Blueprint

Bland Build plan at $299/month plus $0.12/min talk time and $0.04/min transfer; for a client with 2,000 minutes/month, usage adds $240, total ~$539/month. Agency setup fee $3,500 (Bland Starter Voice Agent package).7-10 days
ROI Logic

Agencies charge a $3,500 setup fee plus a monthly retainer (e.g., $1,500-$2,500) that covers Bland's $299 Build plan and per-minute usage. At 2,000 minutes/month, Bland costs ~$539, leaving $1,000-$2,000 margin per client. The 30-day deployment window means agencies can onboard multiple clients per quarter without adding voice AI specialists.

Deliverables
  • Configured Bland voice agent with inbound and outbound call flows
  • CRM integration (Salesforce or HubSpot) with webhook endpoints
  • Knowledge bases loaded with client products, services, and FAQs
  • Agent logic documentation and recorded walkthrough
  • Managed service retainer agreement with per-minute cost pass-through
Definition of Done

Client's Bland agent handles live inbound calls, books appointments via CRM integration, and escalates to staff using warm transfer, with call logs confirming successful data capture.
