Most of our Kerikeri engagements start the same way: a 20-minute call where the owner describes a workflow we've heard before in shape but never in detail. AI outbound sales is then designed against the detail, not the shape.

For Kerikeri operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.

Built on: Claude + GPT-4 for messaging Apollo / Clay for enrichment HubSpot or your existing CRM Twilio for SMS, Gmail / Outlook for email

Why Kerikeri businesses are a fit for this.
- Kerikeri is horticulture, tourism, and a fast-growing lifestyle community – AI here is about connecting orchard, paddock, and storefront.
- Kiwifruit, citrus, and a steady hospitality scene serving the Bay of Islands. AI tools that work in low-signal areas land best.

Talk to us about this →How we build AI outbound sales for a Kerikeri team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Kerikeri business, so value lands before the build is finished. Outbound that doesn't sleep.
Talk to usThe outcome for Kerikeri teams
We'd call the engagement a success when Kerikeri teams are using the system without thinking about us. One NZ SaaS team replaced two outbound SDRs with an AI agent + one closer — 3× the meetings booked, same pipeline cost.
Not your typical AI agency.

Questions
FAQ
When does AI outbound sales actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a Kerikeri – so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call – fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
What's the realistic outcome for Kerikeri businesses?
One NZ SaaS team replaced two outbound SDRs with an AI agent + one closer — 3× the meetings booked, same pipeline cost. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI outbound sales can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude + GPT-4 for messaging, Apollo / Clay for enrichment, HubSpot or your existing CRM, Twilio for SMS, Gmail / Outlook for email but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
