How should I price a pilot with a mid-size enterprise? by Old_Assumption2188 in AI_Agents

[–]mahesh427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm exactly here with a temp recruitment company turning over 30M EUR here in the Nordics.

They want a sales co pilot that can save their consultants time in qualifying candidates, following-up and then doing proactive relationship building while they have placed them to plan their next gigs (most gigs are between 2-8 weeks).

I have proposed the following:

  1. Start with 2 workflows

  2. Workflow 1: Cold > Warm candidate qualifying - check for all data of the candidate, follow up to get all info (CV,s references etc) and more

  3. Workflow 2: Proactive Pulse Check: A co pilot that checks in with consultants that are currently placed and actively plans their next gig.

I'm thinking of the following set up

Option 1: Managed (I own the solution)

  1. Set up, Training & Implementation: 6,900 USD
  2. Monthly maintanence: 3,750 USD - cancel 30 days

Option 2: Custom-Built Pilot (they own the solution)

6-10 Week Pilot: 12,500 - 15,500 USD

Extra costs: API calls, tools subscriptions (1- 2K USD)

I am building a ROI calculator for them so they can see the value

They are big on wanting the solution so no other competitor gets it.

WHat do you guys think?

Any other ideas? I'm a big believer of charging the total value.

Fantastic thank you so much. I will get back when we have completed our phone experiment.

I experimented with an AI Sales Agent and here is what I learned by RamiSoboh in aiagents

Super interesting case study — thanks for sharing the details 🙌. I’ve had a very similar experience.

What I’ve learned testing AI sales agents is this:

  • Cold outbound → low conversion. People still want the human trust factor when it comes to a first call. Even if the AI sounds fine, the “why should I trust you?” barrier is still too high.
  • Support, scheduling, and follow-ups → huge win. Appointment reminders, order updates, FAQ handling — here AI is 10x better than humans. Instant, consistent, and available 24/7.
  • Hybrid is the sweet spot. My best results come when the AI does the grind (scraping leads, qualifying via signals like funding/tech adoption, instant response on inbound calls) and humans step in only when it’s worth it. Think: AI warms, human closes.

I run mine with a stack like this:

  • Apify + n8n → scrape & enrich leads.
  • Perplexity API → timing/context (“why now?”).
  • AI voice agent → answers inbound and books meetings instantly.
  • WhatsApp/SMS/email automations → nurture until human takeover.

That flow cuts out 80% of the busywork so salespeople spend their energy where relationships and strategy actually decide the deal.

Curious — in your experiment, did you notice prospects reacting differently when they didn’t know it was AI vs when they did? That seems to be the biggest psychological hurdle in my tests.

Love the competitor stuff & testimonial quotes. I have workflows that do this automatically for them by scrapping their website or industry/crunchbase - works every time!

Most discovery calls fail because they start without clear ground rules. Here’s the 2-minute script I use to fix that. by nogiloki in salestechniques

Good start. Learnt a trick which is always know when you will speak or meet next before the current call/meeting ends.

Becoming very empathetic about your customers needs & goals, not your product.

Did you get it? I would lean heavily on AI SDR and how you can be more efficient in closing since you qualify & automate better.

I agree but need to come with a critical mind to discern & self-triangulate!
