Launch an AI-Powered Outbound Calling Agent in 15 Minutes

In this guide, you will build an AI agent that makes real outbound sales calls from a contact list. You will create the agent, get a phone number, upload contacts from a CSV, and launch a calling batch. The setup takes about 15 minutes and costs $0 to test.

• Sales teams running outbound campaigns who want to qualify leads before a human gets on the phone
• Small business owners who do not have time to make 50 cold calls a week but need to keep pipeline moving
• Consultants and agencies who want to automate appointment booking, customer check-ins, or event RSVPs without hiring a VA

You will build a fully functioning AI phone agent that calls a list of contacts, has a natural conversation based on your prompt, handles objections, and logs full transcripts from a simple CSV upload.

• An ElevenLabs AI calling agent
• A connected Twilio phone number
• A CSV-based outbound calling batch
• Call transcripts you can review after the calls

• ElevenLabs account, free plan or $9
• Twilio account, free to sign up with $15 in credits included
• A list of phone numbers to call
• An idea of what you want the agent to say

• After the basic outbound flow is working, you can add live call transfers, connect scheduling and CRM tools, add qualifying questions, or reuse the same setup for reminders, feedback calls, RSVPs, renewal check-ins, and other repetitive calling workflows.
