Most of our Whakatāne 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.

How we build AI outbound sales 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. Outbound that doesn't sleep.
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. 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
How long does AI outbound sales take to ship for Whakatāne businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real Whakatāne businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Do you have proof this works for Whakatāne 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.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI outbound sales into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Claude + GPT-4 for messaging sits in your account too – we don't operate it from ours.
The honest version of a sales call.
No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
