Testing a human-first AI sales workflow: humans open, AI classifies and follows up

The author is testing an alternative to fully automated AI outreach for a niche campaign:
- Flow: a human makes the first call to identify real interest → email/SMS follow-up → AI classifies replies as engaged, interested, or not interested → the workflow adapts based on intent.
- Rationale: humans build initial trust and understand the actual problem; the system handles consistency afterward so interested prospects don't slip away.
- He suspects this beats trying to replace salespeople entirely and invites discussion on handling the human-to-AI handoff.
