Questions
FAQ
What's the realistic timeline for AI inbound sales with a Ashburton?
Most Ashburton businesses have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational – your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
Is AI inbound sales worth it for a smaller Ashburton?
Often, yes – and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.
What's the realistic outcome for Ashburton businesses?
An NZ B2B services firm cut average response time from 7 hours to 90 seconds and lifted demo-booked rate by 41%. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
AI inbound sales is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Claude / GPT-4 for conversation, Cal.com or HubSpot Meetings, Vector store of your sales collateral, Slack alerts for hot leads are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
