We've worked with enough operators in Ashburton to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any AI lead generation project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.

Canterbury
Where Ashburton operators actually lose hours.
- Mid-Canterbury runs on irrigated dairy, arable, and a tight industrial sector – AI here is about turning paddock data into operational decisions.
- Dairy, arable, and a strong engineering base supporting irrigation and processing. AI lands well when it makes long days shorter.

Talk to us about this →How we build AI lead generation for a Ashburton team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Ashburton business, so value lands before the build is finished. Get me new leads.
Talk to usThe outcome for Ashburton teams
If we build the right slice first, Ashburton teams feel the difference inside the first month. An NZ B2B software company built a 300-lead/week pipeline on autopilot – entire SDR seat returned.
Not your typical AI agency.
Honest about what AI can and cannot do
Ships the one workflow that pays for itself
Hours given back, never the size of the invoice
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Questions
FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for Ashburton businesses?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes – on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. An NZ B2B software company built a 300-lead/week pipeline on autopilot – entire SDR seat returned.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI lead generation stack we reach for is Claude for ICP scoring + research, Apollo, Clay, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, NZ Companies Office data, HubSpot / Salesforce / Pipedrive, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run – Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
Worth a conversation?
Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
