## The short version

SLSBMB AI is for teams that want researched outbound run for them, with public prices and no long contract: a $500 playbook first, verified contacts at $0.10, and a managed Sending Engine from $800 a month. It is not a human sales team: it hands you the people who reply, and you take the calls.
