The Problem

The numbers game is dead

01

You're sending lots of emails and LinkedIn DMs with little to no response.

02

When you do get a meeting, the prospect is rarely qualified and you have no real understanding of their business challenges.

03

Your cold email outbounds don't tell you how your market is responding because they don't create real conversations.

Without real conversations, you're guessing your way through go-to-market.

There's a better model

Talk to your market. Don't just email it.

The Solution

3 reasons our conversations convert

Signal-Based Targeting

We call people who have a reason to talk today.

New hire? Funding round? Compliance change? We use real-time signals to identify prospects with active pain. Every name we call has a reason to be on the list.

Best-In-Class Callers

Native English speakers trained on 600K+ calls.

Your brand's first impression is a phone call. Our callers sound like a member of your team, not a vendor reading a script.

Outcome Intelligence

Every conversation analyzed. Not just the wins.

Rejection patterns, competitor mentions, buying signals. We deliver a feedback loop, not just a meeting count.

Testimonials

What our clients say

When we started working with SmartBound, we had never made outbound calls. At the start, the campaigns struggled, but Kevin, Oliver and the team continually pivoted until we found a working strategy on the phone. We had more than 50 meetings scheduled by SmartBound and have landed over 5 new paying customers with many more still in the pipeline.

Founder, Informed Medical
I have contracted Kevin to help with outbound sales development at two different companies. His cold calling process and strategy really does work. He helped our SDR team at Feathr gain confidence, and out-perform their goals. I highly recommend working with Kevin.

Bradley Martin
VP Marketing, Feathr
Working with Kevin was a pleasure. Our SDR function was non-existent when we first brought him on as a consultant. After just the first month, we had an SDR Team of 4 that were setting outbound meetings. I highly recommend working with Kevin Hopp on all things SDR.

How It Works

Three steps. Meetings in two weeks.

Every engagement follows the same proven process. Week one builds the foundation. Then we execute and improve every cycle.

1
Campaign Strategy Week 1
Deep Onboarding
We learn your business the way your best rep would. Who buys, why they buy, what makes them say no, and what a good meeting looks like on your calendar.
Sales Playbook Build
We build a modern sales playbook from scratch. TAM mapping, ICP definition, buying signals, intent-based plays, messaging frameworks, and objection handling. Not a script. A system.
Strategy Alignment
Before we make a single call, we meet to review the playbook, agree on every detail, and build in your feedback. You own the strategy. We execute it.
2
List Building Week 1
Multi-Source, Verified
Built from multiple data sources, verified by humans, enriched by AI. No single vendor has the full picture, so we combine them to make sure your list does.
Signal + Intent Targeting
We mix traditional ICP-based list building with real-time signal targeting. New hires, funding, compliance shifts, tech adoption. We build both into every campaign and use results to improve targeting with every cycle.
Premier Number Verification
Premier phone verification on top-tier prospects as standard. We know who's most likely to pick up. Less time on dead numbers and voicemails, more connects, more conversations, more meetings.
3
Execution & Feedback Week 2 onwards
Full Transparency
Access to every call recording, campaign stats in near real-time, and a dedicated client portal. You're never in the dark about what's happening on the phones.
Strategic Intelligence
Weekly strategic reports that go beyond stats. What your market is saying, why prospects say no, which signals are converting, and what we recommend changing.
Continuous Improvement
Ongoing strategic review, iteration, and improvement built into every engagement. We learn from every conversation and feed it back into the next cycle.

FAQ

Common questions.

If you're a B2B company with $30K+ deals, 2-15 closers, and not enough pipeline, yes. Our best clients have strong sales teams that need more at-bats, not more tools. If your closers can sell but don't have enough conversations, we're built for you.
We structure engagements so you see results fast. Every call recorded, full transparency on outcomes. If it doesn't work, we'll be the first to tell you and explain why.
Most agencies count meetings and nothing else. We analyze your conversations and deliver structured intelligence: rejection patterns, competitive mentions, ICP validation. You learn from the 90% who don't book, not just the 10% who do. We also use signal-based targeting instead of random lists.
ICP deep-dive in week 1. Calling starts week 2. First meetings typically land by week 2-3. Intelligence reports begin as soon as conversations happen.
2.7% average success rate across the industry. Our callers target 8-12%. Cold calling is dead for bad callers dialing random lists. It's alive and well for targeted conversations with the right people at the right time.
Signal-based targeting means we layer real-time triggers (new hires, funding rounds, compliance changes, tech shifts) on top of your target list to prioritize who to call and when. It's not the only thing we do. We still build and call horizontal, vertical, and tier-based lists. Standard outbound lists are the foundation. Signals are an extra dimension that helps improve conversion rates, sharpen targeting, make conversations more timely, and give you better intelligence about what's working and who's worth calling next.
