Cold Email Services
With our cold email services, we build your prospect list, prepare the sending infrastructure and manage the campaign through meeting scheduling. Belkins’ cold email service covers the same core work, with a detailed process for handling replies and reengaging prospects.
| Service detail | LevelUp Leads | Belkins |
|---|---|---|
| Targeting and copy | ICP-based lists, audience segmentation and campaign copy approved by you. | Manually vetted prospects and approved sequences tailored to buyer segments. |
| Infrastructure | Domain warm-up, email authentication and ongoing inbox monitoring. | Domain audits, DNS and mailbox setup, followed by gradual sending ramp-up. |
| Execution | Daily management, A/B testing and meeting scheduling. | A/B testing and manual handling of replies, including referrals and later follow-ups. |
You approve the audience and campaign copy before we launch. From there, our team manages daily execution and tests the messaging, giving you an outbound email program without adding campaign management to your sales team’s workload.
The important handoff happens after someone replies. Belkins describes manual responses to interested prospects, referrals and requests to reconnect later. When choosing your service, look at how those conversations become qualified meetings. That matters more to your closers than the number of emails sent.
Cold Calling Services
If your team rarely has time to pick up the phone, our cold calling services provide the caller, contact data and campaign support to keep prospecting moving. Belkins offers standalone and intent-based calling, including follow-up after a prospect engages through another channel.
| Service detail | LevelUp Leads | Belkins |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery | An experienced caller, direct-dial data, a parallel dialer and campaign support. | A calling agent and account manager, with researched contacts and tailored scripts. |
| Campaign design | Approve a sample list and campaign approach before daily outreach begins. | Choose standalone calling or follow-up based on signals such as LinkedIn engagement. |
Our calling packages give you a practical way to add regular phone outreach around a defined audience. You review the sample list and campaign approach before launch, so we can work through targeting and messaging together before the first calls.
Belkins’ intent-based option is relevant if you already generate engagement and want callers to follow it up. For a campaign built around new prospects, focus on the allocated calling capacity and the quality of conversations. Dials tell you how much work took place; qualified meetings tell you whether it reached the right people.
LinkedIn Lead Generation Services
Our appointment-setting campaigns use LinkedIn messaging to connect with decision-makers and develop sales conversations. Belkins’ LinkedIn lead generation service combines direct outreach with content and engagement, including posts and event-related campaigns.
| Service detail | LevelUp Leads | Belkins |
|---|---|---|
| Direct outreach | Messaging to build relationships and book meetings with target buyers. | Connection requests, direct messages and follow-ups aimed at meetings. |
| Campaign role | LinkedIn prospecting alongside email and cold calling in omnichannel packages. | LinkedIn outreach combined with content, comment engagement and nurturing. |
Choose our omnichannel support when you want LinkedIn working alongside email and calling toward the same meeting goals. Our SDR packages specify one outreach profile for fractional and full-service support, and two for Growth.
If you also need executive posts and ongoing interaction with prospects’ content, include those deliverables in your brief. Belkins brings those activities together in its LinkedIn service. Profile content, direct messaging and paid promotion each require a defined scope; an outreach allocation alone does not include all three.
Lead Research and List Building Services
Give your reps a list they can work with. Our list-building service creates custom contact lists around your ideal customer profile, or ICP, with a sample for you to approve. Belkins’ lead research service also uses test leads and adds addressable-market assessment and database enrichment to its research offer.
| Service detail | LevelUp Leads | Belkins |
|---|---|---|
| New contact lists | Custom lists with sample approval; pay-per-contact purchasing with a 1,000-contact minimum. | Manual research, test leads for review and an assessment of the addressable market. |
| List review | Sample list for your approval before the final list is built and delivered. | Test leads for review, with feedback used to refine targeting. |
For a team that already runs outreach, our pay-per-contact model makes list building a defined purchase with a 1,000-contact minimum. We handle the research and deliver the list; your team owns the next conversation. You can buy the data you need without also buying an appointment-setting campaign.
