The short version

Inside SalesZip

SalesZip presents its service around helping companies reach future customers through Sales as a Service. That makes it worth considering if your first task is to define what outside sales help should cover. Start with the work you want someone else to own, then ask SalesZip to put that work into a proposal.

The key buying question is scope. Before comparing totals, ask which activities the proposal includes, who performs them, what your team must contribute and what gets handed back. A custom service needs a clear boundary between the agency's responsibilities and your own. Without that boundary, two proposals can look similar while covering very different workloads.

SalesZip's pricing is customised around the services rendered. Use the published range in the table as a starting point for questions. Ask how the proposed hours translate into actual work, which deliverables those hours cover and how changes to the brief affect the bill. An hourly figure alone cannot tell you whether the engagement fits your operating needs.

Inside Modern Inbound

Modern Inbound provides done-for-you cold email for B2B teams, billed quarterly. Its service is hands-off: the team runs copy and targeting. This fits a buyer who has already chosen cold email as the channel and wants an outside team to operate it.

Modern Inbound buys domains and mailboxes in the client's name, and the first 14 days are a free warm-up. Include infrastructure ownership in your buying checklist. Ask where access lives, which accounts your business owns and what your internal team needs to know before sending begins. The guide to buying cold email domains and mailboxes gives that discussion a practical starting point.

Modern Inbound tests 50 to 100 messaging angles a month. When assessing that work, define your target accounts and offer clearly enough that different messages address a meaningful buyer need. Use the cold email targeting guide to prepare those inputs before comparing agency proposals.

A warm lead is a reply from a real potential buyer, or a route to one, showing interest and a clear next step. Auto-replies, bounces, opt-outs and flat rejections do not count. Modern Inbound hands each warm lead over as an introduction, with no fixed number of leads. Your team should decide who receives those introductions and who takes the next sales step.

Modern Inbound's published proof is 6,000+ warm leads. Use that as background alongside the service details. Your own decision should still rest on the market you want to reach, the offer you sell and your team's ability to act on interested buyers.

Which team fits which

Choose SalesZip if you want to explore a custom sales service and are prepared to define the engagement through a detailed proposal. Choose Modern Inbound if you want a cold email service with copy and targeting handled for you. The deciding question is how specifically you have defined the work you want to outsource.

Write a short brief before approaching either team. Name the buyer, describe the business problem your offer solves and explain what your sales team will do after an introduction. Then compare proposals against the same brief. Our guide on how to evaluate a lead generation agency can help organise the questions.

You can consider using both if each has a separate responsibility. Establish which team contacts which accounts, where introductions go and who owns the next action. Start with one clearly defined assignment, review the work, then decide whether adding another partner solves a specific gap. Avoid paying two teams to pursue the same accounts without a shared plan.
