At a glance

Clarify in detail

Clarify's B2B specialists offer strategy services that combine sales and marketing in integrated programmes focused on revenue. That makes Clarify the stronger shortlist choice when your buying brief begins with alignment across those functions.

For example, consider a team whose sales and marketing leaders disagree about which buyers to prioritise or what the central message should be. Start by defining the decisions the engagement must resolve. Ask Clarify to explain how its proposed work would connect those decisions and who inside your company would participate.

Keep the proposal concrete. Request a list of deliverables, named responsibilities, review points and a clear definition of completion. Ask which activities sit inside the proposed scope and which require a separate agreement. These questions help you evaluate a strategic engagement against the actual work your team needs.

Use our guide to evaluating a lead generation agency to organise the shortlist. Apply the same questions to every provider so that a broader strategic proposal and a channel execution proposal remain easy to compare.

Modern Inbound in detail

Modern Inbound sells done-for-you cold email for B2B teams, billed quarterly. It runs the copy and targeting, making the service hands-off for the client. Choose it when the work you want to delegate is running that outbound channel.

Mailboxes and domains are bought in the client's name, and the first 14 days are a free warm-up. Modern Inbound tests 50 to 100 messaging angles a month. When assessing fit, bring a clear description of your offer, your buyers and the commercial problem you solve.

A warm lead is a reply from a real potential buyer, or a route to one, that shows interest and has a clear next step. Auto-replies, bounces, opt-outs and flat rejections do not count. Every warm lead is handed over as an introduction, with no fixed number of leads. Your team should identify who will take the next step after that introduction.

Modern Inbound's stated delivery history is 6,000+ warm leads. Use that context alongside the service scope and your own capacity to follow through. For the planning work, the cold email targeting guide can help you define which accounts belong in your brief.

Who should choose which

Choose Clarify when the buying problem spans sales and marketing strategy. Its integrated approach matches that brief. Before signing, agree which decisions the programme will address and how your internal teams will contribute. A useful proposal should make the intended work understandable to everyone responsible for carrying it forward.

Choose Modern Inbound when you want cold email execution delegated, including copy and targeting. Make sure someone on your team owns the next step after each warm lead introduction. Assess the service against the channel you want to run, the buyers you want to reach and the resources you have available internally.

You can also consider both if you have distinct strategic and execution needs. Give each engagement a separate brief and define how decisions will pass between the teams. Avoid buying overlapping work without an explicit reason. Our comparison of a cold email agency and an in-house SDR offers another way to think through which responsibilities to keep inside your company.
