The Number 1 B2B Lead Generation Agency as Selected by DesignRush Is...
Belkins is an expert in B2B lead generation in more than 15 industries, focusing on precise audience targeting and highly qualified B2B leads. Its teams of mid to senior-level lead acquisition specialists offer flexible, results-oriented strategies and initiatives to ensure a consistent stream of vetted leads for your business.
The B2B lead generation company has brought productive lead generation to dozens of B2B companies like Deluxe Modular. A New York-based construction company, Deluxe Modular, approached Belkins to help them create precise lead data, optimize outreach workflows, and build business inboxes. The agency also had to develop measures to increase the company’s email open rates.
Belkins started by building a clear lead generation workflow based on the client’s Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) and search data. It also developed an outreach campaign across multiple channels and introduced an email deliverability solution to boost open rates and address spam issues.
By the end of the first month, Belkins secured eight appointments and more than ten leads for follow-ups. After three months, it scheduled 30+ appointments. Some of these appointments eventually converted into close deals valued at over $2 million.
Notable clients: Amazon Web Services, Delphix, Lacework, RingCentral, Dell Technologies
UnboundB2B specializes in qualified lead generation by building customer interest and demand for clients’ products and services. It uses precise targeting and intent data analysis to identify and engage with high-value prospects, while diverse strategic messaging helps solidify their interest in the client’s brand.
A US-based software company recently partnered with UnboundB2B to expand to niche markets and build its customer base. The company’s sales strategy was also faltering, so the agency had to find a solution that would result in a more productive sales pipeline.
UnboundB2B leveraged its expertise in highly qualified lead (HQL) generation and account-based marketing (ABM) strategies to identify key B2B decision-makers it targeted later with relevant content. In three months, the campaign generated nearly 1,180 high-quality leads, a 178% increase in conversion rates, and more than doubled the client’s initial ROI.
From market research to appointment setting, Callbox offers comprehensive lead generation services tailored to the unique needs of your business. Clients can choose from human and AI-curated B2B leads that cover major and niche industries across 60+ countries.
A US B2B marketing solutions provider hired Callbox to help it reach out to prospects who were interested in client’s services. While most of the database existed already, the client couldn’t handle an extensive number of targets. The incomplete information in the database resulted in lower call quality and revenue.
To address these problems, Callbox conducted data cleansing, validated all database contacts, retrieved missing details, and removed duplicate entries. The agency then reached out to profiled contacts and scheduled appointments for them to learn more about the client’s products and services. Twelve weeks later, the client had 30% more deals closed per month, raising their potential revenue by $200,000 or more. Calls also increased by 16% to 150 on average per day, while call quality rose from 76% to 90%.
Trusted by startups and Fortune 500 companies alike, the Martal Group has provided thousands of qualified B2B leads to businesses worldwide. Its team of sales experts uses real-time data to track down prospects looking for products and services within the target industry and engage decision-makers with a fully customized outreach program. The agency also has extensive experience in lead generation solutions for tech companies, offering a calculated and data-driven approach to enable tech brands to stand out from the competition and accelerate growth.
Martal Group has been instrumental in the successful B2B sales pipeline for Clickworker, a large IT micro-tasking platform. Clickworker needed Martal to develop a go-to B2B market strategy for targeted segments, nurture warm leads and close contracts, and oversee the company’s overall sales and marketing processes.
Martal Group built a new revenue stream from scratch, closed deals with 60+ companies, including agreements with three Fortune 500 companies, and reinforced the entire marketing and service processes of Clickworker’s US operations. Since then, the Martal Group helped bring over $1.2 million in annual sales.
SalesRoads uses conversation-based sales methodology to deliver exceptional B2B appointments to your business. It offers a comprehensive 4-week campaign plan that includes the creation of a sales playbook, a custom CRM setup and lead database, and sales development representative (SDR) training and support.
SalesRoads has partnered with Parker Hannifin, a leading motion control systems manufacturer, to help it identify new customers and expand further into existing markets. The B2B lead generation agency was also tasked to conduct an outbound lead-generation campaign to support these objectives.
After conducting a series of discovery sessions to determine the scope of the campaigns, SalesRoads sourced prospects from a trusted data provider according to set criteria, while sales-qualified leads (SQLs) were processed and distributed to Parker Hannifin’s distributors. Personal visits and follow-ups were also conducted to further qualify and identify opportunities. In total, SalesRoads identified over 540 SQLs for the client, bringing an estimated value of $25 million per year.
Notable clients: Equifax, TechData, Western Union, Miele, Amazon Shipping
The Telemarketing Company (TTMC) is among the world’s leading specialists in telephone-based lead management, demand creation, and data services. The agency employs hundreds of marketing specialists to provide multilingual B2B lead generation services to companies, including blue-chip organizations, worldwide. It also provides bespoke solutions that address the complex and evolving requirements of its customers.
