How much do you want to spend on a lead generation tool? Is it important for you to track and pace how campaigns are working? Lead Generators is a comprehensive lead service, but it fails in providing clear answers to the questions above. Smith.ai believes in transparency. Our per-contact pricing is advertised clearly on our website, which means your monthly costs will be based on how many contacts you’d like us to reach out to on your behalf — and you’re always in control.
On top of that, Lead Generators International isn’t available 24/7/365, Smith.ai is. It doesn't matter what time zone your customers (or our agents) are in, your leads will be reached in a timely manner. Not only are our agents available around-the-clock, but they’re all North America-based and work from quiet home offices, as well, so they sound like they’re in-house. Plus, since we're fully remote, our hiring practices focus on skill, not location. You can rest assured your leads are in good hands with Smith.ai.Â
Lead Generators International’s main advantage is list building — the same service every sales development offers. But how reliable is it? Most businesses source lists less expensively, or perhaps source from warm inbound leads, events, and your own database. Smith.ai offers campaign strategy and analysis more simply, actionable, and with less fuss. What's better: Long strategic planning or short strategy session with quick game plan, take action, learn, and refine? We feel the latter delivers results for SMBs and midmarket far more efficiently and effectively in the short and mid term. In the long run, as they say, we're all dead!
Lead Generators International’s dashboard helps you measure your campaign stats, but Smith.ai’s dashboard goes above and beyond to give you full-visibility into your campaign’s success. We capture key data on the caller, including the time of the call, call attempt number, from phone number, lead status — even action taken. That way, you know exactly what happened during and after every call. And with access to detailed call summaries as well as audio recordings and searchable transcripts of every call, the proof is in the pudding. Â
As far as technology is concerned, Lead Generators International works in a silo. Smith.ai understands how vital systems and processes are. We play well with over 5,000 CRMs, marketing platforms, calendars, billing systems, and intake forms. Furthermore, our AI platform connects to you via SMS, Slack, and Zapier. We even have an open API (for our more tech-savvy users).Â
Lead Generators International doesn’t have many useful features, like payment collection or call routing, which would eliminate the busywork from your sales teams' plate. Smith.ai’s services don’t start and end with outbound campaigns. Our agents have the skill and capacity to become a true extension of your office. Beyond outbound cold calling, we can handle all of your inbound calls through our Virtual Receptionist plans. For only $285/mo, you can get full 360 degree coverage of all your leads.
For growth-minded business owners who care about price transparency, seamless integrations, and robust customizations that deliver the experience of in-house sales development reps, Smith.ai is the superior choice for your 24/7 Sales Outreach partner, over Lead Generators International.
