An AI sales rep for your website talks to the people who are already interested: it answers pricing and product questions, asks your qualifying questions and books a call with the right person, within seconds of the first message. It is the inbound half of sales, done the moment the lead arrives instead of the next morning.

Why speed decides inbound sales

In a study published in Harvard Business Review, researchers audited 2,241 US companies and found that only 37% responded to a new online lead within an hour. Among companies that responded within 30 days, the average response took 42 hours. Firms that tried to contact the lead within an hour were nearly seven times as likely to qualify it as those that waited even one hour longer, and more than 60 times as likely as those that waited a day or more (Oldroyd, McElheran and Elkington, "The Short Life of Online Sales Leads", HBR, 2011).

The lesson has not aged. A visitor who asks about your price at 9 pm is deciding tonight. An AI sales rep makes sure somebody answers.

Inbound AI sales rep vs outbound AI SDR

The names get mixed up. An outbound AI SDR writes cold emails and LinkedIn messages to people who never asked to hear from you. An inbound AI sales rep talks to people who came to you: on your website, through a link in your ads, in WhatsApp. Lilidi Twin is the second kind. It never sends a cold message.

What it does in a sales conversation

Answers pricing, plans and product questions from your approved material.
Qualifies with the questions your best salesperson asks: what they need, how many people, which timeline, who decides.
Handles objections with the answers you approved, such as "how is this different from a chatbot?" or "is there a contract?".
Books the call in Google Calendar or Calendly, with the right person for that lead.
Sends the material in the conversation: the deck, the one-pager, the case study.
Drafts the summary and the follow-up in Gmail. Nothing is sent until you approve it.
Hands over hot leads and anything outside its boundaries to a person, with the full context.

A typical exchange at 9:12 pm:

Visitor: How much would this cost for a team of 10?

AI sales rep: Hi, I'm the company's AI assistant. For a team of 10 most customers choose the Team plan. Before I quote it: are you replacing an existing tool or starting fresh?

Visitor: Replacing one, our contract ends next month.

AI sales rep: Thanks, that helps. Would you like a 20-minute call with Anna, who handles migrations? She has Thursday at 15:00 or Friday at 10:30.

Visitor: Thursday works.

AI sales rep: Booked. I've sent you the pricing sheet.

What it should never do

Offer discounts, custom terms or contracts. Those go to a person.
Invent features, prices or delivery dates that are not in the approved material.
Pretend to be human. It introduces itself as an AI.
Push a visitor who said no.

How to write your qualifying questions

Write down what a good lead looks like: company size, use case, timeline, budget range.
Turn it into three to five questions a person would ask naturally, not a form.
Define the outcome for each answer: book a call, send material, or pass to a person now.
Decide who takes which call, so the booking lands with the right colleague.
Review the first conversations and adjust the wording where visitors hesitate.

How to measure it

First response time: seconds instead of hours.
Conversations started per week, and how many came outside working hours.
Qualified leads and the share that booked a call.
Show rate of the booked calls.
Handoffs to a person, and why they happened.
Unanswered questions: each one shows a gap in your knowledge to fill.

What it costs

Lilidi Twin is priced by conversation minutes. Lite costs $19 a month for a voice Twin with 60 video minutes or 120 audio-only minutes. Professional, at $179, includes 500 video minutes and adds the live video avatar, a personal voice clone and lead capture with the conversation context. Extra minutes cost $0.39 and annual billing saves 20%. See the pricing page.

Questions people ask about AI sales reps

Is an AI sales rep the same as an AI SDR?

Not quite. AI SDR tools usually run outbound prospecting. An AI sales rep on your website works inbound: it answers people who already came to you and books them with your team.
