Re: AI SDR Tools

About That Artisan Evaluation...

You mentioned you're looking at Artisan ($2,500/mo). This intel page + personalized outreach was built by our homegrown AI SDR in ~20 minutes for under $1 in API costs.

Not saying Artisan isn't good — but worth comparing the actual output before committing to $30K/year.
