Do you outsource sales? If so how?

Curious to know if you outsource sales, who you used and your experiences?

  1. 2

    I used to outsource a part of the sale process for my cold emailing campaigns.
    The process :

    • defining the target (market, job title, company size, country...)
    • collecting leads
    • creating the email campaign (email template, scenario..)
    • cold calling depending on the result of the email campaign

    The part of collecting leads was outsourced to freelancers in China. We payed 0,5€ per lead (email address & other infos)

    I think you should divide your sale process in order to know if you can really outsource everything, or just one part of it.

      How successful were the Chinese freelancers?

        My advice is:

        1. to define a really clear process for them
        • because lack of communication can cause a lot of misunderstanding
        1. to find the good one
        • because some freelancers where really bad and was doing no cense things (and others were find).

        It just takes times but when you've a great process and good people it just works

    Curious, are you asking for your own business? or thinking of offering it as a service?

    I would think it would be a hard thing to outsource. Is it the process or the sales person? Would think it would need to be mid sized orgs with a decent process already in place.
