Automated outreach agency

Every lead, worked until it books.

Our AI agents revive your old estimates, call new leads back in under a minute, and pick up the calls you miss. Then they book the job on your calendar or put the caller through to you, live.

Done for you. You keep your number, your calendar and your CRM.

Three plays. One outcome.

We run the outreach that falls through the cracks in every busy business. Each play ends the same way: an appointment on your calendar, or a live caller on your phone.

Reactivation

The list you stopped calling is still worth money.

Every business sits on a pile of people who almost bought. We work it for you, follow up more times than a person ever will, and pass you the ones who are ready.

  • Old estimates, quotes and stale leads
  • Past customers due for the next job
  • Runs when you need work on the board
  • Respects do-not-call requests
  • Pause or stop a campaign whenever you want

Speed to lead

The first one to call gets the job.

A lead form isn’t a customer. It’s a person with their phone out who filled in three forms, not one. Whoever rings first usually wins.

  1. 0:00The lead lands

    Someone fills in your web form, taps your ad, or sends a marketplace inquiry.

  2. 0:41Darte is calling

    While the tab is still open. It qualifies the job, checks the area, and books it.

  3. 5:00Competitors start dialing

    Now you would have been the second or third voice they hear.

  4. 1:00:00It’s someone else’s job

    The lead you paid for is on a competitor’s calendar.

Firms that reached a new lead within an hour were nearly seven times likelier to qualify it than firms that waited one hour longer, and more than sixty times likelier than firms that waited a day. The study covered 1.25 million leads.

Missed calls

Every call you can’t take, taken care of.

You’re under a sink, at a showing, or asleep. The phone still rings. It gets answered by an agent that knows your services, your area and your rules.

  • Emergencies ring through to your cell
  • Quote requests qualified and booked
  • Reschedules and cancellations handled
  • Price shoppers handled the way you would
  • Spam gone before it reaches your pocket
  • A text summary the moment the call ends

That sounds miserable. Are you at 2214 Ridgeview? I can get a tech there today between 2 and 4.
Caller
Yes. Please.
Booked today, 2–4 pm. Summary texted to you.

Every conversation ends one of two ways.

Appointment booked

On your calendar, ready to go.

Booked into the calendar you already use, with the address, the job and the notes. You get a text with the details.

Live handoff

Hot lead? It rings you.

When someone is ready now or the job is urgent, the call is put through to you mid-conversation, with the context already in hand.

Everyone else is logged, tagged and followed up on schedule.

The math

What the leads that slip through cost.

Missed calls, slow callbacks, estimates nobody followed up. Nobody does it on purpose. Run your own numbers.

Walking out the door

a year · $0 a month

Rough arithmetic, not a promise. But the numbers are yours.

Done for you

You run the business. We run the outreach.

We’re an agency, not software you have to learn. We build it, run it, and keep tuning it.

  1. We connect

    Your lead sources, phone line, calendar and CRM. You keep your number and your tools.

  2. We build

    Agents set up as your business: your offer, service area, questions and rules. You listen to real recordings and tell us what to fix.

  3. We run it

    Campaigns on the schedule you set, tuned every week, with the numbers and the recordings sent to you.

Case study · Reactivation · Real estate

They called it the Trash Bucket.

A brokerage in Austin handed us every lead they had already given up on. Years of inquiries that never became a deal, in one spreadsheet nobody opened. We ran it for two weeks.

Calls placed2,643in two weeks
Picked up1114.2% of dials
Back in conversation1917.1% of answers
What the 111 conversations came to
  • Interested now 8
  • Worth nurturing 11
  • Not interested 92

A 4% answer rate is what a dead list looks like, and it’s the reason the list was dead. Nobody was going to dial 2,643 numbers on the chance a few dozen still had a pulse. At three minutes a dial that’s over 130 hours on the phone.

Automated, that arithmetic stops applying. Two weeks of dialing nobody had to staff, and 19 people who once raised their hand are talking to an agent again. It doesn’t take many of those to pay for it.

Client anonymous at their request. Figures are that campaign’s own call records. “Back in conversation” counts the 8 interested now plus the 11 worth a follow-up. The 130 hours is arithmetic at three minutes a dial, not a measured figure.

Free pilot

Send us your Trash Bucket.

Estimates that never closed, leads that went quiet, a database nobody has called in a year. Hand it over and we’ll work it for two weeks, free.

Free · 2 weeks · up to 2,500 leads

Two weeks of reactivation on your dead leads, on us.

  1. You send the list. A spreadsheet export is fine. Tell us where the leads came from and how they opted in.
  2. We set it up as your business. Your offer, your area, your calendar, the questions you would ask.
  3. It works the list for two weeks. Anyone interested is booked onto your calendar or handed to you live.
  4. You get the numbers and recordings. The same breakdown the brokerage above got, for your list.
Book the pilot call

It starts with a 30-minute call to look at the list together. If two weeks turn up nothing worth your time, you walk away.

Built for businesses that live on the phone.

Home services

Trucks and crews

HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping, pest, restoration. The phone rings when your hands are full.

Real estate

Agents and teams

Portal leads, sign calls, showing requests and a CRM full of past inquiries. The first agent to call usually gets the client.

Local business

Front desks of one

Clinics, salons, studios, small firms. Bookings and follow-ups without pulling someone off the floor.

Questions, answered.

Is this software, or do you run it?

We run it. Darte is an agency: we set up the agents, connect your lead sources, run the campaigns and tune them every week. You get booked appointments, live handoffs, and a report with the recordings.

Will people know they’re talking to AI?

Most never ask. If someone asks directly, it says it is an assistant. It does not claim to be a specific employee and it does not pretend to be human.

When does it book, and when does it hand off?

You decide. Most businesses have it book routine jobs and appointments straight onto the calendar, and put emergencies and ready-now leads through to them live. Anything it can’t answer becomes a message texted to you.

How fast does it really call a new lead?

Under a minute in normal conditions, measured from the moment the lead hits your form or ad platform. If nobody answers it retries on a cadence you set rather than leaving one voicemail and stopping.

Where do reactivation lists come from, and is it compliant?

Your own past leads and customers. Before any campaign we go through where the leads came from and how they opted in, and we honor do-not-call requests. If a list doesn’t pass, we don’t dial it.

Will it work with my calendar and CRM?

It books into the common calendars and pushes to most CRMs. Tell us what you run on the intro call and we’ll confirm before you commit to anything.

What does it cost?

Less than a part-time receptionist for most businesses. It depends on your volume and which plays you run, so we quote it on the call. The two-week reactivation pilot is free either way.

Pick a time.

Thirty minutes. We look at where your leads come from, where they go now, and which play would pay off first.

You’ll talk to me, not a sales team.

I’m Daniel Hart and I run Darte. The calendar below is mine. Bring a rough idea of how many leads and calls you get in a week, and I’ll tell you on the call whether this is worth it for you. If it isn’t, I’ll say so.

Tell us where your leads go.
