AI sales cost model: what you actually spend

Vendors publish per-seat pricing. Here's the actual all-in cost per meeting when you count model spend and human time.

The stack

  • Software license per seat
  • Model spend at usage
  • Integration ops overhead
  • Human review time for approvals

Typical all-in

$60-90 per meeting booked at mid-market scale. Best-in-class teams drive this under $40 by year 2.

Where costs surprise

Voice minutes. Retrieval calls at high volume. Anything with a per-invocation model cost.
