What is the best way to demo an AI agent to a prospect?
Votel recommends building the demo live:
- Click Create an agent, choose to start with a website, and enter the prospect's website. The AI crawls it and builds an agent that knows their business, facts and FAQs.
- Click Test and talk to it yourself with a couple of questions (about two turns).
- Put it on mute and ask the prospect what they think. They have just heard an AI answer the phone as their own business.
Do not rely on the prospect to role play a customer with an AI that calls them: many freeze, hang up or ask odd questions. Business owners also want to hear from a person that AI calling works for their kind of business.
If they are excited, stop selling and go to pricing, since showing more features overloads them. If they dislike the voice, there are over 10,000 voices, or you can clone their own voice. Common objections are languages and integrations. Do not go down a rabbit hole on whether the system connects to a tool you have not heard of: the system can do pretty much anything, it is a matter of how rather than if, and you can research the connection after the sale by asking the AI assistant.
