I Built an AI Tool To Replace My Sales Department (With 0 Code)
Education
Introduction
Imagine having a sales representative that works around the clock, never takes breaks, and never misses a lead. I’ve brought that dream to life, and the most exciting part is that I gave this AI tool my own voice. I trained it using my knowledge, and I built the entire system without writing a single line of code. Curious about how I did it? Let me share my journey with you.
As the co-founder of We Are No Code, I often hold events to teach entrepreneurs how to launch startups using no-code tools and AI. The primary goal of these events is to follow up with attendees through calls, answer their questions, and introduce them to our coaching and programs. With this objective, I decided to develop an AI that can perform outbound calls on my behalf.
Tools Used
To make this possible, I utilized three powerful tools:
- Synth Flow: This platform enables you to create AI agents, including voice agents capable of interacting with customers.
- 11 Labs: This tool allows me to clone my voice so that the AI can speak as I do.
- Twilio: Often used for sending messages in apps, Twilio helps in managing the outbound calling process.
Step-by-Step Process
Let's dive into the build process:
Voice Cloning with 11 Labs
I began the project by signing into 11 Labs and navigating to the Voice Lab. I created a new voice clone by uploading a clear recording of my voice, sticking to the file size limit of 10 megabytes. I specified that the AI should clone my voice and created a new voice profile named "Christian Peverelli AI".
After configuring the voice settings, I tested the voice clone to check its quality. While the voice sounded a bit robotic initially, I knew that continuous tweaking of the settings would improve it over time.
Building the AI Assistant with Synth Flow
Next, I moved to Synth Flow to create my AI assistant. I selected the 'outbound batch' option for an AI agent dedicated to sales calls. During the configuration, I provided the necessary company information and set the conversation goals to address attendee questions from the event and direct them toward our paid programs.
After configuring the assistant's settings, I connected it to the cloned voice from 11 Labs using the API key and voice ID. I defined a custom greeting and established rules to handle common objections during calls.
Connecting to Twilio and Testing
Before finalizing everything, I connected Twilio to Synth Flow. This involved creating a Twilio phone number and ensuring my account had sufficient credits. Once connected, I tested the AI by inputting my phone number and examining its functionality.
I prepared a CSV file with my leads and uploaded it into Synth Flow. After importing the contacts, I set up a calling campaign, specifying the time zone and time frame for the calls.
Running the Campaign
Once the setup was complete, I tracked the interaction logs to review the performance of my AI sales representative. The initial test call went well; it effectively interacted with a lead, asking for feedback on the event and presenting our coaching program.
Future Improvements
Although the initial version of the AI tool was functional, I plan to enhance the voice clone further and refine the calling script to ensure seamless interactions.
