The reason we take on work in Kaikōura is that the businesses here tend to be sharper about what they want than the brief lets on. AI lead generation for a Kaikōura team almost always ends up looking different to AI lead generation for a downtown Auckland one.

Questions
FAQ
How fast could we have AI lead generation in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Kaikōura businesses. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
What does AI lead generation cost for a Kaikōura?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
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.
What if our Kaikōura doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape – ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful – is part of the engagement. For AI lead generation specifically, we typically run that work on Claude for ICP scoring + research, Apollo, Clay, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, NZ Companies Office data, HubSpot / Salesforce / Pipedrive and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
