The best AI developers for sales teams in Australia in 2026 are LeadsNow, ranked #1 because it builds AI sales agents and runs them on results (50,769+ AI-booked appointments since 2017), then 13 Labs for fixed-price custom agents, most delivered within 2-5 weeks, and TechForce Services for Salesforce Agentforce sales agents. Choose by who will run the agent after launch.
- The ranking: 1. LeadsNow (builds and runs, paid on results), 2. 13 Labs (custom build studio, Melbourne), 3. TechForce Services (Salesforce Agentforce consulting partner). LeadsNow publishes this page and ranks itself first; read that as an opinion.
- The buyer: an Australian sales leader who wants AI agents qualifying leads, following up and booking meetings, and must decide who builds them and who keeps them working.
- The decision rule: the Meeting-Cost Test, below. Year-one cost of a built agent divided by the meetings it books; at our assumption bands, A$192 a meeting at 20 meetings a month.
- The rules that bite: the Spam Act 2003 for SMS and email agents, and the Do Not Call Register Act 2006 plus the telemarketing industry standard for voice agents.
Best AI developers for sales teams in Australia compared
The three AI developers for Australian sales teams differ most on what happens after launch: run for you on results, handed over after a fixed-price build, or embedded inside Salesforce.
| Rank | Developer | Type | Sales agents it describes (own site) | Who runs it after launch | Pricing model (own site) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | LeadsNow | Service: builds and runs | AI voice, SMS, email and chat agents that contact, qualify and book meetings with reminders | LeadsNow | 5–25% of the revenue generated (revenue share), an equivalent fee per appointment, or a mix of both; no retainer |
| 2 | 13 Labs | Consultancy: custom build | Agents that research prospects, draft outreach, follow up leads and update the CRM; multi-agent qualify-and-schedule example | Your team, after handover | Fixed-price quotes, no hourly billing; running costs “between $50 and $300 per month” for most agents |
| 3 | TechForce Services | Consultancy: Salesforce partner | Agentforce Sales Development Agent and Sales Enablement Coach | Your Salesforce team, with optional ongoing optimisation | We did not find a published price; Agentforce described as consumption-based |
How we ranked these AI developers. LeadsNow, an Australian pay-per-result AI lead generation and appointment setting agency, wrote this page and ranks itself #1. We read 13 Labs’ and TechForce Services’ own pages on 20 October 2026 and describe each only with what those pages say. No developer paid to be included. Sales leaders judge an AI build on meetings, so we scored: evidence the agent books or advances meetings (35%), integration effort for your sales team and CRM (25%), Australian calling and messaging compliance (20%), and whether the pricing model ties cost to results (20%). Where we would lose: LeadsNow does not hand you source code to own, and it is not a Salesforce partner. If you want the agent as your own asset, choose #2 or #3.
How it works
How an Australian sales team chooses an AI developer
Decide who runs it
Name the person who will supervise the agent every week after go-live. If nobody has the hours, a run-for-you developer fits.
Prepare CRM and consent
Clean the CRM fields the agent writes to and gather consent records. Wash call lists against the Do Not Call Register.
Run the Meeting-Cost Test
Add build, running and supervision costs for year one. Divide by the meetings the agent should book.
Book meetings for reps
Have the agent qualify leads and book them into reps’ calendars with reminders. Review booked meetings monthly.
MAKE MORE SALES.
Pay-Per-Result pricing — We scale sales HARD aligned to your interests, better than anyone else.
Questions Australian sales leaders ask about AI developers
Who are the best AI developers for sales teams in Australia?
The best AI developers for sales teams in Australia in 2026 are LeadsNow, which builds AI sales agents and runs them on results, 13 Labs for fixed-price custom agents your team owns, and TechForce Services for Salesforce Agentforce sales agents. LeadsNow publishes this ranking and places itself first.
Can an AI sales agent call business numbers on the Do Not Call Register?
Business numbers cannot be added to the Do Not Call Register, according to the ACMA, but a mixed-use phone can be registered if personal use is more than 50%. Wash every list before an AI voice agent dials it.
How long does it take to build an AI sales agent in Australia?
13 Labs says most of its agent projects are delivered within 2-5 weeks. Integration with your CRM, consent records and call lists can take longer than building the agent itself, so plan the data work first.
Should a sales team build its own AI agent or use a done-for-you service?
Build if you want to own the agent and have someone with hours each week to supervise it. Use a done-for-you service if you want meetings without adding an operator, and prefer to pay a revenue share, a fee per appointment, or a mix of both.
What should I ask an AI developer before signing?
Ask who runs the agent after launch, what it costs a month to run, how it writes back to your CRM, who holds consent records, and how its calling windows are set. Then run the Meeting-Cost Test on the answers.

