AI SDRs: Your Always-On Sales Engines

An AI SDR (Artificial Intelligence Sales Development Representative) acts as an AI solution that takes over all the manual and repetitive tasks a human SDR would traditionally do.

While AI SDRs are good for demand capture, they’re especially valuable for account-based workflows that nurture demand in prospects that aren’t ready to book a meeting.

SDRx is an AI SDR purpose-built for account-based sales, nurturing your high-ACV deals across multiple channels and over several weeks. It builds targeted lists, conducts deep account research, and crafts personalized outreach and follow-ups tailored to each stakeholder’s journey.

Today, Sales Outreach is Manual and Time-Consuming

Lead Sourcing Is Time-Consuming and Inefficient

Sales reps often spend significant time manually applying filters in lead databases, extracting lists, cleaning and enriching contact data, and validating information before outreach. This tedious process takes away time from making calls and slows down the overall sales workflow.

Account Research Eats Into Outreach Time

Sales reps can spend up to two hours researching a single account, gathering details from multiple sources. This eats into time for outreach, making it harder to stay on top of sales activities. Many struggle to balance personalization and scale - and in trying to do both, end up doing neither. Overwhelmed, they often skip research and send generic outreach that fails to connect.

Personalization vs. Scale: A Constant Trade-Off

Writing personalized emails for every prospect can take up a significant portion of a rep’s day. Without proper tools, they either use generic templates or spend hours crafting emails for every cohort, diverting time from other important tasks. This often leads to slower outreach, fewer touches, and lost opportunities to engage prospects at scale.

AI SDRs- The End-to-End
Solution for Creating Pipeline With Personalized 1:1 Sales Outreach

AI SDRs go beyond basic automation, using real-time data and buyer signals to prioritize leads and tailor outreach, so you engage the right prospects at the right time.

3

Create Highly Personalized and Relevant Sales Outreach
AI SDRs create 1:1 messages for every prospect, referencing their unique needs and context. This level of personalization increases engagement and builds trust from the very first touch.

Admin Work Automation

Most SDRs spend most of their day on manual admin tasks - like list building, research, updating CRMs, and sending follow-ups. AI SDRs automate these repetitive processes, so your team can focus on high-value activities.

AI SDRs Own Email as a Channel

Writing personalized emails at scale isn’t realistic for human reps, who often rely on templates and minimal research. AI SDRs conduct in-depth prospect research and craft personalized 1:1 emails tailored to each prospect’s unique context.

Human Reps Own Calling as a Channel

Most SDRs spend only a small portion of their day actually making calls-despite cold calling being the highest-converting outbound channel. With AI SDRs handling other selling activities, reps are free to dedicate more time and energy to calling.

Static Cadences to Signal-Based Follow-Ups

Traditional sales cadences follow a rigid schedule - email on day 1, call on day 3 - regardless of how a prospect is actually engaging. AI SDRs break this pattern. Instead of sticking to a fixed sequence, they monitor real-time account signals and adjust follow-up timing, frequency, and messaging based on the signals it captures.

Comprehensive Signal Tracking

AI SDRs go far beyond tracking simple actions like email opens-they monitor hundreds of account-level signals such as tech stack changes, hiring trends, funding rounds, and content engagement. They use these signals to create messages tailored to each prospect’s current priorities.

Deep Account Research

AI SDRs monitor insights from multiple sources -like recent news, company changes, and 10-K reports, so every outreach is grounded in up-to-date, relevant context.

Business Case Creation

AI SDRs personalize your outreach using the in-depth research conducted. They combine the identified pain points with your value proposition to build a relevant business case.

The Challenge : In large sales teams, it’s difficult for every rep to get individualized coaching or experiment with new outreach strategies.
