Frequently asked questions
Should a demand generation agency outsource its own outbound?+
Often yes. Running outbound for clients consumes the same capacity needed to run it internally, so an outside program lets the agency keep its own pipeline full without pulling delivery staff off client work.
When should a company outsource sales development instead of hiring?+
Outsourcing fits when you need pipeline faster than you can hire, want to avoid management overhead, or are testing a new segment before committing to headcount.
What is the difference between an SDR and a closer?+
An SDR creates and qualifies opportunities at the top of the funnel. A closer, often an account executive, runs the sales process to a signed deal. SDR outsourcing supplies the first role.
