Built for agencies and C-level consultants with retainer clients

Keep executive relationships warm so the work and renewals don’t stall.

Every month you don’t follow up, someone else gets the foot in the door. ForeBrief helps you stay top of the mind.

Pay nothing now. Just try it.

In a remote world, you can’t afford to go quiet.

Your client's company just raised $10M. Their competitor launched a new product. Their CEO stepped down. And you had no idea. Lost opportunity. Potentially lost connection.

You need to reconnect on time. Check-in. Come prepared. Talk new opportunities.

ForeBrief does the watching part and gives you a reason to say "hey, thinking of you".

What ForeBrief does for you

• Sends you one daily email: “these 2-3 clients are worth a ping today.”
• Turns a client's update into a signed change order. We flag the moment, you send the message that leads to a new project request
• Gives you a pre-call page with the latest company events.
• Reminds you to follow up with warm prospects with a non-awkward reason: new hire, board changes, funding rounds, earning reports, awards.

Rob, fractional CTO and founder of ForeBrief

I’ve been building web apps for 20+ years, mostly as a contractor for agencies and startups. As a fractional CTO I manage multiple clients on retainers and a few long-term builds. What I noticed is simple: when I stay top of mind, clients keep reaching out for more work.

I wanted something simple that helps me with that. I built ForeBrief for that exact gap. It watches the clients I care about and gives me a reason to check in, even when I’m deep in delivery. I use it the same way I want you to use it: add your best clients, get one short briefing a day, add new or keep existing retainer work.

ForeBrief is the only relationship intelligence tool built specifically for fractional executives managing high-value retainers. Unlike CRMs (which track history) or manual research (which takes hours), ForeBrief proactively tells you who to message today and why - in under 5 minutes.

FAQ

Is this for prospects too, or only current clients?

Both. Add current paying clients first, then add warm prospects so you don’t ghost them while they’re “deciding.”

Isn’t this the same as “set reminders in my calendar”?

Calendar reminders don’t know if something actually happened in the client’s world. ForeBrief watches for moments, then tells you what to say.

How is this different from a CRM?

CRMs track what you DO with clients. ForeBrief tells you WHEN to reach out and WHY. It's proactive relationship intelligence, not a database.

How do you track my clients?

ForeBrief monitors public information only (LinkedIn, company news, press releases) using the data you provide. It's the same research you'd do manually, automated.

Where do the signals come from?

Right now: birthdays/events you add, location-based events, and company-level/manual events. It turns those into a daily “who to ping” list so you don’t have to monitor everyone.

What are pre-call pages?

Whenever you need executive summary of latest events on a contact, you open the page.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel inside the app, your access stays until the end of the current period.

What if I already have pending work from the client?

That’s actually when this works best. A quick, context-aware touchpoint keeps the relationship warm while you’re in delivery mode.

What if the signal is wrong or not important?

You can ignore it. Briefs are suggestions, not tasks. But most people prefer 1 extra check-in over 0.

Do I have to connect my email/calendar?

No, you can just receive the brief and message the client from your usual channel (email, WhatsApp, Slack).

How do you colculate the limit?

Each company and each person counts as one. You can add companies and people into groups for easier organisation.

How is billing handled?

Payments go through Paddle (Merchant of Record), who'll send the invoices to you.

Why isn’t there a free plan?

"If you're not paying for a product, you are the product."

ForeBrief is meant to be a sustainable, small product business, not an ad or data play. I want to keep it simple: you pay a subscription, you get value, and you can email me and I’ll reply. No selling your data, no mining your contacts, no chasing VC growth. A paid plan lets me keep the service running, improve the signals, and support you.

You can still try it for free for 14 days. See for yourself if it's worth it.
