outbound call automation for B2C companies

telli is building AI voice agents that convert leads into sales opportunities for B2C companies. For example, a leading home-buying platform is using telli to fully automate their pre-qualification. We are serving customers in energy, real estate, medical products, and home services. You might think that these B2C companies want to do more self-serve and less outreach. But the truth is outbound calls are what really drive conversion. Historically, managing these calls has been complex and expensive—costing companies hundreds of thousands of dollars. With telli, for the first time, B2C companies can automate the role of a pre-sales agent, end to end.

Company Launches

telli ☎️ outbound call automation for B2C companies

TL;DR

Hi all! we are Seb (CTO), Finn (CEO), and Philipp (COO), building telli.com.

telli is building AI voice agents that convert leads into sales opportunities for B2C companies. For example, a leading home-buying platform is using telli to fully automate their pre-qualification.

Problem

Companies that sell complex products (e.g.  solar panels, mortgages, insurance) use warm outbound calls to drive sales conversion. Sales journeys with outbound calls perform MUCH better than online-only journeys!

However, managing these calls has been complex and expensive:

  • Companies reach <50% of their warm leads on the phone
  • No quantitative insight into what drives conversion/revenue from calls
  • High cost (~55 USD per connected call hour)
