Case study

B2B sales calls with an AI voice agent

AI voice agent that calls companies on a list, holds the conversation until a meeting is booked and hands the information to a team member through a custom CRM.

Project

From cold call to booked meeting

First calls to companies on a list take up a lot of the sales team’s time, and much of it goes to contacts that never move forward. The goal was for an AI voice agent to handle that first conversation until a meeting was booked, with a person taking over from there.
01

Challenge

Call B2B company lists and get to a meeting without every call depending on someone in the team being available.

02

Approach

Contact import from Excel, an OpenAI voice agent that talks to each company and n8n workflows that log the outcome in the client’s custom CRM.

03

Outcome

The agent calls, talks until a meeting is booked, and the information reaches a team member who takes it from there.

Project workflow: list import, OpenAI voice agent call, booked meeting and handover to a sales rep via n8n and a custom CRM
Simplified workflow: the voice agent talks until a meeting is booked and a team member takes over from there.
Technology

A stack chosen for the problem

OpenAI gives the agent its voice and conversational ability, n8n orchestrates the steps between import, calls and the client’s custom CRM, and Excel import lets the team keep working with the lists it already had. More on AI integrations.

Impact

AI on the phone, inside the process

The value is not only that AI talks, but that it does so inside the existing workflow: from the starting list to the CRM where the team follows up.

Calls without waiting

The agent calls without depending on the team’s schedule.

Booked meetings

The conversation moves forward until a meeting is set.

Handover to a person

Each meeting’s details reach the team to continue.

Connected workflows

n8n logs every outcome in the custom CRM.

Outcomes

What changed in phone prospecting

This case is anonymised, so we do not publish client figures. These are the changes the platform brought.

Fewer cold calls

Before: the team made every first call. Now: an AI voice agent makes them.

Meetings, not just contacts

Before: many calls to land one meeting. Now: the agent talks until it is booked.

Connected process

Before: loose notes after each call. Now: everything reaches the CRM via n8n.

Time better spent

Before: hours on contacts that went nowhere. Now: the team steps in once a meeting is set.
