What Artisan is
Artisan provides an AI business development representative, Ava, for teams running outbound sales and their sales reps. Ava supports prospecting, outreach and meeting booking.
Ava searches B2B contacts or imports contacts from a CRM, enriches and prioritises them using intent signals, then sends personalised messages across channels. It queues call steps in a native dialler and tests message variations, directing more volume to stronger-performing messages. Ava qualifies replies, handles objections, books meetings and escalates conversations to a human according to set rules.
