Episode #6: How to Decide Whether You Need to Outsource or Hire an In-House Sales Development Team
Hosted by:  Joe Vignolo (Outreach.io, Managing Editor) & Kevin Warner (Leadium, Co-Founder & CEO)
Outsourcing your sales development isn’t necessarily a good fit for every organization. While it has the ability to save time and money for some, it simply doesn’t make sense for others. Kevin Warner knows this. As the CEO and outbound sales leader at Leadium, he helps organizations engage in strategic sales development activities that bring you qualified leads. From strategy to execution, they provide full-service support.

On this episode of Outreach's Sales Engagement Podcast, Kevin boils down markets into three categories: 1) Enterprises, 2) Mid-Market, 3) Small-to-Medium. From here he talks through the reasons why outsourcing lead generation and sales development is the right decision for your business.

Machine learning will never replace the human behind sales. But by using meaningful data, sales teams can finally take back control of their pipeline and drive predictable, stable revenue growth.
