What is Lead Generation Services?

Lead Generation Services are third-party providers that use a variety of tactics to generate leads, which could be as high in the final as a contact lead, down through sales qualified, and everything in between.

Their goal is to help you fill the top of the funnel by identifying and attracting prospects interested in what you offer.

Key features of the best Lead Generation Services

Key features? There’s a broad range, from targeted outreach, data enrichment, email campaigns, and sometimes even AI-driven insights. It’s all about precision and efficiency.

Benefits of Lead Generation Services

The main benefits? Easy. More qualified leads, less time wasted on cold calls, and a pipeline that’s always flowing.

Who uses Lead Generation Services

Who uses it? Sales teams, marketing departments, and sometimes even small business owners. Basically, anyone who needs a steady stream of leads to keep their sales engine running.

Implementation of Lead Generation Services

Implementing lead generation services is usually pretty straightforward. They often provide a list of leads in a .CSV filter that could be easily uploaded wherever you like.

The trickiest part is defining exactly what a lead means to you and your service provider.

Many a demand gen marketer have been oversold on content syndication “leads” that underperform, underwhelm and ultimately, frustrate sales teams.

However, if you can find the right generation service provider for your needs, are you able to set up a process that works,  you’ll have a reliable source of leads.

Comparing Lead Generation Services

Comparing them? Belkins is good for personalized outreach, INFUSEmedia excels in content-driven leads, and CIENCE is a more for data-driven lead gen strategies. Each has its own flavor, so it depends on your taste.

Pricing: the cost of Lead Generation Services

Cost varies. Depending on the service and the scale of your needs, you’ll pay anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars a month.

Sometimes, the price is determined by the cost per lead, which will depend on several factors, including how specific your targeting is and how qualified the lead needs to be. (In my experience at B2B companies with 5-figure ACV solutions, it’s been roughly ~$40/lead with content syndication.)

It’s an investment, but one that could pay off in spades.
