Scenarios

What this looks like in real businesses.

Three business shapes we see most often. Costs are computed from €0.40 – €1.20 per lead processed and a fully-loaded Sales Development Representative benchmark.

  1. Scenario 1 · SaaS · 80-250

    Mid-market SaaS with uneven inbound quality

    1,200 leads processed / month

    Situation

    A 180-person SaaS company gets 1,200 inbound leads a month across content downloads, free trials, and demo requests. Rep time is split unevenly — best reps end up on low-fit demos while marketing-qualified inbounds wait for response.

    Agent fit

    SDR Agent activates qualification + demo routing. Every inbound gets ICP-scored within a minute, routed to the right rep band, and rep calendar quality improves visibly.

    Outcome

    Expected outcomes: 15-30% better rep time allocation, sub-minute qualification, qualified-demo rate up, low-fit demo count down. Pipeline quality holds while volume grows.

Extended KPIs

  • Qualification speed

  • Qualified lead rate

  • Rep time allocation lift

How it works

Workflow, systems, and governance.

Workflow summary

Captures lead, applies ICP fit rules, enriches, decides route and urgency, hands off to the right rep or nurture path.

Exceptions

High-potential but incomplete leads route to manual review rather than rejection.

When humans step in

Humans step in on borderline strategic fits, enterprise-tier inbounds, and ambiguous enrichment.

Connected systems

Agent operates inside your CRM, form platform, and enrichment provider. Writes qualification rationale and routing decision back to the lead record.

Data inputs

Lead form fields, enrichment data (company size, role, industry), ICP rules, routing bands. Writes qualification rationale back to CRM.

Decision logic

Uses fit rules and enrichment context to decide route, urgency, and next action.

Readiness

Defined ICP, approved routing bands, CRM write access.

Integrations

Works inside your existing stack.

No new systems to learn. The role connects to the platforms your team already uses.

Questions we get

Frequently asked.

What is the SDR Agent?

An AI role priced per lead processed. It qualifies inbound leads against ICP, enriches them, and routes to the right rep or nurture path. Same scope as a human SDR, priced per action.

How is it priced?

Pure usage: EUR 0.40-1.20 per lead processed. One-time launch fee covers ICP capture, CRM integration, and routing rules.

Does it replace reps?

No. It protects their time. Reps still own discovery, demos, and deals. The agent handles the predictable qualification layer and flags strategic edge cases for rep review.

What CRMs does it work with?

HubSpot and Salesforce as primary. Others possible on request.

How fast does it go live?

Typical 14 days. Faster with a mature ICP definition and clean CRM; slower if ICP needs to be reshaped.

How is it governed?

Every qualification decision is logged with rationale. Borderline strategic cases route to humans. Limited-risk posture under the EU AI Act.
