Two Ways to Work With Us
Many agencies already have a list, an offer and a script that works when the founder makes the calls. The question is whether you want to manage the caller yourself:
| Hire a Caller | We Call for You | |
|---|---|---|
| Who writes the script | You do, or we help you adapt one | We write it with you and test it |
| Who manages the caller | You, day to day | We do, with daily quality checks |
| The list | Yours | Yours, or one we agree on together |
| Price per full-time caller | $1,499 to $2,399 a month | $2,199 to $3,099 a month |
| Best for | Agencies with a proven script and someone to manage | Agencies that want meetings without managing calls |
Either way, every caller is full-time and works only on your campaign, and every call is recorded.
Who Your Caller Calls
You choose the niche and the area. Agencies tend to call one of two groups, and the conversation is different for each:
- Owners of local businesses, such as clinics, dentists, trades, restaurants, law firms and retailers. The owner decides, so your caller asks for them by name.
- Marketing managers at larger companies, where the caller needs a sharper reason to talk, such as a specific gap in their search results or ads.
The opener works best when it's specific to the business: something your caller noticed about their website, reviews or search results. Our B2B cold calling script template shows how to build one.
What Counts as a Qualified Agency Meeting
Before calls start, agree on what has to be true before a meeting counts:
| Check | What it means for an agency |
|---|---|
| Right business | The industries, locations and company sizes your agency serves best |
| Right person | The owner, or the marketing manager in larger businesses |
| Real reason to talk | A website, ads or search results that are holding them back, or plans to grow |
| Meeting held | They join at the agreed time, rather than just accepting the invite |
A clear definition stops your strategist's calendar filling up with prospects who were never going to buy.

How It Works
- A 30-minute call. Your services, your best clients, your niche, your area and your list.
- Choose the service. Hire a Caller if you'll manage the caller, We Call for You if you want us to.
- Choose your caller. We test callers on role-play calls using your offer. You hear the recordings and approve one.
- Agree on the script and the qualified meeting, and check your list against the local calling rules.
- Calls start in about 2 weeks, in your prospects' business hours, with meetings booked straight onto your calendar.
Callers work from the Philippines, India, South Africa or Latin America. Not sure which fits your market? Our country matcher recommends one in four questions.
Calling Rules for Agency Campaigns
Many agency prospects are small businesses, and some, such as sole traders, count as individuals under calling rules:
- In the US, business numbers are outside the Do Not Call Registry, but an owner's personal mobile may be on it. See cold calling laws in the US.
- In the UK, screen your list against both the TPS and the CTPS, as the ICO's B2B marketing guidance explains. See cold calling laws in the UK.
- In Australia and Canada, legal calling hours apply to business calls too. See the guides for Australia and Canada.
