What does an AI sales team cost?

$30,000 to install. $3,000 a month to run.

That is the whole price of the Grove, Oakwright's done-for-you AI sales team. No per-seat math, no usage tiers, no long contract. Year one totals $66,000. Every year after that is $36,000. Every outbound message waits for the owner's approval before it sends.

The honest math.

Option Year one Ongoing What you actually get
Hire an SDR $75,000 to $110,000 fully loaded Same, plus raises and churn One seat, business hours, about three months to ramp, and the work leaves when they do.
DIY AI tools $600 to $18,000 in subscriptions Same, plus your time The tool is cheap; the operator is you. Lists, prompts, deliverability, and cleanup all still need a person who knows the craft.
The Grove (this is us) $66,000 $36,000 a year Research, outreach in your voice, follow-up, reply handling, and a daily briefing. Installed, run for you, every send approved by you.

Why the install costs $30,000.

The install is not a signup flow. Oakwright builds the agent team around your business: your offer, your market, your voice, your rules about what may never be said. Then it wires the approval queue so nothing reaches a buyer without your sign-off. That is weeks of real work, done once, and it is the difference between an AI that sounds like you and a tool that sounds like a tool.

What owners ask about the price.

Are there long-term contracts?

No. The monthly fee is flat at $3,000. Cancel the month it stops earning its keep.

What does the monthly fee cover?

Operating the team: research, outreach, follow-up, reply handling, the daily briefing, and the infrastructure it all runs on. You approve; it works.

Is there a cheaper way to start?

Yes. The free AI Employee Playbook, finished assets from about $1,000, and field guides and template packs under $50. The ladder exists so you can judge the work before the big check.

What if it does not work for my business?

That is what the walkthrough is for. We show the system running before you commit, and the smaller rungs let you buy proof instead of promises.