If the problem is an outdated database rather than a shortage of contacts, Belkins’ enrichment service is worth reviewing. For a new list, start with a sample that proves company fit, the right roles and usable contact details. That is the foundation your reps need before they can qualify interest.
Appointment Setting and Lead Qualification
Our appointment-setting service takes the work from prospect research through qualified meetings in your calendar. You set the qualification criteria with us, and our SDRs handle outreach and follow-up. Belkins’ appointment-setting service also covers qualification and booking, with reminders, no-show recovery and meeting briefs.
| Service detail | LevelUp Leads | Belkins |
|---|---|---|
| Qualification | Our SDRs use criteria agreed with you; you approve the list and script before outreach. | SDRs qualify interest and readiness through direct conversations. |
| Booking and follow-up | Qualified appointments booked into your calendar, with account nurturing and follow-up. | Calendar booking, reminders, no-show recovery and a meeting brief for your team. |
You stay involved where your knowledge matters most: deciding which companies to approach, what to say and what makes a meeting worthwhile. We manage the prospecting work around those decisions, so your salespeople can spend their time preparing for and progressing opportunities.
For example, a meeting with the right company can still be a poor fit if the contact has no relevant responsibility. Agree on the role, need and reason for the conversation before launch. Track attended, qualified meetings separately from bookings so your team can see what it actually received.
Discuss Your Appointment-Setting Goals
Outsourced SDR Services
A sales development representative, or SDR, handles prospecting and early qualification. Our fractional SDR service adds part-time capacity; our full-service SDR support covers daily sales development operations. You can choose the level of involvement your pipeline requires.
| Service detail | LevelUp Leads | Belkins |
|---|---|---|
| Team model | Fractional SDR for part-time support; full-service SDR for daily sales development operations. | Appointment setting uses available team resources; outsourced SDR involves recruiting and training a dedicated unit. |
| Working rhythm | Package-specific dashboards and check-ins, with weekly calls in full-service and Growth. | Weekly review sessions and HubSpot-based activity tracking in the outsourced SDR service. |
Fractional support suits a team that can close deals but needs help keeping prospecting consistent. Full-service support is the stronger fit when you want daily outbound operations managed for you, from account research and messaging through qualified handoff.
Belkins’ outsourced SDR model involves recruiting and training a team specifically for your engagement, while its appointment-setting service uses available team resources. Belkins positions the dedicated model for a validated go-to-market approach and longer-term planning. That makes team recruitment and the stage of your outbound program useful deciding factors.
Pricing and Engagement Options
Your campaign budget should reflect the work you need handled. LevelUp Leads offers SDR packages, individual channel services and contact-list purchasing. Belkins offers monthly retainer packages and custom engagements. The starting figures below refer to different published offers.
| Service detail | LevelUp Leads | Belkins |
|---|---|---|
| Published pricing | Lead generation packages start at $5,000. Cold-calling plans are advertised from $5,000 per month. | Appointment setting advertises an average starter price from $5,000. Pricing plans are described as monthly retainers. |
| Buying options | SDR tiers, channel services and a separate pay-per-contact list-building offer. | Growth, Growth Plus and Enterprise offers; the small-business option uses ecosystem partner agencies. |
For ongoing outbound, compare the full commitment: setup, monthly delivery, the minimum term and any additional services. Fractional describes the amount of SDR support, so confirm contract terms separately. Belkins’ small-business offer uses partner agencies; establish who will deliver the quoted work before you commit.
Budget Around Qualified Meetings
A lower fee is useful only if the service covers the work your sales team needs. Compare total campaign cost against expected attended, qualified meetings, using the same audience and qualification standard. Confirm any promised results in the proposal.
38 Meetings Booked for Jotform in Three Months
Jotform wanted to engage Basic users with Enterprise potential but needed more lead-generation capacity. We ran a focused cold-calling campaign, using data analysis to refine the audience. The campaign booked 38 meetings over three months, as reported in our Jotform case study.
For Jotform, the job was specific: find the users worth approaching and start the right conversations. Your campaign will have its own audience and targets; results vary by engagement.