TTMC has been an invaluable partner for industry leaders like Equifax, one of America’s largest credit reporting agencies. Facing a series of challenges with its previous marketing and operations model, Equifax approached TTMC to develop and implement a ‘best-in-class’ demand generation and operation strategy. The agency also had to improve lead quality, streamline processes, and reduce lead response times.
In collaboration with a B2B digital specialist, TTMC developed a comprehensive onboarding program to map out the new processes. It also streamlined lead management, including setting up inbound phone lines to manage phone inquiries and conduct a thorough sales qualification process. As a result, Equifax hit its marketing lead targets, with sales teams increasing high-quality leads by 131% and 300% more opportunity value year on year.
Ironpaper is a digital growth specialist that helps B2B clients achieve growth through qualified lead acquisition, account-based marketing, demand generation, and inbound marketing strategies. Its goal is to enable businesses to engage qualified buyers, improve lead acquisition rates, and accelerate their sales pipeline.
One of Ironpaper’s more notable clients was Shell’s new Catalysts & Technologies business. As it started to build its marketing capabilities, the company delegated Ironpaper to kickstart its lead-generation processes.
After establishing its digital foundations, Ironpaper launched a series of initiatives to generate followers, increase leads, and flesh out the customer journey. This involved launching highly optimized paid ad campaigns, creating ABM-driven microsites, and generating content targeting key stakeholders. Following its successful launch, Shell Catalysts & Technologies saw a 44% increase in leads generated per week with a 6.2% higher website-to-lead conversion rate.
Respect.Studio offers its skills and expertise in building high-value lead generation strategies and establishing relationships with key decision-makers in the B2B industry through the LinkedIn network. Its services include identifying ideal prospects on LinkedIn, developing outreach strategies, and managing lead databases, among others. The B2B lead generation firm combines and optimizes those activities to maximize sales opportunities and conversions.
Respect.Studio’s lead generation campaign for Paragon, a US-based facility management company, showcases how LinkedIn lead generation and messaging can result in hot leads. Paragon turned to Respect.Studio to help them expand their industry connections through LinkedIn and attract large companies from the consumer goods, logistics, and supply chain industry.
Taking a more quality-oriented approach to outreach, Respect.Studio engaged with prospects with hyper-personalized messaging highlighting the client’s experience with enterprise-level companies. The B2B lead generation agency also helped polish Paragon’s LinkedIn profile to make it more credible and trustworthy. This eventually proved worth the effort, as Paragon had a 290% increase in visits without spending a single dollar on ads. The client’s LinkedIn Social Selling Index (SSI) rank also rose to 62, which was 3x higher than the industry average.
Notable clients: Bulu Group, SoftServe Business Systems, Pharmax, Tricent, Runit Systems
SalesAR offers lead research and appointment-setting services using tried-and-tested in-house methodologies to boost income and brand visibility. It uses the latest tools, technology, and practices throughout the lead generation processes and has experience working with B2B clients across 40+ industries. The agency provides anti-spam services to improve email deliverability and the overall success of outreach campaigns.
The Bulu Group, an online marketplace solutions provider known for their signature ‘Bulu Box,’ partnered with SalesAR to secure qualified leads and transition them to their sales pipeline. The leads also had to meet distinct ICP criteria and must align with the company’s interests in the food, nutrition, vitamins, supplements, and pet industries.
SalesAR took a structured yet highly adaptable approach to lead generation with the client’s unique requirements. This included fortifying Bulu Group’s existing database with 1,000 new diverse leads, fully customized content adapted to the campaign’s needs, and dynamic outreach to prospects on LinkedIn and email. This multi-pronged strategy resulted in 5,000 new contacts, including 15 successfully booked appointments.

Filling a huge pipeline gap across multiple markets in Europe and the Middle East with direct and channel leads was challenging.
To deliver the leads needed, Inside Global took on an ABM approach during the prospecting process. This enabled the agency to generate eligible leads that accelerated opportunities and generated revenue. Within two months, Inside Global generated 89 eligible leads that continue to grow.

A B2B lead generation company specializes in identifying buyers for a business-to-business (B2B) product or service and encouraging them to make a purchase. They work closely with sales and marketing teams to develop and refine strategies to attract the right audience and guide them into the sales funnel.
A B2B lead generation company can:
Find businesses most likely to buy the client’s products and/or services
Get their attention through phone calls, email, or other channels
Help prospects learn more about the client and what they offer
Connect clients with potential buyers
Four types of B2B lead generation agencies include:
Full-service agencies: Offer a full range of lead generation services across multiple industries. They also have content creators, designers, marketing staff, and other specialists in-house to provide relevant services.
