The version of AI outreach that works for a Whakatāne business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates – usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.

Talk to us about this →How we build AI outreach 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. Outreach at human quality, machine scale.
Talk to usThe outcome for Whakatāne teams
We'd call the engagement a success when Whakatāne teams are using the system without thinking about us. Replaced a 3-person outreach team for an NZ infrastructure consultancy — 5× the volume, same close rate.
Not your typical AI agency.
Honest about what AI can and cannot do
Ships the one workflow that pays for itself

Questions
FAQ
When does AI outreach 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.
What's the realistic outcome for Whakatāne businesses?
Replaced a 3-person outreach team for an NZ infrastructure consultancy — 5× the volume, same close rate. 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 outreach can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude for message generation, LinkedIn / Smartlead / Instantly for delivery, Apollo + Clay for enrichment, Custom guardrails for tone and compliance but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
