Start with a conversation, not a quote

We listen to where you are, what your customers are requiring, and what the next twelve months look like for your QMS. We tell you honestly whether we’re the right fit — and if we’re not, who probably is. No quote on the call. No high-pressure follow-up.

What Happens Next

Four steps from form to first call

No phone-tag, no sales loop, no chatbot. The flow below is what every inquiry runs through.

You submit the form (or call directly)

Either works. The form routes to the consultant most likely to lead your engagement; calls during business hours typically reach someone on the first try.

We respond within one business day

Usually faster. The response is a real email from a named consultant — often Founder and Principal Connie Smith for first-call inquiries — not an autoresponder, and it confirms a time for the first call.

First call: 20 to 40 minutes

We listen first — where you are, what your customers are requiring, what timeline you’re working against. We answer your questions. We tell you honestly whether American Quality Management (AQM) is the right fit. No quote on the call.

If we’re a fit, a scoped proposal lands within a week

Defined scope, defined deliverables, defined milestones, status-report cadence, and named consultant assigned. Priced as a project for certification consulting; priced as a retainer — the maintenance option — for ongoing auditing or training. No platform-style “request a quote” loop.

Reach Out

Tell us what your QMS needs

Use whichever channel is easiest. We answer email within one business day and phones during business hours (8 a.m.–5 p.m. Pacific, Monday–Friday). Every standard consulting deployment or auditing schedule starts with a precise, complimentary gap analysis diagnostic review.

Not Ready to Talk Yet?

If you’re early in this, we won’t pitch you

Some of the people who reach AQM are scoping a future certification project — ninety days, six months, sometimes a year out. If that’s you, the first call is still useful, but a phone call may not be what you need yet.

Tell us where you are and we’ll respond with the readiness checklist we use on the first call with every new client. No email-gated funnel. No sales sequence afterward. Just the checklist.

Email info@aqmauditing.com with the subject line “Readiness checklist” and we’ll send it within one business day.

Questions about reaching out

A phone call during business hours (8 a.m.–5 p.m. Pacific) typically reaches someone on the first try. The form is best if you want to share scope in writing before the first call, or if you’re reaching out after hours.

AQM's client base is US-focused. We've worked with US-based subsidiaries of international companies and we'll respond to any serious inquiry, but most of our engagements are with US manufacturers and our pricing reflects that.

The standard(s) you're certifying under or need to add, your customers' requirements (especially flow-down requirements from primes or OEMs), your rough timeline, and any context on your current QMS state (greenfield, partially implemented, certified but drifting, etc.). If you don't have all of that, the call still works — we'll help you map it.