Specialized agencies: Focus on specific markets, industries, and lead generation strategies. These agencies work with specific clients or industries like healthcare, finance, etc.
Outsourced sales development agencies: Specialize on sales development aspects within lead generation, such as identifying qualified leads, nurturing leads, and scheduling appointments with prospects
Analytics agencies: Offer services mainly related to data-driven lead generation insights. They can use that data to determine the progress of a lead generation campaign and ways to improve it.
Lead generation services are playing an increasingly larger role in B2B businesses, with 85% of B2B companies citing lead generation as the main goal of their marketing initiatives. One such company is PCS Software, a trucking management software provider, which hired New York-based agency Ironpaper to redesign its website to generate more leads. The new website also had to include buyer-specific messaging to improve conversions and user experience.
After a thorough assessment, Ironpaper identified inefficiencies in how the client’s website generated leads. It then set up a workshop to address and resolve these issues in collaboration with the business and technical teams. The agency also developed a scalable modular website infrastructure and a comprehensive SEO and content marketing campaign. In less than six months, the new PCS website saw its visits increase by more than 17,000. It also ranked highly in 108 keywords and saw its position in Google rise by 155+ points.
What services do B2B lead generation agencies provide?
B2B lead generation companies offer various services to help businesses find and attract potential clients. Most companies typically offer a combination of the following:
Market research: Provide insights into market trends and competitors and help you identify your business's ideal customer profile (ICP) using various tools and data sources. They may also test product and service potential to determine if it resonates well with potential customers.
Lead research: Review the ICP and analyze the total addressable market (TAM) to identify suitable decision-makers within the target organization. The leads are then segmented to enable delivery of custom messages.
Appointment setting: The agency sets up meetings between the sales team and prospective clients. It typically provides reminders to leads on upcoming meetings and follow-up no-shows for rescheduling.
Multi-channel outreach: Create and execute campaigns through various channels, including email and social media. The campaigns are customized according to ICP and research data and constantly monitored in case adjustments are needed.
Lead qualification and nurturing: Leads are evaluated according to specific criteria to ensure purchase intent and alignment with the client’s goals. The agency then builds relationships with qualified leads, guiding them through the sales funnel until they are ready to act.
Contact list creation: Compile lists of target contacts based on the client’s ICP and other data. The list typically includes decision-makers and other relevant stakeholders within the target organization.
Database management: Regularly update the client’s databases for potential leads. This ensures sales and other teams have accurate, up-to-date information during outreach initiatives.
Belkins’s partnership with Deluxe Modular is another excellent example of how lead generation services can help B2B companies flourish. A large-scale modular construction specialist, Deluxe Modular needed help producing unique, hand-curated leads, optimizing outreach workflows, and building business inboxes. Belkin also had to increase the number of opens and ensure all the emails reached their intended recipients.
Belkin began by building a lead generation process tailored to the Deluxe Modular’s ICP and developed an outreach campaign based on a newly built database. It then introduced an email deliverability system to monitor campaign performance, increase open and response rates, and maintain spam rates to a minimum. Within three months, Belkin scheduled 30+ appointments for Deluxe Modular, with confirmed deals valued at over $2 million.
How much do B2B lead generation companies charge for their services?
B2B lead generation company service fees depend on the industry, target market, competition, and other factors. However, lead generation agencies commonly charge clients through the following pricing models:
Fee-for-service: The company charges a fixed rate for a specific scope of work. The fee is based on a set of criteria and is calculated on an hourly, monthly, or project basis. For example, the US hourly rate for B2B lead generation services averages $22.
Cost-per-appointment: The agency charges a fee for each lead it successfully sets an appointment for. US-based agencies typically charge $150 to $350 per appointment depending on the type of leads requested and difficulty acquiring them.
Cost-per-lead (CPL): The company charges a fee for generating a new customer or lead. The CPL varies widely depending on its value and where it was sourced. For example, B2B leads generated through blogs or white papers can be as cheap as $5 per lead, while leads sourced from trade shows and industry events can cost $500 or more.
Customer discounts, freebies, and other incentives
Location of the targeted audience
Software and technology used
Additional service fees (usually 1-3% of the cost of the client’s product or service)
In the US, the hourly rate for charged by B2B lead generation companies averages at $22, while appointment fees range from $150 to $350 depending on the type of leads requested by the client and the difficulty acquiring them. The average cost of CPLs also range between $119 to $198 depending on the industry, channel, and company size.
Why should I hire a B2B lead generation company?
A B2B lead generation company can provide expertise, tools, and other resources needed for an effective lead generation campaign that would be otherwise difficult to achieve on your own.
Though results may vary from one company to another, a B2B lead generation agency often provides the following benefits:
Increased revenue: Businesses with mature lead generation processes can generate up to 133% more revenue than companies that don’t. With a B2B lead generation company, your business can streamline its lead generation strategy faster and create a more significant impact on your bottom line.
