All AI employee roles

An AI sales development rep that fills your pipeline without a base salary

Outbound is a numbers game that eats time: finding prospects, researching them, writing personalized outreach, and following up relentlessly. An SDR is expensive and takes months to ramp. This stack automates the mechanical parts — building targeted lists, drafting personalized first-touch and follow-up sequences, and keeping your CRM current — so you spend your time on the conversations that matter, not the prep. The honest limits: it does not replace real selling. Discovery calls, handling objections, and closing are human work, and spraying generic AI outreach will hurt your reputation, so the template teaches genuine personalization, not spam. Those boundaries are spelled out below. The prices for every tool are live from our catalogue with dated evidence, and the $99 one-time setup unlocks the plan that sets up the sequences and CRM flow; an optional $29/month subscription keeps it current.

AI stack vs hiring — what you'd keep

Compare the yearly cost of a hire against the AI tool stack that does the repetitive work.

Hiring: Sales development rep$88,075 / year
AI stack (Real Estate Agent)$1,107+ / year

This stack includes usage-based pricing, so the exact monthly cost depends on volume — see the live prices below.

This compares cost only, and deliberately understates hiring (it excludes recruiting, onboarding, equipment, software, and management overhead). An AI stack does specific tasks with your oversight — it doesn't replace judgment, relationships, or accountability. The plan is a one-time cost added to year one.

What an AI sales development rep can't do

The honest limits. This is a tool with your oversight, not a person.

  • Run a real discovery call or handle live objections.
  • Close a deal — that's relationship and judgment work.
  • Replace genuine personalization; generic AI spam damages your brand.
  • Understand a complex buyer's politics without your read on the room.
  • Guarantee meetings — it increases quality volume, not certainty.

Questions about an AI sales development rep

Isn't AI outreach just spam?

It becomes spam when it's lazy and generic. The template is built around real personalization — using genuine details — and modest volume, because that's what actually gets replies.

Does it integrate with my CRM?

Yes, the stack connects to common CRMs to log activity and keep records current. Setup is in the template.

Will it call people?

This stack focuses on research, written outreach, and follow-up. Live calls stay human — that's where you win deals.

And what does Dapols cost?

The tool prices on this page are paid to those vendors, monthly, for as long as you use them. This is the separate — and much smaller — cost of the plan that works out which of them you actually need and wires them together.

$99

once, to unlock your plan

The tools, the prompts, the connectors and the order to set them up in, customized to your answers and reviewed by a person before it reaches you. It does not renew, and we keep no card for a later charge.
$29

a month, optional and later

Only if you want the plan kept current as these prices move. We ask about a month in — you start it, we never start it for you, and stopping it leaves the plan you bought exactly as it is.
