Frequently asked questions

Why do digital marketing agencies struggle with their own lead generation?+

Because client work always comes first. Agencies are excellent at marketing for clients but rarely have dedicated capacity to prospect for themselves, which is exactly the gap an outsourced program fills.

What is the difference between account based outbound and broad lead generation?+

Broad lead generation casts wide to find fit. Account based outbound starts from a fixed list of high value accounts and works multiple contacts inside each one with tailored messaging.
