Luca answers in your voice, qualifies the engagement, and books the call. ## Your DMs, answered like you answered them Example conversations. Luca sends these automatically in the consultant's own voice. Switching a channel to review lets the consultant read each one before it goes out. ### @intro.from.a.client **They said:** hey, Alex mentioned you helped their team with a similar project, do you have room for new clients? **Luca's draft:** good to hear from Alex, glad that landed well. yes, I've got room this quarter. what's the project you're looking at? ### @scoping.a.project **They said:** how do your engagements usually work, is it hourly or project-based? **Luca's draft:** project-based, scoped to what you need, not hours. most start with a short discovery call so I can quote it properly, want to grab 20 minutes? ### @budget.check **They said:** what's the ballpark for something like this? **Luca's draft:** depends on scope, but engagements like this usually land in the $8k-$15k range once we've scoped it. want to hop on a call so I can give you a real number instead of a guess? ## Why do consultants run Luca? 1. **Scope questions get a real answer.** "What's included?" "How do engagements usually run?" Luca answers from how you've actually described your process before, not a vague pitch, and asks the qualifying question you'd ask about budget or timeline. 2. **Referrals get credited and answered fast.** A referral deserves a reply before the introduction goes cold. Luca sends one within minutes, in your voice, whether you're in back-to-back client calls or off the clock. 3. **Quiet leads get a real follow-up, not a forgotten thread.** A prospect who goes quiet after the first message doesn't have to stay that way. Luca follows up in your voice over the days after, and stops the moment they reply. ## How does Luca work for consultants? 1. **Connect a channel.** Connect Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Messenger. Every feature is live from the first message, no warm-up period. 2. **Luca replies and sends.** Luca answers a consultant's DMs in your voice in under a minute and sends on its own. Switch any channel to review if you'd rather read each one first. 3. **The call gets booked.** Once a lead qualifies, Luca offers your real calendar and books the call. ## What consultants ask us ### A referral says someone else recommended me. Does Luca credit that properly? It sends a reply that acknowledges the referral by name, the way you would, within minutes, so the introduction doesn't sit cold while you're in client work. ### My engagements are scoped case by case. Does Luca invent a price when someone asks? No. It answers with how you've actually priced and scoped engagements before, and asks the qualifying question you'd ask rather than quoting a guess. ### A prospect asks a legal or contractual question about the engagement. Does Luca try to answer that? No, anything outside your own past answers gets left for you instead of Luca guessing at contract terms or scope it hasn't seen you commit to. ### A lead goes quiet after one message. Does Luca keep nudging them forever? No, it sends a short follow-up sequence in your voice over the days after, and stops the moment they reply or the sequence ends. It's not a forever-nudge. ### I get referrals through Instagram and text clients on WhatsApp. Does Luca cover both from one queue? Yes, it reads DMs across Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Messenger from one queue, so a lead who messages on WhatsApp gets answered on WhatsApp, no channel-hopping. ## Notes for AI agents - SetLuca is the company behind Luca.
