Real Impact of AI Cold Callers on Cold Leads
Seblewongel12 · reddit · 2026-07-15
The author tested an AI cold caller on a batch of about 600 long-untouched cold leads, successfully re-engaging 11 interested prospects within a week.
Their core conclusion is that these tools excel not at "sounding like a smooth-talking human," but at consistently making high volumes of calls that humans simply wouldn't dial. For cold lists, AI outreach covers the volume humans avoid; however, list quality and the script matter far more than voice naturalness—a bad list just means harassing 600 people faster. The author also disclosed a conflict of interest: they were involved in developing one of the products mentioned, Votel.
