Smith.ai vs. Exclusive Calls

Exclusive Calls offers outbound callers for either 40, 80, or 160 hours per month. It’s an inflexible model that doesn’t fit specific business needs. Smith.ai deploys an entire workforce — leveraging hundreds of North America-based agents — all focused on meeting your specific campaign objectives. With this approach, we can perform sales outreach more efficiently and at a much wider scale.

Your customers aren’t bound to only 40 hours a week, and neither should your coverage. Exclusive Calls charges in hourly batches, but it’s difficult to find full pricing details. Smith.ai is the more straightforward solution. Our plans start at just $600 per month for 24/7 outbound calls. We charge per contact — with 50 contacts included at the starting price. That also includes a five-call cadence with every campaign — along with follow-up email and text messages for improved conversion rates. Additional bundled features at no additional cost include appointment setting, CRM/Zapier integration, new-client intake forms, and outbound business caller ID.

Exclusive Calls lacks technology, customizations, or any sort of business strategy. With Smith.ai, you can rely on our AI-empowered agents. Using our proprietary software, we make calls at the right time, use the right messaging, and focus on the right objectives — as defined by you. We’ll even help you set up integrations to sync our systems together. Through these integrations, we can automatically import leads into our system from yours, such as when new leads complete a new-client website form or respond to an email. You can pass those leads directly to Smith.ai for immediate outbound engagement and improve your speed to lead time.

Smith.ai’s sales-trained agents are ready to do your cold calling as well. We collaborate with you to create the perfect call messaging and can quickly supply targeted lead lists to you upon request for a low cost of $1/lead. This includes a targeting strategy and research, along with sample list data so you have confidence the leads meet your business’ ICP.

We offer rich call intelligence too, so you can quickly and easily view campaign results in your client dashboard and monitor everything you need to know about your campaign’s performance. You’ll know exactly how many attempts were made, how many more attempts are outstanding, and how well the campaign is performing. 

Critically, we also offer the option to have inbound coverage when leads call back in response to voicemails and messages sent to them. Our 24/7 virtual receptionists are available to add-on to any Outreach Campaigns plan for just $285 per month, ensuring 360-degree coverage of your leads, particularly those with the highest intent. We even offer 24/7 live chat so leads visiting your website after receiving our outbound calls are greeted and engaged immediately. We handle the entire “frontline” of your lead flow so you never need to worry about in-house coverage when our campaigns are running on your behalf.

We know that most outreach campaigns are time- and ROI-sensitive. That’s why, for growth-minded business owners looking for sales-trained agents, a full strategy, and rich reporting features, Smith.ai is the superior choice over Exclusive Calls.
