In this session, Jaspar will cover: The conversion numbers across 1M+ AI-sent emails: open rates, reply rates, and what actually books meetings vs. what just looks good in a dashboard How they iterated on persona, timing, and sequencing to get AI outbound performing at or above human SDR benchmarks The implemention steps for setting up an AI SDR in Artisan and across you sales team How to think about deploying AI SDRs alongside a human team vs. replacing the team entirely The infrastructure behind sending at this volume without torching your domain reputation What their best-performing customers do differently from the ones who churn in 90 days
