Quick comparison

Which one fits your team

Choose a delivery model before comparing proposals. Write down the work your team can already perform, the work it wants to delegate and the person who will take responsibility for each new lead. A clear brief gives every agency the same starting point. Use these five criteria when preparing your questions, then record the answers in a shared decision document.

1. Team size and responsibility. Count the people available to research accounts, approve messages and follow up with interested buyers. Ask how much management time the proposed service requires each week. Decide whether you want help running a campaign or developing an internal sales function. The agency versus in-house SDR comparison is a related planning resource.
2. Audience and channels. Specify the sectors, company sizes, locations and job roles you want to reach. Ask each provider to explain why its proposed channel suits those buyers. Request a sample account list and sample messaging for your actual offer. Prepare the audience brief with the ICP definition framework.
3. Contract terms and complete cost. Ask for the service fee, setup charges, technology costs, minimum duration and cancellation terms in writing. Check what happens when you change the audience or campaign volume. Compare proposals covering the same scope and period, and separate optional work from the essential service.
4. Reporting and review. Request an example report before signing. Agree which activity, qualification and commercial measures your team will review. Set a review schedule and identify who can approve changes. Ask how the provider distinguishes new contacts, interested prospects and leads accepted by your sales team.
5. Lead handover. Define the information your sales team needs with each lead, the destination for that information and the expected follow-up time. Ask for an example handover and agree who maintains the records. The agency evaluation guide provides a related checklist for your selection process.

What EngageTech offers

EngageTech describes a managed SDR service tailored to enterprises that want ownership of their SDR function now and in the future. Its prospecting proposition also includes identifying companies likely to buy a customer's product and giving the sales team details to support its approach. These are relevant capabilities for a buyer considering both the development of an SDR function and the information its representatives use to prospect.

Managed SDR pricing is constructed on a bespoke basis to fit requirements, and its pricing page describes custom plans based on exact requirements. Prepare a brief covering your existing team, target audience and desired division of responsibility. Ask for a proposal that identifies the work included and explains how your internal team will participate. Keep service scope and the commercial terms together when reviewing the proposal.

What GSA Business Development offers

GSA Business Development offers database cleaning and validation as either a one-off exercise or regular work, tailored to customer requirements. Its described process includes a comprehensive review and update of the database. That makes its documented offer relevant to teams seeking help reviewing and maintaining an existing contact database.

GSA invites buyers to a consultation to discuss likely costs for their goals. For your brief, identify the database you want reviewed, which fields matter to your team and the format you need returned. Ask how the project will be scoped and how completion will be assessed. If you want recurring work, request a clear description of the review interval and responsibilities between reviews.

What Pearl Lemon Leads offers

Pearl Lemon Leads tailors its cold-calling services to real estate business requirements. It also describes personalised cold-calling strategies designed around the specific needs of a real estate business. This documented specialism makes it an option for property businesses comparing tailored calling support.

Its published service selections include LinkedIn Lead Generation from £2,497+ per month and Multi-Channel Lead Gen from £3,497+ per month. When requesting a proposal, specify the exact service and channel mix you want. Ask for a current written price for that scope, including the audience, campaign responsibilities and handover requirements. Compare a calling proposal with other calling proposals before comparing it with a broader channel package.

What The Lead Generation Company offers

The Lead Generation Company provides a direct contact route for questions about its products and services: 0333 344 3470 and info@theleadgenerationcompany.co.uk. This gives buyers a way to discuss their requirements directly with the company. Pricing is not published on the pages we reviewed.

Prepare a concise enquiry describing your audience, preferred channels and the work you want delegated. Request a service description and itemised proposal covering that brief. Ask which activities are included, who manages the work and what your sales team receives. Keep the agreed qualification criteria beside the proposal so your team can assess the commercial offer against a clear definition of the required work.
