Frequently asked questions

How do professional services firms generate pipeline without partners selling full time?+

By outsourcing the prospecting layer. A managed program books qualified conversations into partners' calendars so the senior people who deliver the work only step in once a fit prospect is ready to talk.

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.
