How 11x Turns Conference Insights Into Pipeline Results
Attending sales events provides valuable knowledge and connections, but the real challenge is converting those insights into measurable pipeline growth. This is where 11x, an AI-powered digital worker platform focused on GTM execution, pipeline generation, and autonomous sales workflows, delivers transformational impact.
- BuildWitt achieved 45% of booked meetings through 11x while recovering 50% of SDR time previously spent on research and sequencing.
- Questex generated $1M+ pipeline in the first three months, automating roughly 2,000 hours of manual work monthly and achieving 5x ROI on their 11x investment.
- Canibuild saw 99% reduction in speed-to-lead time from 3+ hours to under 2 minutes, with Julian AI Sales Agent handling instant qualification and booking.
- Unitech achieved a 74% increase in calls answered and generated 35% of pipeline through Julian within the first three months.
These results come from replacing manual GTM work with always-on digital workers that execute prospecting, research, personalization, inbound qualification, and follow-up at scale. Rather than simply saving time, 11x turns previously inconsistent or uncovered GTM motions into measurable pipeline without requiring equivalent increases in SDR headcount.
Pricing
11x publishes clear starting prices, making it easier to evaluate than quote-only AI SDR platforms.
- Alice, 11x's outbound AI SDR, starts at $3,750/month, billed annually, with pricing based on leads rather than sends.
- Julian, 11x's inbound AI Sales Agent, starts at $5,333/month for Voice and $2,417/month for Chat, billed annually.
The structure is simple: Growth plans publish starting prices, while Pro and Enterprise plans scale based on volume, users, channels, integrations, and support needs. 11x also bundles core infrastructure into its pricing, including CRM sync, onboarding, deliverability support, mailbox setup for Alice, and phone/chat infrastructure for Julian. This makes 11x's pricing easier to model against SDR headcount, outsourced appointment setting, and fragmented outbound or inbound tooling.
