How Consultants Can Consolidate 5 Tools into 1
How a solo consultant replaced his entire tech stack and saved 10+ hours weekly
Potential Results (Estimated)
Scenario Overview
Marcus Rodriguez, a business strategy consultant, was spending more time managing tools than serving clients. After switching to Dewx, he eliminated 5 subscriptions, saved over $400/month, and reclaimed 10+ hours every week.
The Challenge
Marcus Rodriguez runs a successful solo consulting practice, helping mid-size businesses with strategic planning and operational efficiency. Ironically, his own operations were a mess:
How Dewx Could Help
Marcus migrated everything to Dewx over a weekend:
The Migration Story
Before Dewx: A Day in the Life 6:30 AM - Wake up, check email (20 minutes) 7:00 AM - Check LinkedIn messages (15 minutes) 7:15 AM - Check WhatsApp (10 minutes) 7:30 AM - Update HubSpot with new leads (15 minutes) 7:45 AM - Review calendar, update Notion (10 minutes) 8:00 AM - Finally start "real work"
After Dewx: A New Routine 7:00 AM - Open Dewx, read Dew's morning briefing (5 minutes) 7:05 AM - Review and send Dew's drafted responses (10 minutes) 7:15 AM - Approve scheduled follow-ups (5 minutes) 7:20 AM - Start "real work," saving 40+ minutes every morning
Key Features Marcus Relies On
1. Morning Briefing Dew summarizes all overnight activity: new messages, responses needed, meetings coming up, and tasks due. No more checking 5 apps.
2. Follow-up Automation When Marcus promises to "follow up next week," he tells Dew. Dew schedules the reminder and drafts the follow-up message. Marcus just reviews and sends.
3. Proposal Generation Marcus describes a project scope to Dew, who drafts a proposal based on templates and past projects. What used to take 2 hours now takes 20 minutes.
4. Meeting Scheduling Instead of back-and-forth emails, Marcus says "Dew, schedule a call with John next week." Dew checks both calendars and proposes times.
Financial Impact
**Before Dewx**: - HubSpot: $50/month - Calendly: $15/month - QuickBooks: $30/month (still uses for accounting) - Mailchimp: $20/month - Notion: $10/month - Time cost: ~10 hours/week @ $200/hour = $8,000/month
**After Dewx**: - Dewx: $49/month (Pro plan) - QuickBooks: $30/month (still uses for accounting) - Time cost: ~2 hours/week @ $200/hour = $1,600/month
**Net Savings**: $6,446/month in time and tools
Example Quote (Hypothetical)
“I used to spend 2 hours every morning just catching up on messages and updating tools. Now Dew summarizes everything and I start my day actually working. It's like having a virtual assistant without the cost.”
