In the Transform Sales Podcast #72, Amir Reiter interviews James Snider and Chris Muldoon from Punch! They share their insights on B2B lead generation and outsourced sales. The most valuable lesson from this podcast is the importance of understanding your company’s “sweet spot” for sales agencies. James and Chris suggest that for companies with lower value propositions, an inbound digital approach may be more effective than an account-based sales development approach. They also emphasize the importance of a multi-channel approach for building relationships and creating awareness.
James and Chris talk about how to avoid common mistakes when hiring an agency and how to measure success. They position themselves as true partners to their clients, embedding themselves within their sales organization and holding them accountable for their opportunities. They also coach and consult their clients on sales enablement and nurturing leads. If you’re looking for a boutique agency approach for high-ticket products in the EMEA or UK, reach out to PunchB2B.
