01 · The model

What the volume produces, at three booking rates

One input drives the difference between these columns: the rate at which a contacted prospect books a meeting. Everything else is held constant. The expected column is the one every figure in this document is built on.

Year one outcomeConservative0.25% booking rateExpected0.4% booking rateAspirational0.6% booking rate

The assumptions behind every number above

  • Prospects contacted per month7,000

    Ava works seven thousand prospects a month across the six segments.

  • Meeting booking rate0.4%

    Conservative 0.25%, expected 0.4%, aspirational 0.6%.

  • Meeting to SQL rate70%

    Share of booked meetings that qualify as sales qualified leads.

  • SQL to closed won rate33%

    Set from your HubSpot stage-one to closed-won rate.

  • Average contract value$10,000

    Held at a round ten thousand dollars for every column above.

  • Artisan annual cost$54,000

    Pro tier, annual. $4,500 a month, with no other line items.

02 · Ramp

Month one is not month three

The table above is stated at full run rate. Getting there takes a few weeks, and this is what those weeks look like.

  1. Month 1

    Onboarding and configuration

    HubSpot connected, segments defined, knowledge base and messaging built. Campaigns launch in week three, so output is close to zero.

    0% of run rate

  2. Month 2

    Ava learns from reply data

    First real meeting volume as messaging tightens against actual replies from your database.

    50% of run rate

  3. Month 3

    Full run rate

    All six segments running. Month over month compounding begins.

    100% of run rate

  4. Month 4 onward

    Steady state

    Output holds at the run rate modeled in section one, with segments re-worked as new leads fall into them.

03 · Why Ava, and not a sequence

Same stack, better messages

HubSpot stays the system of record and Gong stays the coaching layer. Ava does not replace either one. She adds the execution layer neither of them provides, and she writes better messages than either can, because she is reading the record rather than filling in a template.

  • HubSpot sequences

    A person writes every sequence, enrolls every list, and works every reply. Copy is written once for a whole segment, so it cannot reference the accounting system or the closed-lost reason on an individual record. That is the exact constraint the six segments are failing on today.

  • Gong

    Strong at coaching and at surfacing what happened on a call. It does not go and reopen six thousand conversations a month, and its suggested copy is still generic to the play, not to the account.

  • Ava, Artisan's AI BDR

    Flat annual cost. Connects to HubSpot and the existing stack in onboarding, then writes, sends, handles replies, and books meetings across all six segments at once, on autopilot, at seven thousand prospects a month.

    $54,000

At the expected column, $776,160 of closed won revenue against $54,000 of cost is a 14x return in year one, before any second year where the ramp is already behind you.

04 · What we would launch

Live in week two

Messaging is written off Property Meld's own HubSpot fields rather than scraped from websites, so outreach keeps the relevance approach the team already uses: lead with the known pain in their accounting system.

  1. Week 1

    Foundation

    Kickoff, HubSpot connected, the six segments pulled as live lists, accounting system and closed-lost reason fields mapped into messaging, sending domains warming.

  2. Week 2

    First two segments live

    High value conversation and needs scheduled launch with message approval on, so Nick reviews quality before Ava runs autonomously.

  3. Week 3

    Closed lost segments live

    Closed lost no demo and old closed lost launch, each written off the closed-lost reason already on the deal.

  4. Week 4

    Stale accounts and A list live

    The remaining two segments launch, including same day follow-up when engagement fires. Weekly review of meetings booked by segment begins.

  5. Ongoing

    Review by segment

    Meetings, SQLs, and pipeline reported by segment, so volume moves toward what converts and the rest gets retired.

Onboarding Ava the AI BDR

Live in weeks, not quarters. Warmed mailboxes, campaigns built on your own data, and Ava running outreach on autopilot.

  1. Day 0

    1Kickoff invite and Slack channel

    A welcome email from your CSM with a link to book the kickoff, and a shared Slack channel with your CSM, our support team, and your AE.

  2. First few days

    2Guided setup in the platform

    Senders and signatures, mailboxes and domains, your CRM, do-not-contact lists, your customer list, and the website visitor script.

  3. Week 1

    3Architecting your GTM strategy, live

    Not a demo and not a training call. Your CSM arrives with campaigns already drafted from research on your market, and you build them out together on the call.

  4. Week 1

    4Launch on your primary mailbox

    Your existing domain is already warm, so your first campaign sends from it while new secondary domains warm in the background.

  5. Weeks 1 to 3

    5Refine and warm up

    Integrations connected, your coaching points added so Ava writes like your team, and more campaigns built while domains finish warming.

  6. Weeks 3 to 4

    6Five or more campaigns live

    Campaigns running across buying signals, website visitors, CRM leads, inbound leads, and cold leads. The mix across categories is what drives replies.

  7. Month 2 onward

    7Ongoing optimization

    Your CSM keeps track of what results moved and what needs your input, and messaging and targeting get tuned from what real replies show.
