AI SDR & outbound sales agents
AI SDR & Outbound Sales Agents, Run for You.
AI SDR agents built in your accounts and run for you: $2,500 to build the system in 14 days, then $2,500 or $5,000 a month to run it. Verified contacts, email from your own domains, an AI caller that says it is one and dials business landlines where state law allows and consented numbers only, every reply answered in under 60 seconds and sent to your booking link. You own every asset. We have run this for no client yet; the first client will be Paramount, and the weekly numbers from that run, misses included, will be the only proof we quote.
Sold on its own, not inside an install: the Outbound Install, $2,500 in 14 days, then the Outbound Engine from $2,500 a month. Smallest first step: AI Lead Responder, $497.
What gets delivered
Every component, integrated.
- A written ideal-customer profile, two segments at most, and the first 1,500 verified contacts: email-verified, phones kept only where the line is a business landline in a state that allows the call, or consent exists
- Sending infrastructure in your name: secondary domains and inboxes sized to the tier's send volume, SPF, DKIM and DMARC, warm-up started on day one, your postal address and a one-click unsubscribe on every email
- Four-step email sequences per segment, written in your voice from your own material, with a presenter-film step when you already own a film
- An AI voice agent in a workspace registered to you, built for business landlines where state law allows (several states are excluded at launch and counsel reviews the list before the first dial) and numbers whose owners gave prior express written consent, that says it is an AI in its first sentence, offers an opt-out, and records only where the law allows
- The reply handler: every reply answered in under 60 seconds during business hours, interested people sent to your booking link, hand-off notes to your calendar owner
- A pipeline in your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Clio) or a sub-account handed over at exit, with recordings, transcripts and consent records attached to each contact
- The compliance pack: Do Not Call and wireless scrubs run and logged before every batch, an internal suppression list, calling hours by the recipient's time zone, opt-outs honoured across email, SMS and voice
- A weekly report: delivered, bounced, complaints, unsubscribes, replies, positive replies, dials, connects, conversations, meetings held, cost per meeting
How it fits Paramount
AI SDR, sold on its own.
The managed AI outbound market sells scraped lists, a synthetic caller and a lead-count guarantee, and rarely says who owns the infrastructure or on what consent the calls are made. Paramount builds the same engine from parts you own, inside the law as it stands: AI-generated voices have been artificial voices under the TCPA since the FCC's February 2024 ruling, so the agent dials business landlines where state law allows and people who gave prior express written consent, never a consumer's cell phone cold. The inputs are guaranteed in writing and the outputs are reported every week. We do not guarantee meetings; nobody honestly can before the data exists, and ours does not exist yet.
AI SDR is a standalone Paramount service line with two published engagements, sold on its own rather than inside an install. The Outbound Install ($2,500, delivered in 14 days) builds the system in your accounts; sending starts on day 15 at warm-up volume and reaches full volume over weeks three to six. The Outbound Engine runs it: Pilot at $2,500 a month (1,500 new verified contacts, about 6,000 emails, up to 1,000 AI dials and 500 minutes, 300 consented SMS) or Scale at $5,000 a month (5,000 contacts, about 20,000 emails, up to 4,000 dials and 2,000 minutes, 1,000 SMS, 2 presenter-format films and a retargeting audience on your own ad account). 3-month minimum with one exit at day 45, then month to month. Usage above the tier is billed at the published rate card: $0.25 per voice minute, $40 per 1,000 extra verified contacts, $12 per extra inbox a month, $0.03 per SMS segment. The Install credits in full toward an AI Revenue System commissioned within 90 days.

Common questions
AI SDR, answered.
Is this AI cold calling?
It is outbound, and the honest answer has two halves. Email is cold, to business addresses, with your postal address and a one-click unsubscribe on every message, which is what CAN-SPAM requires. Calls are not cold in the robocall sense: the AI dials business landlines where state law allows (several states are excluded at launch and counsel reviews the list before the first dial) and numbers whose owners gave prior express written consent, says it is an AI in its first sentence, and offers an opt-out. We do not place AI calls to consumers' cell phones without that consent, and we do not sell that.
Is AI cold calling legal?
