Your first sales hire is the agent you already use.
Sellbird turns the AI agent you already pay for into an outbound engine. It researches the companies that fit, writes a personal email to each decision-maker and drafts the replies, while you approve what goes out in a few minutes a day. Start with the inbox you have.

Sverify_emails
I found 31 roofing companies in Austin whose sites still ask homeowners to call to book an inspection, and Sellbird verified an email for 27 of their decision makers. The strongest three:
| Company | Contact | Verified email | Why now |
|---|---|---|---|
| Highline Roofing | Priya Nair, Ops Manager | [email protected] | Books inspections by phone only |
| Boulder Roof Works | Owen Fisher, Owner | [email protected] | Hiring an office admin |
| Summit Exteriors | Jess Alvarez, Owner | [email protected] | Contact form, no calendar |
Each intro opens with something specific from their site. Here’s Priya’s:
Subject: Inspections booked while you’re on a roof
Hi Priya, I noticed Highline asks homeowners to call to book an inspection. When your crew is up on a job, that’s a call that waits until the evening. Bookwell puts a booking page on your site that fills straight into your calendar. Worth a 15-minute look next week?
I’ve added all 27 to a campaign in Sellbird. The drafts are waiting in your Outbox, and nothing sends until you approve them.

Outbound in minutes a day. Approve the batch, answer the replies that matter.
Your agent fills the Outbox while you build. Approve a batch over coffee; anything that needs a founder, like pricing or a contract, is held and flagged for you.

Founders,
answered.
Can a founder run outbound without a sales team?
Yes. Your agent does the research and writing a first sales hire would do, Sellbird runs the sending, and you spend a few minutes a day approving drafts and answering the replies worth your time.
How much does it cost?
Hosted Sellbird is in early access, and we share pricing before anything is charged. Your email accounts and AI plan are billed separately by their providers.
Will it send from my main email address?
Only if you connect it. We recommend a secondary domain so your main domain’s reputation stays out of cold email. Domains and Google or Microsoft seats are billed separately.
How long until the first email goes out?
As soon as a mailbox is connected, your sending settings are done and you approve the first drafts. A brand-new domain or inbox needs a few weeks of warmup before real volume.
Start selling before you hire.
Request early access, then connect your agent and approve your first emails.
