There are a few things to have in place for Outsourced B2B SaaS Sales to work. The B2B buying process has changed and prospects email and LinkedIN inboxes are flooded. Buyers want to do their own research on a company online before engaging with a rep. There are several things to have in place before it makes sense to hire an outsourced BDR or SDR team to do cold email or LinkedIN outreach:

  • Content - baseline level of blog, video, case studies, product features, alternative to competitor pages, and industry or solution area specific content for the prospect to research at their own pace. This is also needed for matching your specific ICPs (Ideal Customer Profiles) to the right message that will resonate and generate the initial response.
  • Trust - any referenceable customer or partner logos, funding, quotes, experienced management/product team all help to build a bit of social proof.
  • Get listed on SaaS product directory and customer review sites like G2, Capterra, etc. If you can seed this with a few positive customer reviews even better. This may provide some inbound leads and traffic back to your site from buyers building vendor short lists and looking for alternative solutions, and also helps legitimize your company with a bit of third party validation (there is a vetting process with the top directory sites).
  • Build your LinkedIN company presence - share content from the company page and make sure any employees or even key contractors are connected to your company page. This is something a B2B buyer will check before engaging with a startup vendor.

Once these things are in place, response rates will increase and outsourced SaaS sales and services will have a much better chance for success.

How the Process Works

1

Provide us an email address

You provide us access to a temporary corporate email address from your domain - required by some providers to prove ownership (it can be generic like 'listings@yourcompany.com'). We only use this email address for the purpose of submitting/editing/approving listings. You can delete it afterwards if needed or change the password later if you want to keep that as a separate inbox for listings communications.

2

Fill out our form once with your product and company details

Fill out the form once with your full company and product info data (screenshots, pricing, videos, etc) and choose which directories to submit to. Some fields are optional and can be left blank. We'll pull any additional info needed from your website to complete the submissions without a lot of back and forth or asking minor questions. The goal is to get the listings published and links from the directories up and running. You always maintain full ownership of the listings per each site's TOS and you can update/enhance/fill in any gaps at any time.

3

See the live listings

It can take up to 2-3 weeks to get everything submitted and go through the full approval processes for publishing on every site. We will send a weekly email update with published submissions (i.e. 8 out of 20 published so far, here the links, etc.). There is not a guarantee that all 20 will ultimately be reviewed/approved/published but they will definitely be submitted and if there is any missing info or reasons for rejection will pass that info on and work with you to correct (not typical). Once live, we include one round of revisions. Need ongoing help keeping listings up to date? Talk to us and we can help.

Common Questions - FAQs

jeremy@saasboost.io
How do product directories impact SEO?
Directories are generally considered a good targeted referral traffic source with no SEO benefit or harm. We're only placing you in hand picked, relevant product directories and review sites focused on SaaS. After years of abuse and shady SEO practices, Google likely ignores most directory links. Does that mean there's no reason to get listed on these platforms? No, it is still a key product discovery mechanism for serious B2B buyers. SaaS software purchasers are spending time on these sites so it's important to be there with at least a baseline presence to get considered for the short list.
Why do this through SaaSBoost.io?
The main benefit is to save time and headaches - submitting company and product listings is a manual process with a lot of email back and forth and approvals (as well as sales calls and emails from reps selling sponsored directory packages). The process can actually be a little tricky with submitting, formatting, etc. We have VAs that have the process down and everything documented.
Should I submit before I have customer reviews?
There are different strategies here. Obviously it is ideal to have lots of glowing customer reviews, but even if you are not at that stage there are still product discovery benefits to getting listed early. Plenty of buyers may also be intrigued by startups in stealth mode or with new and innovation solutions and approaches. Buyers are often looking for alternatives to the obvious SaaS choices.
You own the listings and can make changes at any time. Need help to frequently update the listings? Contact us and we can likely help streamline this process for you.

No problem - drop us a line and we can set up a time to talk through the process and answer any questions.

Best Outsourced Ad Sales Rep Firms And Services 2021 - Complete Guide - Top 10 Companies Compared

Who this guide is intended for:

Independent Web Publishers, media companies, and website owners and operators that are considering outsourcing or hiring dedicated ad sales sales help and expertise to grow revenue with limited risk/up front investment. The focus is on moving beyond programmatic display and into more integrated, strategic ad products to expand revenues.

Can Outsourced Ad Sales really work? Is there a minimum traffic level or monthly unique visitors required?

For Direct Sales to work, a web property generally must have realistic potential for at least $10K/month (ideally more) in direct ad sales revenue beyond programmatic display. There is not necessarily a specific monthly traffic level - niche B2B, purchase focused websites will command much higher premiums and advertiser demand than B2C or less focused, news oriented sites.
