Honest Breakdown of Each Option

We're not going to pretend every option is terrible. Here's the real picture.

Hiring a Salesperson ($4,000+/mo)

What's Good

  • Real human conversations
  • Can handle complex situations
  • Represents your brand in person

What's Not

  • $4,000-$6,000/mo salary + benefits + tools
  • Takes 2-4 weeks to hire and train
  • Average sales rep tenure: 18 months, then you start over
  • Inconsistent: bad days, sick days, vacation days
  • Often wants 20-40% commission on top of salary
When it makes sense: When you need someone in the field, face to face. For pure phone outreach? AI is faster, cheaper, and more consistent.

Outsourced Call Center ($3,000+/mo)

What's Good

  • Removes calling from your plate
  • Can scale up quickly

What's Not

  • $3,000-$5,000/mo minimum contracts
  • Agents don't know your business or industry
  • Scripts are generic, not customized
  • High turnover means constant retraining
  • Quality varies wildly from call to call
  • Long contracts, hard to cancel
When it makes sense: For very high-volume operations with big budgets and dedicated managers. For a 5-person shop where you are the owner AND the sales team? Way too expensive and impersonal.

Do It Yourself ($0/mo)

What's Good

  • No direct cost
  • You know your business best
  • Full control over every conversation

What's Not

  • 3-4 hours of cold calling every day
  • Burns you out within weeks
  • Time spent calling = time NOT spent serving customers
  • Can't scale past your own hours in the day
  • Most small business owners stop after a few weeks
When it makes sense: When you're just starting and have zero budget. But the moment you can afford $199/mo, your time is better spent elsewhere.

CallsForMe AI ($199-$1,299/mo)

What's Good

  • Custom AI caller trained for YOUR industry
  • Custom CRM included at no extra cost
  • Works 12 hours a day, 7 days a week
  • Never burns out, never quits, always consistent
  • Books appointments directly to your calendar
  • No contracts, cancel anytime
  • Performance guarantees on every plan

What's Not

  • AI can't handle every complex scenario (flags these for you)
  • New product, still in early access
Bottom line: Built from the ground up for businesses with 1-20 employees. No IT department needed. No training manuals. Enterprise-level tools at a price you can actually afford. Enterprise tools require enterprise teams. We don't.
