Sales AI Agent
Why do AI copilots create insight but not booked meetings?
💡TL;DR
A Sales AI Agent is the doer, not just the scribe. It handles repetitive outreach, meeting booking, and follow-ups, escalating to humans for edge cases. For SMBs, it extends coverage to off-hours and low-priority leads without adding headcount.
Definition
An autonomous or semi-autonomous agent that executes sales tasks—responding to inbound, booking meetings, drafting replies—within guardrails, not just suggesting actions.
🏢What This Means for SMB Teams
Small teams miss nights/weekends. An agent keeps pipeline warm 24/7 while humans focus on live calls.
Detect /pricing revisits, email clicks, buying signals your CRM misses.
24/7 monitoring turns silent intent into revenue action.
📋Practical Example
エージェントがインバウンドメールに2分で返信し、カレンダー3枠を提示。未返信ならSMSでリマインド、返信が来たらAEに引き継ぎ。夜間リードのミーティング設定率が7%→26%、全体の応答時間中央値が58分→6分に。
🔧Implementation Steps
- 1
Define guardrails: tone, offer limits, escalation rules.
- 2
Start with low-risk flows (demo scheduling, FAQ replies) before outbound prospecting.
- 3
Instrument human-in-the-loop for intent/risk flags.
- 4
Measure booking rate, CSAT, and error rate weekly.
❓Frequently Asked Questions
Will it go off-script?
Use constrained generation, approved templates, and confidence thresholds that route low-confidence cases to humans.
How to keep compliance?
Pre-approve phrases, log every message, and run periodic red-team tests against policy.
