Artisan

“The artisan Monaco agent force emails. They're all better than a human, which is all that really matters today as we record this, right? They're better than 99% of humans. But they're not great like that RepliDeck. None of them are great.”

“Some of these vendors here guys are doing millions per week and didn't even exist last year or barely existed last year. Okay. They're doing millions per week in new revenue, not because that the leads contacts and opportunity tabs are prettier or have purple …”

“Until we deployed our own, and we're going to talk more about whether this is too many, our four to five AISDRs, Artisan, Qualified, Monaco, Agent Force, and probably more to come.”

“For the most part, we are using the current four third-party agents that we use, right? We are using Agent Force from Salesforce, Qualified, which Salesforce is buying. We're using Artisan, which we use all the time as a core outbound agent. And recently we've…”

“I will tell you, we've sent this is just artisan, but it's sent 40,000 messages. Okay, I think our qualified is later on this deck that's sent like a 100,000 messages because that's an inbound. And then with Salesforce, we're probably close to like 200,000 mes…”

“We haven't found anyone that can integrate Asian force artisan qualified Monaco. Momentum. Attention. Attentive. Like we don't, there's nothing out there today, even with Tentay, which we built ourselves that at some magical API or other level can integrate ev…”

“You can't, you, it just can't afford to wait a whole week, or like you're, or you're probably just wasting, honestly, you're probably wasting your money if you don't spend the time to do it daily, because a lot of these are waiting for you to give it inputs, r…”

“Or take over all of like two people did for like each of Artisan and Monaco and qualified. They replaced like two, two people each, right? That's high ROI.”

“Startups like artisan and qualified and clay, they're expensive, man. They're like a hundred grand to start.”

“They did two million last month. It's two million bucks up from, you know, nothing, 12 months ago.”

“We are using, for example, for outbound, we use Asian force artisan and qualified. We use three and we may add more. We're just basically taking our Salesforce database and giving each of them a portion of it.”

“If you can go do this, pick any tool, pick, pick Agent Force, pick Qualified, pick Artisan, pick whatever you want. If you can go do this and get it live into production, you're hyper employable. All the companies you talked about that need a GTM person, they …”

“So we picked a YC company called Artisan. They've gone like from like nothing to ten million this year.”

“For artisan, that one has, it actually went up, it's about a six percent overall response rate now. You know, average for normal SDR is two to four.”

“I think for self-serve models or things that have a lower ASP, I think it's a big oversight that I see a lot of companies, they roll out things like a qualified even, or like an artisan, and they don't let it sell. They're like, oh, you know, I'm gonna book a …”

“We have 20 in production. Here's the thing. This includes Replit. This includes Opus. This includes Agent Force and Artisan and Qualified, all the tools we love to death.”

“Overall our outbound with the AI is almost a seven percent overall response rate, which is, you know, kind of double just overall averages across anything you'll see from all any, you know, tool that does sequences and outreach of four percent positive respons…”

“To this point, if we're six months in, I have, 99% of the contacts are ours.”

“On two of the ones we use artisan for outbound and qualified for inbound of all their customers, this is the most important thing. We're the number one vendor. Number one results.”

“So in the last hundred days, It's done about 15,000 messages.”

“I do know Jasper from artisan says that's coming by end of year, but right now you just put it in yourself, you know, pick the best pain points, improve points.”

“There's no way you're going to build an artisan, a Salesforce, a gamma. You could build the little bits of it. I mean, there's just no way there's too many man hours”

“We made a switch from product led to sales led and that just unlocked so much growth for us. Like when we were product led, our app has a long time to value. So if you actually want to see results from using an AI VDR, you have to put your time in in the begin…”

“The first thousand signups that we got were from rage baiting posts on Reddit, where we were just like emphasizing that we didn't have any products and that we'd raised like a funding round.”

“We raised a 1.5 million pre-seed at a fifty million valuation with no products and no team.”

“Like HubSpot is one of our investors and they build back things for us as well.”

“Everything that was overflow from what I had to do, she gonna take some, which I think is a lot more helpful than hiring a specific marketing growth, whatever it might be role early on. Because you have more flexibility about what that workload ends up looking…”

“Reddit, we had slowed down on a bit. We don't do as much now, mostly because I got banned from most of the subreddits for self-promotion”

“If their CV is messed up in any way, or if they're missing full stops at the end of sentences, then it's a no go.”

“So I can't remember the exact numbers, but for example, in the last 30 days, we've closed 500 K of ARR.”

“Probably about 40% now. We basically stopped using our product before because we had too much inbound.”

“The AE's now disqualified before a meeting, if they look at their website and it's just like terrible, but we're doing it more and more now just because otherwise it's just, you'd see ourselves in the foot down the way.”
