Outbound sales is the engine of growth for most SMEs, but it's also one of the most expensive and time-consuming activities. Researching prospects, crafting personalized messages, managing follow-ups, and tracking pipeline—each step requires human attention and expertise. But what if you could scale your sales operations 10x without scaling your costs? That's exactly what AI sales agents like Wolf enable.
The Sales Scaling Problem
Every SME faces the same challenge: to grow revenue, you need more sales activity. But scaling sales traditionally means:
- Hiring more sales reps (expensive and time-consuming)
- Increasing workload on existing reps (leads to burnout and lower quality)
- Outsourcing to agencies (expensive and less control)
The result? Most SMEs hit a ceiling where growth requires disproportionate investment. You can't afford to scale, but you can't grow without scaling.
AI sales agents change this equation entirely. Wolf can research prospects, craft personalized messages, manage follow-up sequences, and track pipeline—all automatically, at scale, while maintaining the personalization that wins deals.

Getting Started with Sales Automation

Craft Your Message Templates: Start with templates that reflect your brand voice and value proposition. Wolf will personalize these, but good templates are the foundation.
Set Clear Rules: Define when Wolf should escalate to your team, what constitutes a qualified lead, and how to handle different types of responses.
