Consultants and professional services

Coordinate discovery calls, paid sessions, retainers, time zones, preparation, calendars, video links, invoices, and follow-up without overbuilding the booking layer.

Open the lead guide

An adult consultant prepares a discovery call, holds a paid video session across time zones, and records a follow-up while calendar, meeting, invoice, and client handoffs remain connected. — **Different meeting types need different access and handoffs.**Separate discovery, paid advice, and retained-client access while keeping time zone, calendar, video, invoice, and follow-up states aligned.

How the work moves

Follow the booking from request to recovery

Use one complete workflow so a change cannot silently leave a person, place, payment, or message behind.

Separate free discovery, paid advice, retained-client access, and internal availability display.
Apply qualification, lead time, time zone, duration, buffer, and preparation rules.
Create the correct calendar/video event and payment or invoice state.
Handle rescheduling, cancellation, follow-up, and CRM/accounting handoff.

What the setup must handle

Must-haves

Meeting-type qualification
Time-zone ownership
Calendar conflict blocking
Video link and notification state
Paid-session or invoice handling
CRM/accounting handoff with stable IDs

Deal-breakers

Public availability exposes private/internal meeting types
Time-zone conversion differs across page, email, and calendar
A cancelled session remains billable or on the calendar
A simple scheduling need is forced into unnecessary custom development
