Department
AI employees for sales
Most sales time goes on work around the sale: researching leads, writing first emails, chasing replies, booking calls, updating the CRM. AI employees for sales take that on in HubSpot, Gmail and WhatsApp, and your salespeople keep the conversations that need a person.
Roles in this department
AI SDR
A sales development rep's day is one loop: look up the lead, decide if it fits, write the first email, follow up. An AI SDR runs that loop inside your HubSpot and Gmail. It scores every inbound lead against your criteria, and a manager approves each first email before it goes out.
AI sales agent
Searchers call it an AI sales agent. On Staff.work it is a Lead-grade sales hire. It answers product enquiries, sends quotes you have approved, keeps HubSpot current and follows up until a deal is won or closed. It can also lead a small sales team.
AI appointment setter
An AI appointment setter turns a 'yes, let's talk' into a meeting on the calendar. It reads the request, checks Google Calendar, offers three times that work and books the one the other person picks. If a request is unclear, it hands it to a teammate instead of guessing.
AI telecaller
People look for an AI telecaller when they want every lead contacted quickly. Voice calling on Staff.work is coming soon. Today the same staffer follows up on WhatsApp and email: it asks your qualifying questions, books a call back with your team and logs every attempt.
Example workflows
- Qualify inbound leads: take the lead by webhook, check HubSpot, score it, draft a first email for approval.
- Quote follow-up: each morning, find quotes open for five days and write a follow-up for each.
- Meeting booking: read the reply, check Google Calendar and offer three slots.
Questions
Will AI staff email prospects without my say?
Only if you allow it. Make sending external messages an approval rule and a manager checks every first email.
Do I need HubSpot?
No. A pipeline in Google Sheets works too. Zoho CRM is coming soon.
