AI SDR FAQs

What is an AI SDR?

An AI SDR is a voice agent that handles a sales rep's first call. It calls each new lead, asks your qualifying questions, saves the answers to your CRM, and books qualified leads into a rep's calendar.

Can an AI SDR make outbound calls?

Yes. The agent calls the leads your team gives it, one at a time or in batches of up to 5,000.

Does an AI SDR update my CRM?

Yes. Connect the agent to your CRM, and choose which fields it updates and how it matches records.

What happens when a lead is not a fit?

The agent records the outcome, can point the lead to your self-serve options, and ends the call politely, so only qualified leads reach your reps.

Can the agent transfer a lead to a rep?

Yes. The agent can transfer calls to your team, and you control exactly when it does.

How should we measure an AI SDR?

Evaluate the agent against your key success criteria. For example, you can measure what percentage of leads it qualifies, or what percentage of calls result in a booked meeting.

Can I use an AI SDR for cold calling?

The agent can dial a list your team supplies, including in batches of up to 5,000. In the US, the FCC treats AI-voice calls as artificial-voice calls under the TCPA. They need the person's prior express consent, and written consent for marketing calls. You own the list, the consent, and the calling rules that apply to it. Read our guide to AI cold calling.

How much does an AI SDR cost?

Agents are $0.03 per minute through December 31, 2026.
