CIENCE vs Meetcatcher
What CIENCE runs for you
CIENCE builds and runs outbound for its clients. After a short setup sprint, a dedicated go-to-market team researches the market and runs campaigns across email, phone, ads and social, and SDRs qualify prospects before meetings reach your calendar. It all runs on graph8, its own platform for data, outreach and visitor identification. In effect, you hire a sales development function. On Meetcatcher, you stay in charge of who you meet, and there is no team to hire.
Who it suits
CIENCE suits companies with a proven offer, a closing team and deals large enough to justify a managed programme. A logistics software vendor targeting regional distributors, for example, can add SDR capacity in the US or Europe month to month while its account executives take the calls, which is easier than hiring once you know how many calls one rep can make a day. Part of the fee is tied to held meetings, so incentives point the same way.
What outsourcing involves
You invest in setup and a monthly fee before the first meetings arrive, and someone on your side still briefs the team, reviews messaging and follows up after each call. Prospects are reached through outbound, so the person on the call agreed to a meeting but did not ask for one. It helps to work out the true cost of each new customer and compare it with a typical B2B acquisition cost.
Choosing who you meet yourself
Meetcatcher needs no setup project and no managed team. You see suggested companies along with the reasons a partnership could work for both of you, and you decide who is worth inviting, so every call is with someone you picked. Many are founders or owners who can say yes on the spot, and you can even begin for free by earning credits on calls you accept. It is the direct, fast option for winning new B2B clients and partners on your own terms.
Outsourced or hands-on
If you want sales development off your plate and have deal sizes to match, CIENCE, or a similar agency such as Belkins, can run it for you. If you are a small digital business that wants to hear from clients first hand, Meetcatcher lets you hold those conversations yourself. Our guide to running a great meeting shows how to make ten minutes count.
