The 2026 AI Sales Benchmark Report
Citation-ready statistics from 10,400+ outbound AI SDR campaigns across 12 industries. Every number below is free to quote in your own research, blog or deck, with a link back to this page.
How this benchmark was compiled
The dataset covers 10,400+ outbound campaigns run on Jobix.AI between Q4 2025 and Q1 2026, spanning real estate, healthcare, financial services, SaaS, insurance, home services, recruitment and legal. Figures are aggregated and anonymised at account level, so no individual customer, contact or recording is identifiable. Where an external source is used for the human-team comparison, it is named alongside the number.
Response time and coverage
Median lead-response time on AI-driven outbound is measured in seconds rather than hours, because the agent dials the moment a record enters the queue instead of waiting for a rep to work down a list. Average in-conversation response latency is under 500ms, which is what keeps a call feeling like a conversation. Coverage runs around the clock across time zones, inside quiet-hour rules, at a platform capacity of 100,000 calls per day against a 99.5% uptime SLA.
Channel-level performance
The report breaks results out by channel: voice pickup-to-conversation rate on outbound dialling, reply rate on AI-personalised email against unpersonalised cold email baselines, click-through on opt-in SMS nurture, and the share of inbound website chats resolved without a human handoff. Multi-channel cadences consistently outperform single-channel ones, mainly because follow-up persists across voice, email and SMS rather than stopping at one unanswered call.
Cost per productive hour
Jobix.AI is $9.99 per hour all-inclusive, covering telephony, voice, messaging, workflow and dashboards, with a standard LLM included and premium models as a paid add-on. The comparison figure for a loaded US SDR uses base salary plus benefits and tooling divided by productive hours, sourced from BLS 2025 data. Because AI billing follows hours rather than headcount, the gap widens on campaigns with uneven volume and narrows on teams already running at full utilisation.
