Top 10 Outsourced SDR Agencies to reach out to

1. Salesbread

About

Salesbread is a B2B lead generation agency that specializes in ultra-personalized LinkedIn and cold email outreach.

Since 2019, SalesBread clients have averaged a 19.98% reply rate and 48.14% of those replies were either meeting requests or qualified sales inquiries on their product or service.

Our clients know that when they partner up with us, they can expect 1 qualified sales lead per day.

With over a decade of lead generation and copywriting experience, Jack Reamer, the founder of Salesbread, works along with each and every client. You won’t get handed over to an account manager who might lack the experience to get you sales qualified leads.

Salesbread essentially builds “lead funnels” (using LinkedIn and Email) that gets your ideal customers excited about your offer — even if you don’t have a large sales team or extra time to spend on prospecting.

At Salesbread we believe in low volume, high quality lead gen. This means that we would rather build an ultra-refined list of your ideal target audience, and send each person on that list ultra-personalized well written LinkedIn and cold email messages.

We would rather reach out to 500 prospects who say “yes” to a booked meeting than 2000 prospects who might not be an ideal fit for your product/service.

Our lead generation process

Step 1: Build a list of your ideal customers

We will first ask you WHO has purchased your product or service within the last 6 months. This data will help us look for patterns between your buying customers.

For example:

Do your current buying customers have the following similarities:

  • Are they all located in the same industries? Fintech, tech, SaaS, health and wellness?

  • Where are your buying customers located? In the US? Germany? 10 miles from Florida?

  • How big are these companies? More than 500 employees or less?

  • Have they recently been funded?

  • Do they spend money on social media marketing or SEO?

  • Do they use the same CRM tools? Like HubSpot or Salesforce?

  • Did they recently suffer a huge PR issue?

  • Who are the decision-makers? The CFO? Marketing manager?

When we start looking at patterns between your current buying prospects it helps us create look-a-like lists of accounts to target.

This list-building process usually takes us a week to perfect, and we use various tools to help us build these lists. We actually go off LinkedIn Sales Navigator and use 3rd party data providers, such as:

  • Bombora

  • Crunchbase

  • ZoomInfo

Step 2: Find the right people at these accounts

Next, we narrow down this list even further and find the right decision-makers to reach out to on LinkedIn. We will filter this list by your 2nd degree network.

Why?

Stats have shown that if someone is already in your 2nd-degree network, they will be more likely to accept your connection request.

The reason? They have already accepted someone like you in the past, so the chances of them accepting your connection request will be greater.

We also filter this list by “posted on LinkedIn in the past 30 days.”

The reason for this is that it helps us reach out to prospects who are active on the platform.

There’s no point in sending connection requests to individuals who aren’t actively using Linkedin. We would rather add these prospects to a cold email or SMS campaign.

Once this list is perfect, and everyone on the list has been double-checked by one of our SDRs, we will then move on to the next step.

Step 3: Write personalized connection request messages

Next, we will have our personalization expert research each and every prospect on the list. We do this in order to find something very specific to mention about the prospect in our connection request.

We use a method called CCQ to help us write our messages. CCQ stands for:

  • Compliment

  • Commonalities

  • Questions

So we will either find something to compliment the prospect on, mention a commonality, or ask them a question.

Here are some examples:

1. Hey {{Name}}, since we’re both working in {{commercial real estate}} here in {{San Diego}}, I’d like to invite you to share my network here on LI.

2. {{Name}}, I’m looking to connect with like-minded professionals who are on the {{revenue-generating}} side of things. Let’s connect?

3. Hi {{Name}}, I’m looking to expand my network with fellow business owners in the {{HR Tech}} industry. Looking forward to learning more about what you do and see if there’s any way we can support each other.

4. Hi (Name) LinkedIn showed me your profile multiple times now, so I checked what you do. I really like your {{sales posts}} and would like to connect with you here.

5. Hey (Name) I hope your week is off to a great start, since we both work in the {{HR/Employee Experience}} field together, are you open to connecting?(My background is in employee retention, happy to share insights anytime.)

Do these personalized messages work?

See some of the replies we have received.

Step 4: Follow up consistently and ask for a booked meeting

Next, our salesperson will follow up with the prospects between 3 – 7 times.

We do this every 3 days (This article: The Perfect Outreach Cadence For B2B Sales, explains why.)

You will also notice that our call to action revolves around asking for a quick meeting.

Here are some examples:

Can we target {{=bday+2}} afternoon to discuss [BENEFIT/PROBLEM]?

What’s the best way to schedule 5 minutes to talk?

Would you have some time next {{=day}} to discuss?

If you find the spec interesting, should we set up a confidential chat?

Can we grab a time Thursday afternoon to see if [MY COMPANY] aligns with your goals for this year?

Are you available for a quick meeting to discuss your use case and see if we can assist in any way?
