Frequently Asked Questions
Cost vs a UK hire?
From £950/month (~£11,400/yr) vs ~£28k–£38k UK — up to 67% less.
What does a lead generation specialist do?
Researches and verifies prospects, builds targeted lists, enriches and cleans data, and feeds your sales/outbound team a steady flow of qualified leads.
Is this the same as appointment setting?
No — a lead-gen specialist builds the list and data (top of funnel); an appointment setter contacts those leads and books meetings. They work well as a pair.
Better than buying lead lists?
Far better — bought lists are generic and often stale. A dedicated specialist builds fresh lists tailored to your exact ICP and keeps the data clean.
Which tools?
LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, ZoomInfo, Clay and similar, plus your CRM — in your setup.
Is data sourcing GDPR-compliant?
Specialists are briefed on compliant B2B data sourcing and work to your data policies. You control how data is stored and used.
UK hours?
Yes — aligned with your sales team. Standard hours are 9–6 with a one-hour lunch; if you don't run on typical hours, your hire can work whatever full-time hours you need.
How fast to start?
3–4 weeks typically.
How is quality measured?
By list accuracy, deliverability and downstream conversion — reported so you can refine targeting.
Not the right fit?
90-day guarantee — if you're unhappy in the first 90 days, we replace within two weeks at no extra cost.