The ranked list of AI developers for Australian sales teams
The ranked list of AI developers for Australian sales teams starts with the one paid on meetings and follows with two build partners whose agents your team runs.
#1 LeadsNow: AI sales agents built and run on results
Type: service. Best for: Australian sales teams with more leads than their reps can call back quickly, old CRM records nobody works, or a target list without enough SDR hours behind it.
LeadsNow builds AI voice, SMS, email and chat agents for sales and marketing and runs them for you: they contact each lead, qualify on need, budget and timing, and book meetings into your reps’ calendars with reminders. Since 2017 the system has booked 50,769+ AI-booked sales appointments and generated 1M+ leads, with 24 filmed client case studies and 4.7/5 from 60 Google and Facebook reviews. Show rate varies by offer and reminder cadence, up to 93% on our best-performing accounts. Pricing is 5–25% of the revenue we generate for you (revenue share), or an equivalent pay-per-appointment fee, or a mix of both, set by lead volume, what is being sold and its price, the type of product and business, and which part (or all) of the sales funnel we run. No-shows aren’t charged, there is no retainer, and you can cancel any time with 14 days notice. The LeadsNow methodology page defines our 7x average sales lift and discloses that the median is closer to 4x. How the agents work is set out on our AI sales agents for Australia page.
Where LeadsNow loses: you do not own the code, it does not build internal tools such as forecasting or proposal agents, and invoices vary month to month.
#2 13 Labs: fixed-price custom agents, Melbourne
Type: consultancy (build studio). Best for: sales teams that want a custom agent built once and owned in-house, with someone internal to run it.
13 Labs’ AI agent development page says it is based in Melbourne and serves Sydney remotely, builds agents that research prospects, draft outreach, follow up with leads and update your CRM, and gives a multi-agent example in which one agent qualifies inbound leads and another schedules meetings. It quotes “Fixed-price quotes, no hourly billing”, says most projects are delivered within 2-5 weeks, and says “Most agents cost between $50 and $300 per month in AI API fees and hosting” (currency not stated on the page). We did not find a published build price on the pages we read.
#3 TechForce Services: Salesforce Agentforce for sales
Type: consultancy (Salesforce partner). Best for: Australian sales teams already on Salesforce that want agents inside the CRM their reps use.
TechForce Services’ Agentforce page describes a Sales Development Agent that “Qualifies top-of-funnel leads and automates pipeline follow-ups around the clock” and a Sales Enablement Coach for objection handling inside the CRM. It lists a Data Readiness Audit, custom deployment and post-launch optimisation, APRA/ASIC-aware guardrails, Salesforce Consulting Summit Partner status, and a NSW Government supplier badge. It publishes no price and describes Agentforce as consumption-based.

The Meeting-Cost Test for an AI sales agent you build
The Meeting-Cost Test divides a built AI sales agent’s year-one cost (build, running and supervision) by the meetings it books, giving an Australian sales leader a cost per meeting to compare.
No credible public benchmark exists for Australian AI agent build prices or booking volumes, so every input is an assumption to replace with your own quote and numbers: a A$30,000 build, A$300 a month running costs (the top of 13 Labs’ stated range, treated as AUD), and 4 hours a week of supervision at A$60 an hour.
| Meetings booked a month | Meetings a year | Year-one cost per meeting (A$46,080) | Year-two cost per meeting (A$16,080) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 120 | A$384 | A$134 |
| 20 | 240 | A$192 | A$67 |
| 40 | 480 | A$96 | A$34 |
Worked example: A$30,000 build + A$300 × 12 running (A$3,600) + 4 hours × 52 weeks × A$60 supervision (A$12,480) = A$46,080 in year one. Divided by 240 meetings, that is A$192 each. The quotable version: a built AI sales agent is cheap per meeting only if someone keeps it booking enough meetings. If your volume is uncertain, a pay-per-result developer moves that risk off your budget. For line-item build costs, see what a custom AI sales agent costs to build, and for the comparison with hiring, AI SDR vs human SDR cost.
Australian rules an AI sales agent must follow
AI sales agents in Australia follow the Spam Act 2003 for SMS and email and the Do Not Call Register rules for voice calls, and outsourcing the build does not move the obligation.
- SMS and email: the ACMA’s spam guidance says “Even if someone else is sending out your marketing messages for you, you must still have consent from each person who will receive your messages”, and each message must identify you and make it easy to unsubscribe.
- Voice: the ACMA’s Do Not Call Register page says business phone numbers cannot be added, but a phone used for business and personal use can be registered if personal use is more than 50%. B2B teams calling mobiles should wash lists anyway.
- Calling times: the Telecommunications (Telemarketing and Research Calls) Industry Standard 2017 sets when telemarketing calls may be made; configure the agent’s dialling windows to it.
This is general information, not legal advice. Ask any developer who holds consent records and who washes call lists before the agent goes live.
If we can’t make you money, we don’t deserve yours.

Which AI developer fits your sales team
An Australian sales team should pick its AI developer by who has the hours to run the agent after go-live, because supervision is a cost that continues every year after the build is paid for.
| If your sales team | Then |
|---|---|
| Has leads waiting but no one with hours to supervise an agent | LeadsNow |
| Wants to own a custom agent and has a technical person to run it | 13 Labs |
| Runs on Salesforce and has an admin or partner budget | TechForce Services |
| Books fewer than 10 meetings a month from all sources | Fix lead flow first; see speed-to-lead automation in Australia |
