Issue #17: 📞 How Nick Built an AI Phone Sales Agent in a Weekend

Workflow of the Week 🚀

Who Built It: Nick

What It Does: This workflow spins up a fully automated voice-based sales & support agent. Using ElevenLabs’ new conversational AI, n8n, and Twilio, it answers inbound calls (or WhatsApp/Slack messages), handles FAQs, pulls order statuses, books appointments, and even checks your calendar—all without human intervention.

Where to Find It: 🔗 Access the workflow & training

Why It’s Incredible: Most AI chatbots stop at text, but Nick’s build brings voice into the mix—unlocking an entire channel of hands-free customer interaction. Whether you’re an e-commerce store drowning in support tickets or a law firm screening potential clients, the agent can be deployed on a website button, dedicated phone number, or messaging app in minutes.

Because it’s powered by Twilio for telephony, n8n for logic, and ElevenLabs for ultra-natural speech, you get enterprise-grade capabilities without writing code or paying for a call-center staff. It’s like hiring a 24/7 SDR and support rep that never sleeps.

📊 Difficulty Rating: 🌊🌊🌊🌊 (4/5 — Requires Twilio setup and ElevenLabs API keys, but no coding once templates are loaded)

💰 Get The Bag - Monetize this workflow

1. AI Call-Center-as-a-Service
   Offer small e-commerce brands an always-on voice agent that handles returns, order tracking, and FAQs. Charge a monthly platform fee plus usage-based minutes (e.g., $299 base + $0.08/min). Include a dashboard in Airtable that logs every call so clients see value instantly. Pro tip: upsell custom voice cloning to match each brand’s “voice” for an additional setup fee.

2. Real-Estate Lead Qualification Engine
   Deploy the agent for real-estate firms to pre-qualify buyers and renters—collecting budget, location, and timeline before the first human call. Bill agencies per qualified lead ($25–$50) and let the workflow push hot prospects straight into their CRM. Add a follow-up SMS sequence (another n8n node) to increase show-up rates and justify higher pricing.

3. White-Label Voice Agent for Agencies
   Package the workflow, re-brand it, and let marketing agencies resell it to their own clients. Offer a turnkey bundle that includes template deployment, Twilio provisioning, and a Loom onboarding video. Price it at $1,000 setup + $150/month maintenance. Pro tip: create tiered plans—basic FAQ agent, advanced booking agent, and multilingual premium agent—to maximize ARPU.
