Questions d'achat
Questions to ask before engaging a B2B prospecting agency
Which channels does your team actually operate?
A multi-channel promise must specify who manages email, LinkedIn, telephone, follow-ups, replies and qualification.
Which published client case studies demonstrate results comparable to our market?
Buyers place greater trust in verifiable proof: sector, target, volume, meetings, pipeline or revenue.
How do you qualify a meeting before adding it to our calendar?
The real cost depends less on the number of meetings than on the level of need, timing, seniority and ICP fit validated before handover.
What deliverability and data infrastructure is included?
Domains, warm-up, enrichment, email verification, Sales Navigator, CRM and tracking determine the quality of execution.
What happens if the first two messages receive no response?
A strong agency must explain its testing protocol: segments, angles, signals, objections, iterations and decision thresholds.
