Let's talk

Five systems. One sales OS.

Start with the two or three where your team loses the most time. Every system here runs Hotkey's own pipeline every day.

01

Pre-Call Intelligence

A research-ready one-pager before every call. 5 minutes to read, an hour saved.

Learn more → 02

Post-Call CRM

The call logs itself. Summary, next steps, and deal stage written back the moment it ends.

Learn more → 03

Follow-Up

Touches fire off pipeline state instead of rep memory, so nothing goes cold by accident.

Learn more → 04

Outreach

Watches for buying signals and drafts the message to match. Reviewed before anything sends.

Learn more → 05

Proposals

Discovery notes become a sectioned proposal in your template, same day instead of half a day.

The five are the starting point. Tell us where your team loses time and we'll build the system for it.

Stuart Founder, Hotkey

Built by someone who's done the job.

I'm Stuart. I carried a B2B sales quota for years before I started building. Hotkey is the set of systems I wish someone had handed me back then.

I run Hotkey on these same systems, every day. If something doesn't hold up in my pipeline, it doesn't ship in yours. And there's no agency behind this: the person you talk to is the person who builds it.

We don't just advise. We build.

Built by a seller

Years of carrying a B2B quota before building software. We fix what slows reps down, not what demos well.

Fixed price, no surprises

Clear scope, timeline, and fixed price. No hourly billing, no scope creep, no mystery invoices.

We use our own systems

Hotkey runs on the same systems we sell, every day. They work because we depend on them, too.

Human in the loop

Nothing sends itself. Anything that reaches a customer is a draft a rep approves.

From first call to launch.

Most projects run $5–7K, fixed before we build.

Day 1

Discovery call

A free 30-minute session. We map your workflow and pinpoint where AI moves the needle.

Day 2–3

Proposal

Scope, timeline, and fixed price within 48 hours. You know exactly what you're getting.

Weeks 1–3

Build

We build, test, and deploy against your real data. Weekly updates, working system.

Week 4+

Support

30 days of post-launch support included. Optional $250 a month retainer after that.

How we think about the work.

Your Notetaker Charges Extra to Update Your CRM, and Still Gets a Third of It Wrong

AI notetakers charge extra for CRM write-back, and still hallucinate a third of the time. Here's what to check before you pay for the upgrade.

Things people ask first.

The questions most discovery calls open with.

What does Hotkey actually build?
Five core systems that take the most time-consuming non-selling work off your reps. Pre-call intelligence drops a research-ready brief in their inbox before every call. Post-call automation logs the call, updates the deal, and writes the recap. Follow-up automation runs touches off pipeline state instead of rep memory. Outreach personalization watches for prospect triggers and drafts a message per signal. Proposal generation turns discovery notes into a sectioned proposal in your template. Beyond those, every engagement includes custom work tailored to your specific workflow — real consulting, not a template. Most clients start with two or three based on where the team is bleeding time.
What happens when the AI gets something wrong?
Nothing sends itself. Anything that reaches a customer, like follow-ups, outreach, and proposals, is a draft that a rep reviews and approves first. Background work like research, logging, and CRM updates lands in your CRM where a wrong entry is easy to spot and correct. And during the build we test every system against your real data before it goes live.
Where does our data go? Is this secure?
Your data stays in your own tools. The systems read and write through the official APIs of your CRM, calendar, and email, under your own accounts, and you can revoke that access at any time. The AI providers we build on don't train their models on your data. Nothing gets copied into a separate Hotkey database.
How long does an engagement take?
Two to four weeks from kickoff to live. Week one is audit and architecture. Weeks one through three are build and integration. Weeks three to four are deployment, training, and handoff. A 30-day support window starts the day you go live.
How is pricing structured?
Fixed price, agreed before we build. Most engagements run $5K to $7K, depending on how many systems we build and how complex your stack is. You know the full cost before kickoff, and typical payback is under four months. An optional $250/month support retainer covers ongoing monitoring and adjustments.
Who is this for?
B2B service companies between 10 and 50 people whose growth depends on a sales team. The buyer is usually the founder, CEO, or head of sales. Reps are losing meaningful time to research, follow-up, CRM admin, or proposal-writing — and the team has hit the point where rep memory and discipline are no longer enough.
Will it work with our existing tools?
Yes. Every engagement is built around your stack, not against it. CRM, outreach tools, call tools, calendars — they all connect. Audit and architecture in week one is partly to confirm the integration paths before any building begins.
What does life look like for the team after deploy?
One training session at handoff. Documentation that explains how the system works and how to manage it. The 30-day post-launch window covers any tweaks or fixes. Ongoing operation requires no developer or analyst on your side to keep it running.
