Frequently asked questions

What is the best time to do outbound for a recruiting agency?+

The moment a target company posts a relevant role. Outreach timed to active hiring signals reaches the buyer when the need is urgent, which lifts reply and conversion rates well above untimed prospecting.

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?+
