There is a version of AI lead qualification that dog groomers buy off a shelf and quietly stop using inside a month. Then there's the version that's wired into your real workflow, owned by a person on your team, and still in use a year later. We only build the second one.

The dog groomers reality
What we keep hearing from NZ dog groomers.
- Groomers run tight appointment slots where a single no-show leaves an expensive gap in the day.
- Booking confirmations and reminder texts are the simplest lever for cutting no-shows in a grooming business.
How we build AI lead qualification for dog groomers.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a dog groomer business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI scores your leads.

Questions
FAQ
When does AI lead qualification actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a dog groomer – so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call – fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes – on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Sales reps spend 70% less time on dead-end conversations.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI lead qualification can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude, HubSpot, NZBN API, Twilio, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
