Wānaka businesses don't need another generic AI pitch. AI lead generation only earns its keep when it's built around the workflow you actually run on a wet Tuesday, and that's how we scope every engagement we take on in Otago.

Our field notes from Wānaka builds.
- Wānaka has the boom-and-shoulder rhythm of a lifestyle town – AI here helps small teams handle big seasonal swings without burning out.
- Tourism, hospitality, lifestyle property, and trades feeding constant builds. AI shines when it lets a small operator look like a big one.
We work with teams across Wānaka: Wānaka township · Albert Town · Hāwea · Cardrona · Lake Hāwea.
Talk to us about this →How we build AI lead generation for a Wānaka team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Wānaka business, so value lands before the build is finished. Get me new leads.
Talk to usThe outcome for Wānaka teams
We'd call the engagement a success when Wānaka teams are using the system without thinking about us. 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
How fast could we have AI lead generation in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Wānaka 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's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Wānaka businesses that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
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 Wānaka 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.