Improved sales efficiency: Lead generation companies are experts in qualifying and nurturing leads, which can lead to a 50% increase in sales. Outsourcing lead generation processes also enable your sales teams to reallocate their resources towards building customer relationships and closing deals.
Shorter sales cycles: Because your sales team spends more time closing sales than chasing unqualified leads, a B2B lead generation company can also help move potential customers through the sales funnel faster. Your business is also less likely to lose prospects because of the quicker response time.
More quality leads: A good B2B lead generation agency has a network of channels from which they source reputable leads and employ advanced filtering techniques to weed out the bad ones. These companies have experience using advanced targeting techniques such as demographic segmentation and behavioral targeting to engage the right audience and capture their contact information.
Scalable growth: As businesses grow, they may require new types of leads to support their sales efforts. A B2B lead generation company has the resources and expertise to adapt to these changing needs and retool its strategies accordingly. This results in lead generation efforts aligning with their client’s evolving sales and marketing objectives.
Respect.Studio’s lead generation campaign for Paragon showcased how LinkedIn lead generation and messaging can bring new leads. The B2B lead generation agency helped Paragon expand its industry connections through LinkedIn and attract large companies from the consumer goods, logistics, and supply chain industry.
Respect.Studio engaged with prospects with hyper-personalized messaging highlighting the client’s experience with enterprise-level companies. The B2B lead generation agency polished Paragon’s LinkedIn profile, making it more credible and trustworthy. Paragon had a 290% increase in visits without paying for ads. The client’s LinkedIn Social Selling Index (SSI) rank rose to 62, which was 3x higher than the industry average.
How do I choose the best lead generation agency for my B2B business?
Follow these steps below to choose the lead generation agency that’s right for your B2B business:
Assess your needs. Define your lead generation goals and other requirements specific to your business or industry that you want to achieve in a set timeline. Doing so will make it easier for agencies to quickly identify the exact solutions to your needs.
Set your budget. Align your goals and requirements with the budget you will spend on lead generation and adjust accordingly. You should decide on what pricing model you are comfortable with.
Research agencies online. One of the best places to start looking is through agency directories like DesignRush. These directories list B2B lead generation agencies according to size, location, minimum budget, and other parameters for easy review.
Check agency websites. These often indicate the company’s core services, areas of expertise, industry experience, and contact details. The website may also indicate industry certifications and awards they’ve achieved for excellence in their field.
Request for a portfolio, case studies, and references. These can provide an in-depth look into the agency processes and their effectiveness in achieving the project’s goals. If possible, look for previous clients within the same industry or the same size as your company.
Check client reviews. Google My Business and agency directories like DesignRush feature detailed agency reviews from previous clients. These can provide a glimpse into the agency’s culture, communication skills, and approach to various client issues.
Create a shortlist. List down the agencies that closely align with your requirements and schedule an interview so you can learn more about what they can offer.
Discuss roles and responsibilities. During the interview, clarify the roles and responsibilities you expect the agency to take on. Ensure clear communication channels between your company and the agency during the project duration.
Evaluate cultural fit. Check if the agency’s work culture, communication style, and values align with yours.
Send a request for proposal. The request for proposal (RFP) should indicate the project scope, timeline, budget, other estimated expenses, and other essential information. Make sure that these align with your company’s objectives.
Choose your agency. Review and negotiate terms and choose the B2B lead generation company that meets your business requirements.

Setting metrics-based goals for lead-generation campaigns to measure progress and make necessary adjustments is important. You can use various metrics to calculate B2B lead generation success, but the most important ones are:
Lead conversion rate: The ratio of visitors that convert into leads by filling out a form, signing up for a newsletter, or performing a desired action. A high conversion rate usually means your website and offers are compelling enough to find value in them.
Lead-to-close rate: Also called the lead-to-sale rate, it refers to the percentage of leads that eventually convert into actual sales. It gives clients a high-level view of the overall quality of their leads.
Lead quality: Measures how likely the lead will convert into a buyer. Several criteria determine this, including demographics, behavior, and engagement level.
Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC): The money needed to acquire a paying customer. While much broader in scope than CPL, this metric is integral to determining the total cost of converting leads into buyers.
Customer acquisition value: Predicts the total amount of money a company will spend on your business over its lifetime. It is used to determine a customer’s true value beyond the initial transaction and helps businesses identify and target high-value customer segments.
Other lead conversion metrics that B2B lead generation companies also use include:
Average lead value: Determines how many leads are needed to meet specific revenue goals.
Time-to-conversion: The average time it takes for leads to turn into buyers.
Lead ROI: Measures the financial return from lead generation efforts compared to the amount invested.
