🚀 How to Build a Killer AI Voice Agent for Business (Trucker-Proof Edition)

Introduction

If you're still answering phones manually or missing leads while you're out driving, it's time to let AI handle it. Hervey is back showing how to create a fully automated voice agent using GoHighLevel that doesn’t just talk—it connects, qualifies, and even closes.

This guide covers everything from building the perfect prompt to choosing the right voice and training your AI to handle real-world questions, skepticism, and even curveballs. Whether you’re building it for your business or offering this as a service to others, this AI setup could be your next big money move.

Why Prompts Are the Fuel Behind Great AI
Your AI is only as good as what you feed it. That means you’ve got to build a solid prompt. Hervey starts by explaining how to think like a system designer:

Step 1: Understand the business—What problem does it solve? Who does it serve?

Step 2: Map out the ideal conversation experience from hello to close.

Step 3: Create a prompt that tells the AI how to behave.

Prompt Example:
"You are a warm, helpful virtual assistant for a company that helps truckers and small business owners start a side hustle using AI. Ask for the caller’s name, email, and phone. Explain the free trial offer clearly. Answer questions about pricing with confidence. Be upbeat, helpful, and guide callers without pressure."

Then? Test it. Break it. Tweak it. Like tuning an engine, you’ve got to adjust for real-world performance.

Choosing the Right Voice & Personality
AI voice agents don’t all sound the same. In GoHighLevel, you get multiple voices—young, old, male, female, serious, friendly, and everything in between. Hervey suggests using ChatGPT to analyze your ideal customer and choose a voice that builds trust.

Pro Tip: For small-town business owners, a friendly, no-pressure voice might convert better than a robotic, ultra-professional tone. Match your agent’s personality to your audience.

Training the AI to Handle Real Calls
You don’t just throw the AI into action. You’ve got to coach it. Hervey shows a demo where the AI answers a real call, pitches the service, handles objections, and captures lead data.

Here’s what it handles:

Greeting: Friendly but professional

Explaining the offer: Simple breakdown of side hustle and training

Answering tough questions: “How much does it cost?” “Is this a scam?”

Closing: “Can I get your name and email so we can send you the Easy Button Blueprint?”

This isn’t your average chatbot. It feels real—and that’s what makes it work.

Smarter Testing = Smarter

Agent
Hervey emphasizes pushing your agent to fail. Ask it weird questions. See what it forgets. Look for robotic-sounding responses.

That’s how you find the holes in your prompt. And to track those changes, Hervey uses a Chrome sticky note extension across his browser tabs—a quick way to jot down updates and ideas mid-test. (Hint: Ask him to release it!)

Pricing, Objections & Real Talk
No good system works if it can’t handle pricing conversations. Hervey’s AI is trained to offer a 30-day free trial, followed by plans from $97 to $497/month. It also explains the potential earnings—without hyping false promises.

Best of all, it’s trained to handle skepticism:

Is this a scam? “There’s no credit card required. Try it and see.”

I don’t have tech skills: “You’ll get full training and 1-on-1 coaching.”

How much time will it take? “A few hours a week can get you results.”

That’s what makes this more than a lead capture bot—it’s a sales assistant.

Success Story
One trucker who followed Hervey’s system built an AI voice agent for a few local clients. Within 30 days, he was earning an extra $1,000/month—on top of his driving job. No tech degree, just smart use of prompts and a phone line.

It’s More Than Just Voice
The GoHighLevel platform also lets you build:

AI chatbots

CRM pipelines

Funnel websites

Review monitoring

Workflow automations

Email/SMS marketing

Contracts, invoicing, payments

You can offer this all to small businesses—or use it yourself to build a passive income machine.

Abundance Mindset: Filter, Don’t Force
Hervey even trains his AI to say “maybe this isn’t for you.” If a caller isn’t aligned, it’s better to refer them out or wish them well. That saves time, filters your audience, and builds trust.

You can even recommend a competitor (if you’re bold like that). Why? Because true pros don’t fear competition—they build communities.

Final Thoughts
If you’re a driver or small business owner, this is your blueprint to escape the hourly grind. AI tools are changing the game—and Hervey’s system helps you leverage them without needing to be a coder or marketer.

Whether you want to create a side hustle, offer services to others, or just automate your own business—this is how you start.
