I run a voice AI company. A lot of my job is listening.

Business owners want to answer more calls, keep costs under control, and give customers a great experience. They also have fair questions about trusting AI with their reputation and how it will fit into their team’s work.

I’m using this account to share what we learn along the way:

• What customers ask for and how it changes what we build
• Where voice AI makes a measurable difference
• What needs more work and where people still need to be involved
• New features, demos, and the problems they’re meant to solve
• My experience building and running the business

If you’re exploring AI for your business, I want what I share here to help you decide where it could be useful and what questions to ask before getting started.

What would you need to know before letting AI answer your customer calls?

[Cory Miller @CoryMiller01]

Truth is, sales techniques vary depending on what you’re selling and who wants/needs it.

But across every offering and customer segment, the one thing that stays constant is the importance of asking good questions.

Good questions help you understand what matters to your customer. They also reveal the depth of your expertise and help your customer decide whether they can trust you.

Try it out. If you ask a question your'e customer hasn't thought of, it immediately builds trust. They start thinking " what else havent I thought of? They start thinking there is a risk of NOT partnering with you.

It feels like this some days. If you're out there feeling the same, lets support each other and connect!

@DougKennedy93 💯

Make life easy for your customers. They then refer your future customers. I tell my team all the time.

[Cory Miller @CoryMiller01]

To be fair , it CAN be a skill issue when selling. Building value and uncovering pain points can be accomplished through thoughtful questions. You can build value on your product without stating a single value statement. It can be through the questions you ask, and the implications of those questions.

Startup founders: How long did it take to get your first paying customer, and how did you find them?

@blknoiz06 Where's my solana:pumpCmXqMfrsAkQ5r49WcJnRayYRqmXz6ae8H7H9Dfn family? Lets connect! I want to keep up with the community.

[Cory Miller @CoryMiller01]

@samongaro_ I have the same issue. It never remembers

[Cory Miller @CoryMiller01]

@fallund @CiprianiRanieri When you say LinkedIn, is this through ads, sales navigator, or through connections?

[Cory Miller @CoryMiller01]

@matt_teeixeira I agree. Is anyone using openclaw for autonomous agents? Claude co-work and code is what I use but I’d love to understand how people use openclaw over Claude?

[Cory Miller @CoryMiller01]

@lbexplorer Same. How quickly do you think we get there? Just curious

[Cory Miller @CoryMiller01]

@DavidHa2572751 @DenisCerednice1 Not sure. It might be that my perception is off.

[Cory Miller @CoryMiller01]

@ChadBitcoinHODL I agree with the assumption. I don’t think the numbers decline will be as crushing tho. They’ll still sell at 2-4x purchase price. There is still plenty of people that make enough money to afford $1.5-2M house.

[Cory Miller @CoryMiller01]

@StrongpointRich Have you all considered AI voice reception services? Especially helpful for after hours jobs to be answered automatically.

[Cory Miller @CoryMiller01]

@asaio87 Are you using an email campaign to reach prospects? Just curious

[Cory Miller @CoryMiller01]

@mardehaym I was having a conversation with a CEO last week. We talked about how AI should allow the humans to all act as owners working ON the business and not always IN the business.
Said another way, how can each employee think more macro if the micro is driven by AI. We see this alot in the AI voice space.

[Cory Miller @CoryMiller01]

@therobertbrooks @therobertbrooks have you considered AI Voice reception to never miss jobs, especially after hours? Cheaper and performs 24/7. Thats what we do. DM if interested.

[Cory Miller @CoryMiller01]

@samongaro_ I'd be interested to see what comments come back on this. From my IRL friends, maybe $20/ for frontier models. Assume the $ is higher on X. I spend hundreds every month but I'm probably not the median user.

[Cory Miller @CoryMiller01]

@TiffanyFong Not a chance

[Cory Miller @CoryMiller01]

With all due respect, the reason this isn't relatable to early founders like myself is because you started with 16k + 24k followers on linkedin. This isn't really starting from scratch, you're starting at minimum with an audience.

Great job on the success at any rate. The other parts weren't easy I'm sure..
