Smith.ai vs. HelloSells

HelloSells agents focus on lead qualification and appointment scheduling. Smith.ai offers a more comprehensive sales development solution — strategically built around your specific campaign objectives. Whether it’s to immediately follow up on sales inquiries, screen leads, invite contacts to an event, seek new online reviews, or book sales appointments — our team of sales-trained, North America-based agents provide the sales support you need. 

All of our plans include white-glove setup, script writing, client onboarding, and a dedicated account manager. We are available 24/7/365 to call your leads in either English or Spanish, while our SDRs have specific training in sales outreach to deliver real business results. Our AI makes a difference, too. It guides the conversations held by our agents so they can work past any stalls or objections and see better conversion rates. 

At Smith.ai, we bundle key features we know businesses need. We set appointments, complete new-client intake forms, and offer outbound business caller ID. We also connect to over 5,000 CRMs, marketing platforms, calendars, billing systems, and form software. Through these integrations, we can automatically pipe leads from your database to ours — allowing our agents to immediately engage with your leads and improve speed to lead. Our technology doesn’t stop there. You will receive full visibility into each of your campaigns through your client dashboard. You can monitor statuses, attempts we’ve made, and call outcomes per contact to better measure campaign performance and ROI.

Smith.ai offers affordable sales support. Our per-contact pricing model means your monthly costs will be based on how many contacts you’d like us to reach on your behalf. Plans start at just $12 per lead, with a minimum of only 200 leads. Our SDRs make up to five outbound calls per contact and send follow-up emails and text messages to improve engagement rates. We can work off your lists or quickly supply targeted leads for cold calling for a low cost of $1 per lead. With HelloSells, you’ll need to supply your own lists, and manually send before calls begin.

Our agents can handle inbound calls, too. Our 24/7 virtual receptionists are available to add to any Outreach Campaign plan for just $285 per month, ensuring 360-degree coverage of your leads. We also offer 24/7 live chat so leads visiting your website after receiving our outreach campaigns 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. 

For growth-minded businesses looking for strategic sales outreach, rich, flexible features, and robust CRM integrations, Smith.ai is the superior choice over HelloSells.