AI-generated voices are artificial voices under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act; the FCC confirmed it in a declaratory ruling adopted in February 2024 (FCC 24-17). An artificial-voice marketing call to a cell phone or a residential line needs the called party's prior express written consent, and the statute has no business-to-business exception. Business landlines sit outside that consent rule and outside the federal Do Not Call Registry (16 CFR §310.6(b)(7)), but inside the Telemarketing Sales Rule's identification and honesty duties, the internal do-not-call rules, and the laws of states such as Florida, Oklahoma, Maryland and Texas that narrow or remove the business exemption, set their own hours and require registration; we scrub every list against the Registry and our suppression list and keep the 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. window in the recipient's time zone anyway, as policy, narrower where a state says so. We launch with US contacts; the UK and the EU require prior consent for any automated marketing call, business or not, and other countries wait for counsel review. Everything we build is consent-first by construction, the scripts and consent language go to your counsel before the first dial, and none of this is legal advice. The FCC ruling and the court decision we cite are on our research page with the primary sources linked.
What does it cost, and what is included?
$2,500 once for the Install, then $2,500 a month at Pilot volume or $5,000 a month at Scale. The Install is the system itself, built in 14 days: the profile and first 1,500 verified contacts, the compliance pack, domains, inboxes, a number, the voice agent, the sequences, the reply handler and the CRM pipeline, all in your accounts. The Engine fee is the running: new contacts every month, the sends, the dials, the replies answered, the scrubs, the list and copy refresh, and the weekly report. The infrastructure inside the fee is published-price software provisioned in your name, so the markup is the rate card on this page and the labour, and nothing else; usage above the tier is billed at that card, never silently.
What do you guarantee?
The inputs, in writing, measured on the weekly report: contacts verified to the stated count; emails delivered with a spam-complaint rate under 0.30% and a bounce rate under 3%; replies answered in under 60 seconds during business hours; Do Not Call and wireless scrubs run and logged before every batch. Any month a guaranteed line is missed, that month's Engine fee is credited. Dials and minutes are published as ceilings per tier, not as guaranteed counts, because a dial needs a callable line and consent. The 3-month minimum carries one exit at day 45: if you want out, month three is never billed and the assets hand over as built. We do not guarantee meetings or revenue. A lead-count promise is only as good as the definition of a lead and the vendor's checkable record; we would rather guarantee what we control and publish the rest.
What do I own?
Everything. The secondary domains, the inboxes, the phone number, the lists, the consent records, the sequences, the agent's script and prompts, the recordings and transcripts, and the CRM data. It is all provisioned in accounts registered to you, with Paramount as an operator, so if you leave at day 45 or in year two everything leaves with you and keeps working.
How fast does it produce anything?
Built in 14 days from the completed onboarding form. Sending starts on day 15 at warm-up volume and reaches full volume over weeks three to six, because inboxes that send at full speed on day one get blocked and we would rather tell you that than learn it on your domain. AI calls to people who asked for one on your consent form start as soon as the form is live; AI calls to business landlines open state by state only after counsel clears the list. As for meetings: the planning ranges we used to set the price are third-party benchmarks from vendor blogs, they disagree with each other, and they are not our results. We have no outbound results of our own yet. The first client will be Paramount: our own run starts with email, consented callbacks and human-placed calls, and its weekly numbers, misses included, will be published before we quote any of them.
What does it run on?
Published-price infrastructure you could buy yourself, provisioned in your name: Retell AI for the voice agent, Google Workspace inboxes on secondary domains sent through Smartlead, Apollo and Clay for contact data and enrichment, Twilio for the number and the registered SMS campaign, your own CRM or a GoHighLevel sub-account handed over at exit, and Claude for research, first lines and reply triage. We publish the vendors because the question of markup deserves an answer: the rate card on this page is the markup, and the hard costs sit in your accounts where you can read the invoices.
How is this different from AI SDR software such as 11x or Artisan?
Those are platforms you operate: you buy seats, your team runs the campaigns, and consent, deliverability and the calling law are your operator's problem. Paramount builds and runs the system for you in your own accounts, prices it monthly with a published rate card and an exit at day 45, and states the legal frame on the page. The software route is right for a team with an operator and annual-contract volume; ours is for firms without an SDR team. 11x's published prices, and Artisan's quoted-only tiers, are on the comparison hub with the source URL and the date we read them.
