How we work
Clear scope. One quote. No surprises.
PerezCarreno & Coindreau quotes every project after a free 30-minute discovery call. We confirm what you need, then send one fixed price before any work begins. The number you approve is the number you pay. We serve small and medium businesses across the United States from our base in San Antonio, Texas.
The way we price
Every project is quoted, not guessed.
We do not list set prices because no two businesses are the same. We learn your work first, then give you one honest number for the whole project.
See all services →Free discovery call
A 30-minute talk to learn what you need. If we are not the right fit, we will say so and point you to someone who is.
Your written quote
We send a clear, fixed-fee scope. Strategy work is usually quoted same day. Custom builds come back within a couple of days.
Kickoff
Once you approve the scope, we start within a week. The number you approve is the number you pay.
Ongoing support
Support, retainers, and coaching are billed monthly with 30-day notice. No annual lock-in.
What you can hire us for
Three ways we help, start to finish.
We map your work and find what is worth building first.
We build the AI and automations and plug them into your tools.
-
Custom AI Automation
The work eating 10 to 20 hours of your week, automated.
2 to 4 weeks
-
AI Integration & Development
When off-the-shelf tools do not fit, we build the system around how your business actually runs.
4 to 8 weeks
-
Voice AI Receptionist
A real-time AI agent that picks up your phone, books appointments, and routes the calls that need a human.
2 to 4 weeks
We train your team and stay close so you can run it yourself.
Over time
Most clients spend less as we go.
The work you fund in your first project pays off later. The connections and groundwork we build the first time make every project after it faster and cheaper. By the third or fourth workflow, new automation costs much less because the foundation is already there.
That is the opposite of how most consulting firms work, where the bill grows as you grow. We earn less per workflow as you add more, because the work gets easier. That keeps us pointed at the same goal you are: a long, healthy relationship.
What the quote covers
Your quote covers our work, plainly.
Your quote pays for the work we do for you. The software tools your automation runs on (your CRM, your AI provider, your phone or data services) are billed to you directly by those companies, and they usually cost a small slice of the project. We always include an estimate of those monthly running costs in your proposal, so you see the full picture before you say yes.
FAQ
Questions about how we work
- How do you quote a project?
-
Every engagement is fixed-fee and scoped on a free 30-minute discovery call. We confirm what you need, then send a written quote before any work begins. Most AI consulting pricing is opaque on purpose, which is a red flag. We do the opposite: the number you approve is the number you pay, with no surprises mid-project.
- What drives the size of the quote?
-
Cost scales with the number of systems involved, your team size, and the timeline. Small or clearly-scoped work lands on the lower end. Larger, more integrated, or multi-workflow projects run higher because there is more to build, test, and hand over. We walk you through the math on the discovery call so the quote makes sense.
- Do you offer payment plans?
-
Yes, for larger engagements. The standard split is 50% at kickoff and 50% at delivery. Longer projects (8+ weeks) can split into three or four milestones. For retainers, month-to-month billing is the default. We confirm the schedule in the quote so cash flow is clear before you sign.
- Do you work on commission or revenue-share?
-
No. All engagements are fee-based. We turn down revenue-share offers because the incentives rarely align with what is actually best for the client. If we cannot justify our fee against your projected savings, we will tell you.
