CanadaDirect - Revenue and Business Model
Perhaps more than any other B2B industry, the growth of lead generation companies is tied closely to the successes of their clients. As such, the Lead Generation 200 takes into account annual revenue growth rate (measured over the previous three years), number of employees, employee growth rate, business model, and top-of-funnel prospecting general services.

CanadaDirect - Pricing
CanadaDirect doesn’t have any pricing information on the company website, which means that prospective and interested clients would need to schedule a call or chat with a company representative to determine how much its respective services would cost them. Moreover, the pricing structure isn’t available on third-party websites.
CanadaDirect Reviews
CanadaDirect has a customer stories section on its website where it shows how its services have helped clients. However, client testimonials and reviews are nowhere to be found on the page, which can lead interested companies to be quite confused about the quality of its services. Although the homepage shows that the company has worked with numerous big companies like 3M, Microsoft, and Pfizer, there are no reviews to show for it. On third-party websites like Clutch and G2, there are no CanadaDirect reviews to be found either. Considering that the company has worked with various notable companies and has almost three decades of experience, this can be quite discouraging.

"As of right now, I’m extremely happy with them. The quality has been great. I was a little bit worried at first, but the research that they’ve done to get up to speed with what our quality lead or client would be has been good. We filled out a lot of paperwork for them to do the research and learn, and they’ve done a really good job. I have zero complaints."

“Compared to other vendors in the marketplace, they were by far the best.” Since the start of the engagement, there has been a 20% increase in sales and the number of complaints went down to zero. CanadaDirect went above and beyond to meet all needs, while their responsiveness and ability to quickly address problems earned them trust. ×Cience

Sales Research
The six categories of lead generation sales research demonstrate what is included in standard services and provided as a standard offering. When looking to outsource lead generation, organizations would be well served to vet, validate, and verify the quality and diversity of types of contact, company, and unique data options available as part of the standard service.
Sales Engagement Stack/Tools
This category shows the outbound data reporting, outbound orchestration tools, and CRM integrations that are included in each company’s standard service. The workflow platform denotes the presence of proprietary prospecting tools used to assure the quality of messaging and precise activity at scale.
Outbound Services
There are five primary channels that should be considered mandatory for any multi-channel prospecting campaign, here coined as, “Orchestrated Outbound.” Providing unique, surround-sound style prospecting experiences require orchestrating campaigns that reach persona-based audiences across email, phone, social, web + chat, and ad channels.
Inbound Services
While not a direct correlation of outbound services, this section provides insights how well each lead generation company converts website visitors into qualified leads. Of particular note are the number of case studies. When considering the truthfulness of case studies, it is helpful to compare them to the number and diversity of reviews on impartial review sites (in the previous section).
