AI-Powered Sales for Manufacturers
The only full‑service sales partner built exclusively for manufacturers.
We handle everything — marketing, outbound, appointment setting, pipeline, and closing. One client per niche. We never work with your competitor.
Zero new hires. Zero management. Full pipeline ownership.
Sound familiar?
Most manufacturers grow the same way — word of mouth, a few loyal accounts, and an owner who's still doing business development at 6pm.
RFQ volume swings wildly. Slammed one month, spindles sitting idle the next. No steady flow of qualified work.
Work comes from 3–4 customers. Lose one program and it's a crisis, not a setback.
Nobody's hunting tier‑1 OEMs or primes. The accounts that would change the business aren't being pursued at all.
No repeatable system. Growth depends entirely on the owner's personal network — not a process anyone else can run.
Burned by generic agencies. Paid for "leads," got a spreadsheet of names, closed nothing.
The owner is still the sales team. Every hour spent chasing RFQs is an hour not spent running the shop.
Twelve systems. One roof.
Not a lead list. A full sales operation — built specifically for how manufacturing actually gets bought: RFQs, 30–90 day cycles, and program wins.
Defines exactly which OEMs, tiers, and buyers are worth chasing.
Personalized, researched outreach — not a mail-merge blast.
Domains, inboxes, and sending infrastructure built to actually land.
Turns website and RFQ traffic into tracked, qualified pipeline.
Filters tire-kickers before they ever reach your shop floor.
Calls land on your calendar already qualified and ready to talk.
A real person runs your calls — included, not a $150K hire.
Nothing goes cold. Every RFQ gets chased until it's won or dead.
Full visibility from first touch to signed contract, in one CRM.
One system of record — no spreadsheets, no guesswork.
Builds inbound authority so tier-1 buyers find you first.
Know what's closing next quarter — not just what's in the pipe.
Live faster than any agency you've tried.
Most agencies take 60–90 days just to launch. We're already in market by day 10.
ICP built, outreach infrastructure live, first messages going out to targeted buyers.
Qualified conversations on the calendar. Full CRM visibility into every open opportunity.
Signed programs on the books — not just leads, actual closed business.
Proof, not promises
A CNC job shop. Zero new hires. $5M in new revenue.
One client came to us stuck at $6M in revenue, working almost entirely off referrals. In under 18 months, without adding a single salesperson, they were running at $11M.
What manufacturers say
"We tried multiple marketing agencies and even hired two full-time sales reps — minimal results. Since partnering with Scott, his AI system delivered 47 qualified opportunities in 6 months. That turned into $2.3M in new business."
"We wasted over $80K on a marketing agency that didn't understand manufacturing. Scott's AI prospecting system generated better leads in a week than we got in six months with them."
Scott Schlemmer
You work directly with Scott — not an account coordinator. No hand-offs, no junior team learning manufacturing on your dime.
Forge AI was built because generic marketing agencies don't understand how manufacturing actually gets sold: RFQ cycles, tier-1 OEM procurement, the difference between a lead and a program win. We built the system we wished existed when we were running BD for shops like yours.
- We don't stop at leads — we close.
- We know manufacturing sales: 30–90 day cycles, RFQs, tier-1 OEMs, program wins.
- Full pipeline ownership, first contact to signed contract.
- One client per niche — we will never work with your competitor.
Is this the right fit?
We're selective about who we take on. One client per niche means we're all in — or not in at all.
- You already have an in-house BD team hitting quota
- You want a one-time list of names, not an ongoing partner
- A competitor in your niche already works with us
- You're not ready to hand off outbound to someone else
- You're looking for a quick fix, not a real pipeline
- You're comfortable growing on referrals alone
- CNC, precision machining, metal fab, plastics, aerospace, or industrial OEM supply
- $2M–$50M in revenue, ready to scale past word of mouth
- Growth has stalled despite good work in the shop
- Ready to pursue tier-1 OEMs and primes, not just repeat customers
- Want full pipeline ownership, first contact to signed contract
- Willing to work with one partner, exclusively, in your niche
