Most of our Timaru 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.
Canterbury · Applied AI
For Timaru operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
What AI outbound sales actually does
An AI sales agent that runs your outbound — researches prospects, personalises the pitch, sends the first 3 touches, and only hands a warm reply to a human. Hits the activity numbers no SDR can keep up with, without the spammy blast feel.
- 01 Lookalike prospect lists built from your best existing customers
- 02 Personalised first-touch emails and LinkedIn messages — not templated
- 03 Auto-followups across email + SMS until they reply or opt out
- 04 Warm replies routed straight to your CRM with full context
Built on: Claude + GPT-4 for messaging Apollo / Clay for enrichment HubSpot or your existing CRM Twilio for SMS, Gmail / Outlook for email
Canterbury
The Timaru context, plainly.
- South Canterbury runs on port logistics, food processing, and dairy – AI here is about coordinating shifts and shipments with fewer phone calls.
- Port of Timaru, food processors, dairy, and a wide trades sector. AI tools that integrate with existing ERP and POS land best.

Talk to us about this →How we build AI outbound sales for a Timaru team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Timaru business, so value lands before the build is finished. Outbound that doesn't sleep.
Talk to usThe outcome for Timaru teams
The shape of the result for Timaru teams: One NZ SaaS team replaced two outbound SDRs with an AI agent + one closer — 3× the meetings booked, same pipeline cost. Built on Claude + GPT-4 for messaging, hardened with the rest of the stack as it scales.
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 Timaru – 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.
Do you have proof this works for Timaru businesses?
Direct case study: One NZ SaaS team replaced two outbound SDRs with an AI agent + one closer — 3× the meetings booked, same pipeline cost. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
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.
