Hi there,

Let’s say a business finalize an agreement and you’re going to build a custom voice agent for that particular business, do you build the voice agent within your retell, vapi, etc account and manage it from there or each client has their own retell account?

Because if they have their own account and access to it, then was the reason to pay you a monthly retainer? They can just abandon any time they want.

Hi there,

I have a Web design agency and we sell websites to local businesses in the US, I recently thought of starting cold email campaigns but I’m currently struggling with building the target list.

So my initial thought was that blasting 1000 emails to generic info@ or contact@ would not be a good idea unless that particular business is a 1-3 people operation or I might be wrong.

But what about bigger companies? How do you find the decision makers email address and then make sure that this is the destination that your email should land at.

I also read a lot of posts for people are complaining about the inaccuracy of databases of platforms like Apollo, Apify etc

Another thing is that I’ve tried cold calling and my opener line was that if I were talking to the owner, if not I was asking them to transfer to the owner or directing manager and a lot of receptionists declined

So I would highly appreciate if you can share your thoughts and experiences

Hey there,

I sell tour packages to US customers through Facebook ads, and I’m currently using instant forms with three question about the estimated travel date, the length of the travel, and number of travelers which gives me enough data to follow up properly.

The lead quality is decent at first when I publish the campaign but after a couple days it goes trash, I’m not able to reach out to last majority of them.

Would you recommend switching to website leads meaning that the conversion happen within the website or landing page instead of instant forms?

Currently my cost per lead is between $5-$12 and he was wondering how much do you think it will increase percentage wise if I switch to website leads? And I bet the quality will go higher as well?

Running a one-person business I find myself working on website, marketing, cold outreach, support, admin etc

I’ve been using AI tools to offload some of this but want to hear from others doing the same.

What have you managed to fully or partially automate, and which tools did you use for it? Especially interested in what gave you the biggest time savings.

Hi there,

I still can’t figure out how to structure my pricing for different businesses.

1. Flat set up fee + monthly retainer
2. Only flat setup fee

How much you guys are currently charging dental clinics and home service businesses? Cause I believe there should be a big difference.

And lastly, do you charge different features as add-ons or the AI receptionist has basically all features that a business needs a new charge based on that?

Would really appreciate some guidance and thoughts.
