Most of our competitors are all big agencies.
Meaning that they service hundreds of clients.
This means that you, the client, are not going to be working directly with the founder of the company, who lives and breathes outreach.
You might get handed off to an account manager who is far less experienced than the founder of the company.
We aren’t here to knock the competitors. Belkins and many other large companies are excellent, but this is a reality.
And if you need the absolute best lead generation strategy (list, messaging, etc.), you might not be okay with being passed down to an account manager who has been writing copy for 6 months and is following guidelines from their boss.
They may lack a deep understanding of what’s working right now in the world of outbound sales.
Yes, we will go into what services Belkins offers as a lead generation agency and the differences between us and them.
But just know that if you aren’t willing to compromise and step down from working with just the account manager, you might want to work with a smaller boutique b2b lead generation agency like Salesbread, where you will work with the company’s founder.
Just be aware that some bigger agencies might have the senior account manager handle the sales call at the agency, but it’s important to ask:
Who will be writing the copy, creating the strategy, and building your list?
And if you have a strategy question, who are you going to get on the other side to help you?
Is it really the founder of the company?
At Salesbread, we keep a handful of clients with whom we work closely, between the founder and the client.
Jack at Salesbread will write the copy for your campaigns, build expert ultra-refined lists, and implement the strategies and outreach tactics that will get you the results you want.

You can read this case study here: Outbound Lead Generation Case Study : Booking Meetings with Consultants and Law Firm Owners
In the past 24 months, Salesbread has managed to generate close to 7000 qualified sales leads for our clients. And since 2019, SalesBread clients have averaged a 19.98% reply rate with our ultra-personalized LinkedIn lead generation agency.
And… 48.14% of those replies were either meeting requests or qualified sales inquiries on their product or service.
How do we do this?
Simple…
We focus on high-quality and not quantity outreach.
We would rather send 100 well-written LinkedIn outreach messages to your ideal prospects than thousands of the same generic spammy sales messages to prospects who might not be the perfect fit.
Because of this, we are seeing the following outreach stats on Linkedin :

Our Lead Generation Process
It all starts with a 1-hour kick-off call… and a bit of obsessive, in-depth list-building
This is where we identify the hottest prospects to go after for your business. We go beyond basic list building to identify your ideal customer profile.
This is based on who your current buying customers are.
We analyze this data and look for specific patterns between your current buyers.
The video below explains how we do this:
The video below is an example of how we build prospecting lists for our clients.
But basically, we will ask: What do all your current buying customers have in common?
-
Are they all located in the same area?
-
Do they have similar company sizes?
-
Have they recently been funded?
-
Do they all use social media marketing?
-
Do they use the same CRM tools? Such as Hubspot or Salesforce?
-
Which specific industry are they in? If in healthcare, is it hospitals? Clinics? Psychiatry?
-
Who is the decision maker?
Once we find the commonalities between your current buyers, it’s easier to build look-a-like lists of prospects who need what you’re selling.
Next, we will build a list of target people at these accounts
We will then use LinkedIn Sales Navigator to find the right people to reach out to at these companies.
Just note that Sales Nav is notorious for inaccurate data.
So, you have to know how to use this powerful tool the right way.
This article: Linkedin Sales Navigator Search Tips goes into more detail on how we do this.
We always ensure that our data is 100% accurate before our sales team launches the campaign.
This ensures that you get high-quality leads.
We will then create personalized message drafts.
Now, the fun begins. We will create a series of message outlines for you to review.
We never complicate our messages. In fact, they are very straightforward.
But what sets us apart from many other sales development agencies out there is that we personalize every single message for each person on the list.
We have a personalization expert who will research each prospect and write an intro sentence specifically for the individual.
Check out our CCQ method below:
Once the messages have been written, Jack will return to you after 24 hours with a team-approved message draft.
You will then check that the message is perfect and on-brand.
If you’re happy, the message will be ready for launch.
Follow up and ask for a booked meeting
Our Sdrs then consistently follow up with your ideal prospects. We don’t use automation when responding to a prospect.
We follow up every 3 days until we get a response.
Normally, we follow up between 3 and 6 times. If we don’t get a reply, we will add the prospect to an InMail, cold email or SMS campaign.
Our follow-up messages include even more personalization, ensuring we hook the prospect.
Lastly, we always ask for a booked meeting.
This CTA is low commitment.
For example:
-
Are you available for a quick call?
-
Send me your calendar link, and I will schedule a quick 10-minute meeting
-
Worth a quick call?
Here are some examples of replies we have received from prospects:
Pricing
Salesbread offers free 15-minute strategy sessions, and then if you decide to partner up with us, you can expect our services to cost less than half the price of a full-time SDR. (3k/month.)
Testimonials
Jack and his team at Salesbread is second to none when it comes to lead generation. We’ve worked with them on multiple occasions, multiple campaigns, multiple industries, and plenty of AB testing.
Jack and his team are incredibly nimble, efficient, and effective at getting interested people to talk to you about your product. At one point, we actually had the slow the lead generation down because it was producing so many interested potential customers, we needed to ramp up our ability to accept the leads!
I am highly selective about who I approach and the messaging, Jack managed to identify the right companies, the right titles, and the right messaging that was highly personalized to ensure I didn’t appear like a spam bot.
Investing in Jack and his team is absolutely worth it and will pay for itself.
Collaborating with Jack and the SalesBread team was an exceptional experience. They developed an effective outreach strategy that generated numerous high-quality leads from our target demographic.
Our objective was to swiftly evaluate our market strategy and underlying assumptions, aiming either to generate sales or to gather insights for aligning our market strategy more closely.
The collaboration provided us with invaluable insights, informing adjustments to our market strategy and enhancing our overall business development efforts. Significantly, SalesBread enabled us to acquire these insights much faster than we could have on our own, saving us valuable time.
If you aim to initiate conversations with your target audience, I highly recommend starting with a discussion with Jack.
Jack is an excellent sales expert. He knows his stuff, and he will give straight answers on how you can accomplish your outbound goals.
He takes the time to understand your business and your market, and his experience will let him quickly identify your ideal clients and how to approach them.
I highly recommend Jack for anyone who wants to boost or establish a solid, modern sales approach to B2B sales.

Sales Process
Belkins doesn’t go into detail on how their sales process works for business growth. But they mention that they start with a kickoff call and work hard to book your first qualified sales meeting.
The outbound marketing campaign will be launched in less than a week.
They also mention how they help you close deals from your website to your sales funnel and make sure your sales funnel is ready to convert.
Belkins.io Pricing
Salesbread has worked with a few past Belkins clients and has told us that their services cost between $5k – $14 800k + per month.
The pricing also depends on which level of service you choose.
For example, we worked out, based on what previous Belkin’s clients have said, if you pay $10 700 per month over the course of 3 months, on average, you can expect an appointment to cost around $1 528.57 over the first 3 months.
Side Note: Belkins is substantially more expensive than Salesbread. Their cost per lead is 4 x more expensive than Salesbread.
At Salesbread, you get to work directly with the founder, Jack Reamer, who has been doing nothing but b2b outreach for the past 10 years.
We understand that some companies like working with larger lead generation firms, but if you prefer to work with the founder to strategize your campaign, it might be worth considering Salesbread, especially if you don’t have the luxury of paying $1500 per booked appointment.

But if you would like a more curated price, you would need to hop on a sales call with them.
