Here's the deterministic, zero-friction system for AC's VoIP Consulting Business, leveraging her enterprise experience while automating client workflows:


📞 AC's VoIP Migration Automation Stack (Enterprise-Grade, Zero Cost)

For the telecom consultant who:
✓ Migrates legacy PBX systems to cloud VoIP
✓ Onboards clients with complex network requirements
✓ Needs security-compliant documentation
✓ Manages multi-phase technical deployments


🔧 The Free Tech Stack

Tool VoIP-Specific Use
Google Sites Client portal with: migration checklist, SIP trunk specs, compliance docs
Calendly Free Books discovery calls (with buffer time for network audits)
Stripe Payment Links Takes project deposits (e.g., 30% upfront for migrations)
Google Forms Network intake form (current PBX model, SIP endpoints, firewall rules)
Airtable Free Tracks: Lead → Discovery → Migration Plan → Cutover → Post-Mortem
Google Drive Shared folder per client (Wireshark logs, SIP traces, LOA templates)
Zapier Free Auto-sends NDA/LOA via DocuSign after discovery call

🛠️ Phase-Based Workflow

1. Pre-Sales (Client Scans QR Code)

  • Lands on AC's technical portal (Google Sites) with:
    • Migration case studies (e.g., "10,000-seat Cisco → Teams Direct Routing")
    • Embedded Calendly for 30-min discovery calls
    • "Enterprise clients: Upload current SIP topology diagram" (Google Form)

2. Discovery Phase (Automated)

  • After booking, Zapier triggers:
    • Network assessment form (Google Forms):
      • "List all PRI/SIP trunk providers"
      • "PBX make/model + EOL date"
      • "Current call volume (peak concurrent calls)"
    • Airtable record auto-creates with technical debt analysis

3. Migration Execution

  • Airtable tracks:
    • Dependencies (e.g., "Carrier LOA signed")
    • Cutover checklist (e.g., "Test DID forwarding")
    • Shared with client as read-only view

4. Post-Mortem Automation

  • Zapier sends:
    • ASR/ACD reports (Google Data Studio)
    • Renewal reminder 60 days before contract ends
    • Feedback form (Net Promoter Score)

🚨 Enterprise Edge Cases Solved

Problem Fix
Carrier delays Airtable flags "Pending LOAs" in red
Firewall issues Drive folder stores client-specific ACL templates
Post-cutover bugs Auto-generated support ticket (Google Form → Airtable)
Compliance audits Drive archives all SIP traces + call logs

📌 Professional Touchpoints

  • QR Code Placement:
    • Email signature: Links to migration checklist
    • Proposals: QR to payment portal + SOW templates

💡 Scaling to Enterprise

  • Upgrade 1: Airtable Pro ($20/mo) for SIP trunk inventory tracking
  • Upgrade 2: Zapier Premium to auto-create MS Teams channels per project
  • Upgrade 3: Stripe Invoicing for recurring managed services
