We've worked with enough operators in Whakatāne to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any AI lead generation project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.

Bay of Plenty
Where Whakatāne operators actually lose hours.
- Eastern Bay of Plenty runs on horticulture, aquaculture, and Māori-led enterprise – AI here works when it respects relationships first.
- Kiwifruit, aquaculture, marine tourism, and a strong iwi economy. AI tools that work offline and bilingually find their home here.

Talk to us about this →How we build AI lead generation for a Whakatāne team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Whakatāne business, so value lands before the build is finished. Get me new leads.

Questions
FAQ
When does AI lead generation 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 Whakatāne – 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 Whakatāne businesses?
Direct case study: An NZ B2B software company built a 300-lead/week pipeline on autopilot – entire SDR seat returned. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI lead generation can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude for ICP scoring + research, Apollo, Clay, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, NZ Companies Office data, HubSpot / Salesforce / Pipedrive but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
