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.

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.
