    Onshore vs offshore calling: what our data shows

    Callbox says the bulk of its operations are carried out in the Philippines. We can't measure Callbox's own results, but our data on offshore cold calling into Australian businesses in general is clear:

    • Australian buyers identified an offshore caller in a median of 11 seconds, and calls usually ended soon after
    • Of about 800 offshore calls we reviewed, 76% ended within 90 seconds and 84% never reached a qualification question
    • Offshore teams booked 0.3 meetings per 100 dials, against 1.3 for our onshore callers
    • Onshore callers booked 1.3 meetings per 100 dials, compared with 0.3 offshore
    • 39% of offshore-booked meetings were rated unqualified or wrong fit by client sales teams, against 13% onshore

    Offshore teams do perform well at inbound lead qualification and data research. The gap is specific to cold calls into senior Australian decision makers.

    Where Callbox is strong

    • You want webinars, retargeting and chat alongside outbound
    • You're comfortable with offshore delivery teams
    • Your budget suits a quarterly subscription

    Choose Nousu if

    • Your buyers are mainly in Australia or New Zealand
    • You want an Australian team making every call

    Callbox is a large, established provider with a 4.6 out of 5 rating from 46 reviews on Clutch, and it suits global, multi-region programs. For cold outreach to Australian decision makers specifically, consider where the callers are based: in our data, offshore callers booked about a quarter of the meetings per dial that onshore callers did.

    Callbox sells quarterly subscriptions of about US$20,000 to US$40,000, or roughly US$6,700 to US$13,300 a month, with custom quotes. Starting at $7,000 a month, on a 3-month initial term then rolling monthly.

    Callbox is headquartered in California and says the bulk of its operations are carried out in the Philippines, with offices in several other countries including Australia.

    Onshore teams call from the same country as the buyer. In our data, onshore callers into Australia booked 1.3 meetings per 100 dials against 0.3 for offshore teams, and their meetings were far less likely to be rated unqualified.

    For SaaS companies selling mainly to Australian buyers, a phone-first onshore team usually produces more qualified meetings per dollar. For SaaS companies running campaigns across many global regions at once, a global provider like Callbox may fit better.

    Yes. We run campaigns into Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands, and work with overseas companies entering the Australian market.
