How to Resell AI Chatbots
Reselling voice AI means partnering with a white-label platform to offer voice AI agents to clients under your own brand, earning 40-70% margins on recurring revenue.
The voice AI reseller model has become one of the fastest paths to building a profitable agency in 2026. Rather than building technology from scratch, you leverage an existing platform, add your branding, and focus on what agencies do best: acquiring clients and delivering results.
Which Trillet product is right for you?
Small businesses: Trillet AI Receptionist - 24/7 call answering starting at $29/month
Agencies: Trillet White-Label - Studio $99/month or Agency $299/month (unlimited sub-accounts)
What Does Reselling Voice AI Actually Mean?
Reselling voice AI means you become the middleman between a technology platform and end clients, marking up the service to generate profit.
Here's how the model works in practice:
You sign up with a white-label platform (like Trillet) that provides the underlying AI technology
You customize the platform with your agency's branding, logo, and domain
You sell voice AI agents to your clients as if it's your own product
Clients interact with your brand, not the underlying platform
You keep the difference between what you charge clients and what you pay the platform
For example, if you pay $299/month for unlimited sub-accounts and charge 10 clients $397/month each, you generate $3,970/month in revenue against $299 in platform costs. That's $3,671 in gross profit before acquisition costs.
How Much Can You Make Reselling Voice AI?
Successful voice AI resellers typically earn $5,000 to $50,000/month in recurring revenue within 12-18 months.
The math depends on three factors:
Factor | Conservative | Moderate | Aggressive |
Clients | 10 | 25 | 50 |
Price/Client | $297/month | $397/month | $597/month |
Platform Cost | $299/month | $299/month | $299/month |
Usage Cost ($0.09/min) | $450/month | $1,125/month | $2,250/month |
Gross Profit | $2,221/month | $9,001/month | $27,301/month |
The key insight: platform costs are fixed (or nearly fixed), while revenue scales linearly with clients. This creates increasingly favorable unit economics as you grow.
What Do You Need to Start Reselling Voice AI?
Starting a voice AI reselling business requires a white-label platform, a target market, and basic sales capabilities.
Essential requirements:
White-label platform subscription: Trillet's Studio plan at $99/month (3 sub-accounts) or Agency plan at $299/month (unlimited sub-accounts)
Target vertical: Pick 1-2 industries to specialize in (home services, real estate, healthcare, legal)
Sales process: Outreach method, demo script, and proposal template
Onboarding workflow: How you'll set up new clients quickly
Not required:
Technical skills (no-code platforms like Trillet handle the AI)
Prior agency experience (though it helps)
Large upfront investment (start at $99/month)
Developers or engineers on staff

How to Choose a White-Label Platform for Reselling
The platform you choose determines your profit margins, client experience, and operational complexity.
Evaluate platforms on these criteria:
Pricing structure: Look for low fixed costs and reasonable per-minute rates. Trillet charges $0.09/min versus $0.12-0.15/min for competitors like Synthflow or Vapi.
White-label completeness: Can you use your own domain? Your own logo? Will clients ever see the platform's branding?
Setup complexity: How long does it take to launch a new client? Trillet's website scraping creates trained agents in 5 minutes.
Sub-account management: Are sub-accounts unlimited or capped? Trillet's Agency plan includes unlimited sub-accounts at $299/month, while competitors often charge per-seat.
Native features vs. add-ons: Compliance tools, calendar integrations, and CRM connectivity should be included, not $200/month extras.
Reliability and support: Native platforms control the entire stack; wrappers depend on 5+ external providers (wrapper → VAPI/Retell → LLM → TTS → telephony). If any layer fails, your clients' phones stop working. Wrappers typically offer Discord community support; native platforms like Trillet provide dedicated Slack channels with engineers who can actually fix problems.
Agency resources: Playbooks, templates, contract examples, and community support accelerate your learning curve.

What Industries Are Best for Reselling Voice AI?
Home services, real estate, healthcare, and legal are the most profitable verticals for voice AI resellers.
These industries share common characteristics that make them ideal:
Industry | Why It Works | Average Deal Size |
Home Services (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) | Miss calls while on jobs, high urgency | $297-497/month |
Real Estate | Lead response speed determines deals | $397-597/month |
Healthcare | After-hours coverage, appointment scheduling | $497-797/month |
Legal | Intake calls, qualification, high-value leads | $597-997/month |
The pattern: businesses where missed calls directly cost money are willing to pay for AI solutions.
Avoid industries with low call volumes, complex compliance requirements you can't address, or razor-thin margins that prevent premium pricing.
How to Price Voice AI Services for Maximum Profit
Price based on client value, not your costs. Most successful resellers charge $297-997/month depending on industry and features.
Pricing frameworks:
Value-based pricing: Calculate what missed calls cost your client. If they lose $500/missed call and miss 10 calls/month, your $397/month service pays for itself immediately.
Tiered pricing: Offer Good/Better/Best packages. Example: Basic ($297/month, core features), Professional ($497/month, integrations), Premium ($797/month, dedicated support).
Industry benchmarking: Research what competitors charge in your target vertical. Position slightly below market leaders if you're new, at parity once established.
Margin calculation example:
You charge: $397/month
Platform cost: $25/month (prorated from $299/unlimited accounts)
Usage (estimated 200 minutes): $18/month
Your margin: $354/month per client (89%)

How to Sell Voice AI to Local Businesses
Lead with the problem, demonstrate with a live demo, and close on ROI.
Effective sales process:
Identify trigger events: Business just got a bad review mentioning slow response? New competitor opened nearby? Perfect timing for outreach.
Lead with pain: "I noticed you're a 5-star plumber, but your last review mentioned a 3-hour callback time. That's costing you jobs."
Demonstrate live: Call your own AI agent in front of the prospect. Let them hear the quality and see the simplicity.
Quantify ROI: "If you miss 20 calls per month and each job is worth $350, that's $7,000 in potential lost revenue. My solution costs $397/month."
Handle objections: Common concerns include "AI sounds robotic" (demonstrate voice quality), "what if it makes mistakes" (explain human handoff), and "I need to think about it" (offer a trial).
Close with urgency: Limited-time pricing, installation slots, or competitive pressure.
