What this business actually is
B2B companies live and die by pipeline. You assemble modern outbound machines: scraped and verified prospect lists, personalized AI-written sequences, inbox management and reply handling — delivering booked meetings rather than raw leads.
Pricing spans $500 setup plus $300–$1,500/month, or performance deals ($50–$300 per qualified meeting). Performance pricing wins deals faster but carries risk until your system proves itself.
Compliance is the sharp edge here: unsolicited email rules vary sharply by country (CAN-SPAM, GDPR, PECR). Professional operators maintain strict list hygiene and honor opt-outs immediately.

The honest balance sheet
Advantages

- · High willingness to pay among B2B firms
- · Systems thinking scales across clients with templates
Disadvantages
- · Domain deliverability problems can sink campaigns overnight
- · Performance-pricing risk before systems mature

Legal considerations
