💰 Sell it as a service
The offer
Inbound and outbound call automation for clients with real call volume — appointment reminders, lead requalification, after-hours intake — where per-minute economics beat hiring another rep.
What to charge
$2,500-$5,000 setup + $500/mo management, plus usage billed to the client at a markup (bill $0.30/min against Bland's $0.14 and the margin scales with their volume).
How it gets delivered
Map the call flow in Conversational Pathways, stress-test edge cases with Bland's scenario testing, connect the CRM, then review live calls weekly. The free Start tier means you can demo on a real phone number before the client pays a dollar.
This is one offer. AI Operator Academy is where operators build the full stack — packaging, pricing, fulfillment, and a peer group selling the same services. $999/yr.
