Average Order Value (AOV) OptimizationThe practice of systematically increasing the average dollar amount per customer transaction through upselling, cross-selling, or bundling. In restaurant contexts, AOV optimization traditionally relies on staff training to prompt upsell suggestions (adding dessert, upgrading to a larger size, suggesting add-ons) - but human staff execute this inconsistently, typically upselling on 5-8% of orders. AI voice agents upsell on 100% of orders, because the prompt is built into the conversation logic and never gets skipped due to time pressure, distraction, or forgetfulness. Christian Wiens cites this as one of three key financial mechanisms Loman delivers: even if only 30% of customers accept an upsell, applying the prompt to every single transaction produces a measurable lift in revenue per call versus the human baseline.B2B2CSelling to businesses that serve consumers.

The strategy serves multiple purposes simultaneously: it builds brand recognition ahead of the sales cycle, creates community around the founder's perspective, generates inbound leads from buyers who self-select based on resonance with the shared thinking, and establishes the founder as an authoritative voice in their category. Dan Bladen credits Kadence's LinkedIn presence with enabling enterprise deals that would have been inaccessible through cold outreach - including replacing a 10-year competitor in nine weeks after the buyer had been following Kadence's content.
