First: Why Work with a Lead Gen Partner?
Lead generation partners help you connect with potential clients through services like:

Instead of chasing cold leads, you get warm introductions—freeing up your time to do what you do best: serve your clients and grow your business.
What to Look for in a Lead Gen Partner
Here are the key things to consider when evaluating a lead generation company:
1. Industry Focus
Do they understand your business?
Look for partners who specialize in working with small B2B companies or IT services. For example, companies like Revnew, Callbox, and Belkinsspecialize in helping tech and service businesses like yours connect with high-quality leads.
2. Data Quality
Not all leads are created equal.
Ask:
- How do they verify their lead data?
- Do they use real-time insights like buyer intent or website activity?
