Frequently asked questions

How does outbound work for a broadly positioned consulting firm?+

It works best when the message narrows to one specific problem the firm solves. Sharper targeting and a concrete client result cut through where broad consulting positioning would otherwise dilute the outreach.

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.
