Bigly Sales runs AI outbound and inbound calling as a managed service. Its AI voice agents call new and aged leads, qualify them against your criteria, live-transfer interested prospects to your team, book appointments, and answer inbound calls 24/7, with every disposition, transcript and recording written back to your CRM.
Bigly's team builds the campaign for you. Scripts are written with Claude, ChatGPT and other leading LLMs, and the platform tests script versions on live calls and keeps the best performer. Bigly also handles phone-number procurement, carrier registration, more than 200 whitelisted local-presence lines, spam monitoring and call routing. Before every dial, the system checks consent, suppression and DNC lists, known TCPA litigants, and state and federal calling rules and quiet hours.
The reporting dashboard measures success rate per lead, cost per live transfer and cost per human contact, and breaks the dial-to-transfer funnel into each stage, including transfers lost to an unanswered buffer or a carrier error. Lead sources are ranked side by side by success rate and cost. An hour-by-hour chart shows when leads convert.
With the Bigly Sales MCP server, customers can manage campaigns from Claude or ChatGPT: push a list into an active campaign, check minute usage, pull transcripts, or ask which leads want a demo.
Customers use it for lead reactivation, speed-to-lead follow-up, appointment setting, inbound answering and warm transfers in insurance, lending, home services, legal and fundraising. It integrates with HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho CRM, Pipedrive, GoHighLevel and other CRMs, and plans start at $99 a month, with a free 30-minute AI calling setup to begin.

Backstory
Backstory is an AI sales intelligence and pipeline management platform that helps revenue organizations analyze opportunities, forecast outcomes, and determine what actions to take next. It integrates with CRMs, email systems, calendars, meeting platforms, and other sales tools to automatically capture customer interactions and connect activity to the appropriate accounts and deals. This automated activity capture reduces the need for representatives to manually log meetings, calls, contacts, and engagement data. Backstory uses AI to evaluate deal health, engagement patterns, historical wins, stakeholder coverage, potential bottlenecks, and other indicators that may affect close likelihood. Sales teams can identify at-risk opportunities, uncover growth potential, and understand why particular deals are more or less likely to progress. Stakeholder mapping shows who is involved in an opportunity and highlights missing contacts or relationship gaps that could influence the buying process. AI coaching and deal-specific recommendations provide sellers with suggested next steps based on buyer activity, deal context, and established sales patterns. Forecasting, renewals and retention analysis, pipeline management, and account activity intelligence give managers a broader view of current and future revenue performance. Backstory is designed for sales teams that want to make pipeline decisions using continuously updated engagement data rather than relying primarily on manual CRM updates and rep judgment.
