Why is there a three-month minimum?+−
Because outbound compounds. Month one builds and warms your infrastructure, month two optimizes sequences from real reply data, month three is when the system hits its stride. Judging outbound on 30 days is like judging a gym membership on week one. After month three you're month-to-month - if we stop performing you can leave anytime, and you keep every domain, inbox, and prospect list we built.
What's my risk if it doesn't work?+−
A three-month engagement at $2,500/month plus about $350/month of infrastructure you keep either way - that's the honest exposure. Here's the alignment: after month three we're month-to-month, so keeping you means performing every single month, with no long-term contract doing the retention work for us. And if you ever leave, the infrastructure - domains, mailboxes, warmed reputation, prospect data - goes with you, not us. We built the model so churn hurts us more than it hurts you.
How much does outbound lead generation cost?+−
It depends on whether you build in-house or outsource. Hiring a single SDR costs $5,500+/month in salary alone - before tools ($3K-5K/month), training, and management overhead. Most outbound agencies charge $3,000-8,000/month with six-to-twelve-month contracts. LeadHaste starts at $2,500/month with a three-month initial engagement, then month-to-month - all 35+ software tools included in one bill. Sending infrastructure (50 domains, 100 inboxes) adds about $350/month at cost, registered in your name from day one. Two optional add-ons sit on top: LinkedIn outreach from $697/month per profile (or $997/month for a managed agent profile), and the AI-assisted reply agent at $997/month - each with a $300 one-time setup.
How much of my time does this take?+−
Week one: a kickoff workshop of about two hours, plus a few Slack questions while we build. After launch: 30-45 minutes a week reviewing conversations and approving targeting changes. You take the meetings; we do everything else.
What buying signals do you monitor?+−
Funding rounds, leadership and champion moves, promotions, hiring surges, understaffed teams, downsizing, tool changes and stack gaps, expansion filings, property moves, and company news - twelve families in total, monitored continuously. Campaigns launch from signals, not from purchased lists.
Aren't meetings only as good as the offer behind them?+−
Partly - and we say so upfront. The discovery call exists to tell you honestly whether your offer and deal size fit outbound before you spend anything. Once we're live, messaging is iterated weekly against real reply data, and every meeting arrives with a briefed rep: why they replied, which signal fired, and the company intel, in your CRM before the call. Closing is your team's craft; everything up to that handshake is ours.
Can't I just set this up myself?+−
Technically, yes. Practically, it takes 6–8 weeks, 35+ tool subscriptions ($3K–5K/month in software alone), and a dedicated person to manage it all. Then there's deliverability - one wrong move and your emails land in spam for months. We've built these systems hundreds of times and can have yours live in days, not months. Most clients who tried DIY first tell us they wish they'd started here.
What happens after the first three months?+−
You choose. Most clients continue month-to-month - the system keeps compounding from your warmed domains and growing dataset, and month six typically outperforms month one on the same budget. If you'd rather stop, you keep everything: domains, inboxes, prospect data, playbooks. No wind-down fees, no hostage accounts.
