Building Prospect Autopilot — Email + calls on autopilot. No agencies, no babysitting.

The Problem

Small business owners are stuck in the middle: hiring an SDR agency costs $8–15k/month and requires management overhead, while AI tools only do email OR calls, forcing you to stitch together multiple platforms and manually trigger sequences. You want a single system that takes a prospect list, researches it, runs email sequences, and makes calls—all hands-off.

What I'm Thinking of Building

Prospect Autopilot is a unified AI BDR that uploads your lead list (CSV or Airtable), auto-researches contacts via Clearbit/Hunter, runs multi-touch sequences combining personalized emails and outbound calls, and tracks everything in one dashboard. No custom setup required—just pick a sequence template, set it and forget it.

Who It's For

Founders and sales leaders at B2B SMBs (5–50 employees) selling $5k–50k contracts in software, consulting, and professional services who want inbound pipeline without the SDR headcount.

Key Features (Planned)

  • Upload prospect lists (CSV, Airtable) and auto-research via Clearbit + Hunter
  • Run unified email + call sequences without manual handoffs
  • Pre-built templates for outreach flows—customizable without coding
  • Single dashboard: sequence progress, call logs, and reply tracking
  • Twilio-powered outbound calls with intelligent retry logic and call recording

I'm validating this idea before writing a single line of code. If this resonates with you, I'd love your feedback:

If you could feed a list of 500 prospects into one tool and have it research, email, and call them automatically over 4 weeks—with zero manual input from you—would that be worth $300–400/month?
