MIT / InsideSales Lead Response Study
Hiring someone to chase leads full-time runs $3,000–$5,000/month loaded. Stride is $1,000/month, works 24/7, and goes live in 7 days. One extra closed side at your average commission pays for roughly 10 months of service.
Stride handles the repetitive work so you spend every hour on what actually closes deals.
New lead hits your CRM; Stride fires a personal text in under 30 seconds. 24/7. No business hours, no duty roster, no weekend dropoff.
Natural back-and-forth: timing, budget, tour preference. Qualified leads get booked directly on your calendar with a confirmation text. Cold leads get tagged so you don’t waste hours chasing them.
I monitor every conversation, send a Monday 9am report, and tune the AI monthly based on what’s actually converting. You close deals. I run the rest.

Most AI tools hand you a dashboard and wish you luck. Stride is a managed service — I build it, I run it, I report on it.
15 minutes. We confirm fit before either of us commits. No pitch deck.
I connect your CRM, calendar, and number. I tune the AI to your market and your tone.

Monday 9am report every week. Monthly tuning. Your rate never goes up.

Stride runs natively on GoHighLevel. For any other CRM or lead source — Zillow, Facebook, IDX, Follow Up Boss, kvCORE, custom — we connect by webhook. You don’t change how you use your CRM.
By default, Stride opens as “[Agent]’s assistant” on message one — same way a human ISA introduces themselves on any team. If a lead asks directly whether they’re talking to AI, Stride discloses and escalates to you. If you want fuller transparency — opening with “AI-powered assistant” — we do that instead. Your call. Either way, the moment a lead asks for a human or the conversation gets complex, it escalates to you immediately.
The AI response engine. SMS through a dedicated local-area Twilio number. CRM integration. Calendar booking. Weekly Monday reports. Monitoring and monthly tuning. Every API call, every message, every setup fee — included.
Stride works alongside them, not instead. Your ISA handles warm conversations, nurture calls, and relationship building — the stuff that needs a human. Stride handles the first 30 seconds of every new lead, 24/7 — including the nights, weekends, and lunch breaks when your ISA is offline. Most teams see their ISA close more because they stop wasting hours chasing cold leads the AI already disqualified.
Yes. Stride is 10DLC registered, honors STOP / HELP / UNSUBSCRIBE automatically, respects quiet hours per each lead’s local timezone, and maintains a global opt-out list across every client account. You never handle compliance yourself — it’s built into the service.
We’re building case studies. First five lock $1,000/month for life in exchange for permission to share results (anonymized if you want). Client #6 onward pays $1,500/month. Setup is $500 for everyone.
Seven business days from signing. You fill out a 20-minute onboarding form. We handle every technical step.
3-month minimum so we have time to tune and prove results. After that, month-to-month, 30 days notice. Your rate doesn’t change as long as you stay active.

“Most AI follow-up tools are thin wrappers sold by people who’ve never closed a deal. Stride is the real thing.”
Cole Winslow — Arizona-based, with a background across sales and software. Stride came out of watching real estate teams get sold AI follow-up tools by people who’d never actually worked a lead pipeline. It’s the version he wanted to exist.
We’ll look at your current lead response, your CRM, and whether Stride is a real fit. If it isn’t, I’ll tell you.
