The problems with 11x

You pay before you see results

You pay before you see results

11x is demo-only, annual contracts, enterprise pricing. You sign for a year and pay up front, before it has booked a single meeting.

You'll still need other tools

You'll still need other tools

11x only covers pieces of your outbound. Artisan runs the whole motion: data, prospecting, personalization, sending, replies, dialing, and booking.

It can't grow your existing accounts

It can't grow your existing accounts

11x is built for net-new prospecting. It won't grow the customers you already have, no cross-sell, no upsell, no expansion.

How Ava runs outbound
autonomously

Set your outbound strategy once. Ava finds the leads, runs the campaigns, and books the meetings.

1

She finds and prioritizes high-intent leads

Search 250M+ verified B2B contacts or import from your CRM. Ava enriches prospects using 22+ data sources, then prioritizes them by likelihood to convert using intent signals like funding rounds and leadership hires.

2

She launches personalized multi-channel sequences

Ava sends personalized multi-channel outreach across email and social. She queues call steps in the native dialer so your reps can click and dial without leaving the platform.

3

She tests and optimizes messaging automatically

Ava runs dozens of message variations per campaign simultaneously, testing subject lines, structure, CTAs, and tone. She shifts volume toward what's working so performance compounds over time.

4

She handles replies and books meetings autonomously

Ava handles every reply. She qualifies interested leads, handles objections, and books meetings directly on your reps' calendars. You set escalation rules to decide when a human gets pulled in.

An AI sales agent is AI-powered software that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate the outbound sales process, including prospecting, lead qualification, outreach, follow-ups, and CRM updates. For example, Ava runs complete sales workflows autonomously and books meetings so your sales reps can focus on closing deals.

Artisan runs your entire outbound motion in one platform, from data and prospecting to replies, dialing, and booking, with a free trial and self-serve setup in about 10 minutes. You see Ava work before you commit, instead of starting with a sales call and an annual contract.

No. Start a 30-day free trial, self-serve, from $250/mo, no credit card to begin. Most teams are live in about 10 minutes.

Fully autonomous by default. You set your campaign goals, Ava handles everything else — prospecting, outreach, replies, and booking — powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning. If you want more control while you build trust, you can require approvals at any stage.

Ava is free to start. You can explore the platform and see her in action before committing to a paid plan.

Yes. Ava runs cold outbound plus cross-sell, upsell, and expansion using your CRM and product data, so you grow the customers you already have, not just chase new logos.

No. B2B data, local business data, intent signals, campaign management, deliverability, and a built-in dialer are all included, so there's nothing extra to wire up.

You can onboard immediately and start sending from your primary mailbox on day one. You can also use social and other non-email channels right away.

Ava sends from your team's email addresses. To prospects, it looks like outreach from your company.

Yes. Ava reads replies, handles objections, answers questions, and schedules meetings directly on your team's calendar to streamline the sales process. Your reps only talk to qualified, interested prospects.

No. Ava cannot legally make calls, she creates a list of qualified prospects for your reps to dial and shows full context and talking points on each lead.

You can review and approve all outreach before it goes out. Most teams start with approvals enabled, then go fully autonomous once they trust Ava's judgment.

Ava integrates with Salesforce and HubSpot and syncs data in real time so your team always has an up-to-date view of every contact and account.
