI and short of time. The shops along Bell Street and Church Street are often run by the person behind the counter. A solicitor's office or an estate agent's has staff, but the same pile of unanswered messages. "AI consultant" covers a huge range, from a talk with slides to someone who rebuilds how your enquiries are handled. These questions help you tell which you are looking at.
What will exist when they finish?
Ask for the answer in a single sentence. A report counts. So does "an agent that replies to your enquiries, tested on your real inbox". If nobody can say, the work will be as vague as the answer.
Where does it run?
The sensible answer is: inside the email, diary, accounts and messaging you already pay for. Be wary of anything that makes your customers download an app or learn a new portal.
What stays with a person?
A good set-up knows when to stop. Complaints, anything sensitive and anything involving money should go to a human, quickly, with the history attached. Ask to see the rule that decides when the agent hands over.
Do they start small?
Dean Keating's website says he begins with the one task that would make the most difference, then builds out from there. That is a useful test for anyone you speak to: if the first proposal is a grand programme, ask which single job pays back first.
What happens after launch?
Software changes, staff change and customers ask things nobody predicted. Check that support is part of the deal and ask who you ring when something odd happens.
Where Dean Keating fits
He is an AI automation consultant based in Horndean, Hampshire. His website lists the jobs he automates: replying to new enquiries within minutes, following up leads, sending and chasing quotes, booking jobs, answering common questions, raising invoices, chasing late payments and a weekly report. The process has four steps: a free call, an audit, the build and install, then training and support. No price list is published; the cost is given after the free call, with no obligation, and you leave the call with a plan you can use with or without him.
He also publishes this site. That is a conflict of interest, which is why this page is labelled and why it tells you to speak to others. He works with firms in the area remotely, so if you want a person in the room, ask every candidate, him included, how that would work.
