Custom AI Voice Agent closes
the speed-to-lead gap
How a bespoke AI Voice Agent transformed top-of-funnel operations from a manual grind into an automated outreach engine.
The Challenge
Oracle Merchant Services faced a challenge familiar to many high-growth financial service providers: the "speed-to-lead" gap. In the competitive merchant services industry, a lead can go cold in minutes. Their team was spending significant time on manual cold outreach and initial qualification, which often led to inconsistent follow-ups and missed opportunities.
The leadership team needed a way to scale their lead generation without exponentially increasing their headcount or losing the personal touch that defines their brand.
Our Approach
We partnered with Oracle Merchant Services to build a bespoke Automated AI Voice Agent. Unlike standard robotic dialers, this agent was designed to be a seamless extension of their existing team.

The Results
By implementing the AI Voice Agent, Oracle Merchant Services transformed their top-of-funnel operations from a manual grind into an automated engine.
- Massive Lead Volume: The agent maintained a consistent outreach pace that would have required a team of 10+ full-time callers.
- Zero Lead Decay: New data sets were processed and contacted within seconds, ensuring Oracle was always the first to reach a potential client.
- High-Intent Handoffs: The sales team stopped "fishing" and started "closing," as every lead delivered by the agent was pre-vetted and interested.
- Brand Consistency: Every prospect received a perfect, high-energy pitch, regardless of the time of day or call volume.
Key Takeaways
- Identity Matters: Using an employee's actual voice significantly increases trust and engagement rates compared to generic AI voices.
- Efficiency at Scale: AI Voice Agents allow boutique firms to compete with enterprise-level outreach budgets.
- Focus on Closing: By automating the "first touch," human agents can focus their energy on high-value consultations and complex deal structures.
