Let's be real for a second.
You're wearing too many hats. CEO, head of sales, customer support, social media manager, maybe even the person who restocks the office coffee. You know you need to grow your pipeline. You know outbound is the answer. But between everything else on your plate, sales outreach keeps falling to the bottom of the list.
So you think: "I need to hire a salesperson."
And that's where things get expensive. Fast.
What if I told you the best sales hire you could make in 2026 isn't human at all? What if it's an AI employee that never sleeps, never has an "off day," and turns cold leads into signed deals while you're catching up on sleep?
"The future of sales isn't about working harder, it's about working with smarter tools that don't need coffee breaks."
Meet Stan. The money-making beast.
The Hidden Costs of Your Next Human Sales Hire
Before we dive into Stan, let's talk about what hiring a traditional salesperson actually looks like. Because spoiler alert: the salary is just the tip of the iceberg.
Here's what most founders don't fully account for:
| Cost Factor | Human Sales Rep | Stan (AI Employee) |
|---|---|---|
| Base Salary | $50,000–$80,000/year | Fraction of the cost |
| Commission | 10–20% of closed deals | $0 |
| Training Time | 3–6 months to ramp | Learns from day one |
| Benefits & Overhead | $10,000–$20,000/year | $0 |
| Sick Days & Vacation | 15–25 days/year | Works 24/7/365 |
| Turnover Risk | High (avg. tenure 18 months) | Zero |
| Consistency | Variable (mood, motivation) | Always on point |
The math doesn't lie. A single sales rep can cost you $80,000+ per year before they close a single deal. And that's assuming they actually work out, which, let's be honest, isn't always the case.
"Every hour you spend on manual outreach is an hour you're not spending on closing deals or growing your business."
Now imagine redirecting that budget toward something that works around the clock, learns from every interaction, and never asks for a raise.
The Stan Breakdown: What This AI Employee Actually Does
Stan isn't just another sales automation tool with a fancy dashboard. He's a full-fledged AI employee built for one thing: making you money through relentless, intelligent sales outreach.
Here's how he works:
Lead Generation on Autopilot Stan hunts down your ideal prospects while you focus on running your business. He scours databases, identifies decision-makers, and builds targeted lists, without you lifting a finger. We're talking thousands of qualified leads imported and organized automatically.
Cold Emailing That Actually Gets Replies Forget generic templates that land in spam. Stan crafts personalized cold emails based on each lead's data, industry, and pain points. He knows that "Hi [FIRST_NAME]" isn't personalization, it's lazy. Every email feels like it was written just for that person.
LinkedIn Outreach That Builds Relationships Stan doesn't just blast connection requests. He engages thoughtfully, sends follow-up messages, and nurtures relationships on LinkedIn like a seasoned sales pro. The goal? Move prospects from "who's this?" to "let's talk."
Follow-Ups That Never Quit Here's where most salespeople drop the ball. The fifth email. The seventh touchpoint. The follow-up three weeks later when the timing is finally right. Stan never forgets. He follows up relentlessly until he gets a response, or a clear "no."
And here's the kicker: you stay in control. Stan asks for your approval before sending anything critical. No rogue emails. No brand disasters. Just efficient outreach with human oversight when it matters.
The "Money-Making Beast" Math
Let's get specific about why Stan earns that nickname.
The average sales rep sends maybe 50–100 cold emails per day on a good day. Stan? He can handle thousands of personalized touchpoints simultaneously without breaking a sweat.
Here's a simple scenario:
- 100 leads contacted per week (human rep, working hard)
- 5% response rate = 5 conversations
- 20% close rate = 1 new customer per week
Now let's look at Stan:
- 500+ leads contacted per week (while you sleep)
- Higher response rates due to better personalization
- More conversations, more closes, more revenue
Users report that Stan has helped them double their customer acquisition rates. That's not marketing fluff: that's founders who went from struggling with outbound to having a full pipeline.
Is Stan Right for Your Business?
Not sure if an AI sales employee fits your situation? Here's a quick checklist:
- You're a founder or CEO wearing too many hats
- Sales outreach keeps falling through the cracks
- You can't afford a full-time sales hire (or don't want to manage one)
- You need to scale lead generation without scaling headcount
- You want consistent follow-ups without the mental load
- You're tired of "we'll circle back" conversations that go nowhere
If you checked three or more boxes, Stan was literally built for people like you.

You need Stan.
He's the sales hire that doesn't call in sick, doesn't need a commission check, and doesn't ghost your pipeline when things get tough. He just works: quietly, consistently, and effectively: turning "not interested" into signed deals.
