Demand - 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.

Demand - Pricing
The Demand Inc. website has a pricing page, which doesn’t have any pricing plans but shows an average starting contract size of $7,000 to $10,000 per month, with services that include research, copywriting, outreach, and scheduling. The company also recommends a 90-day pilot program to assess the effectiveness of its services, and the price range may vary due to the size of engagement clients require.
Demand Reviews
Demand Inc. claims to be trusted by the world’s best companies and recommended by more than 30 leading VCs. Moreover, it has a section of recent client wins on its home page where the likes of Intel, SAP, Amazon, Slack, IBM, Nike, Microsoft, Atlassian, and even Facebook are mentioned. However, when it comes to Demand Inc. reviews, there is only one two-line review from an AWS accelerator on the website. Considering that the company has worked with so many distinguished clients, it should have at least 5-10 client reviews to show for it, but this isn’t the case. Apart from this, Demand Inc. reviews can’t be found on any third-party websites on the Internet, such as G2, Clutch, or Belkin.

Best Review
"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."

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.

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.
