AI BDR
An AI BDR that feeds your closers, on autopilot
FollowArc works as an AI business development rep (BDR): the role built for pure top-of-funnel volume, not closing. It builds target lists, opens conversations across LinkedIn and email, and qualifies every reply by intent — so your closers only spend time on conversations worth having, and pipeline grows without adding headcount.
Pure top-of-funnel — built for handoff
A BDR’s job is volume and qualification, not closing. Sophia sources and enrolls prospects that match your ideal customer, runs multi-step outreach, and follows up on its own — so your reps only pick up once there is real interest to work.
Qualification built in
The AI inbox reads and ranks replies by intent so real interest surfaces first and low-value noise does not eat your day.
Safe by default
Send guards, per-account limits, and a killswitch keep outreach within safe bounds across every connected account.
Scales across accounts
Run multiple LinkedIn seats with rotation and per-account warm-up — useful as you grow or run outreach for several brands.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between an AI BDR and an AI SDR?
The roles overlap heavily — both build top-of-funnel pipeline. "BDR" (business development rep) usually emphasizes opening brand-new conversations and outbound prospecting, while "SDR" often includes qualifying inbound too. FollowArc covers both motions: it sources and enrolls net-new prospects, opens conversations across LinkedIn and email, and qualifies every reply by intent.
How does an AI BDR qualify replies?
Replies flow into an AI inbox that reads and ranks them by intent, so genuine interest surfaces first and low-value noise (auto-responders, polite passes) does not eat your day. You can approve responses or graduate to autopilot once you trust it.
Can it build pipeline without adding headcount?
That is the point — Sophia continuously sources prospects that match your ideal customer profile and runs multi-step outreach on its own, so pipeline grows without hiring more reps. Per-account caps, warm-up, and a killswitch keep it safe as volume scales.
