    Retainer, pay-per-lead or a 12-week sprint?

    According to their website (October 2026), SalesPond offers several commercial models. Its SDR pay-per-lead packages are for SQLs by default, with MQLs, opt-ins and sales accepted leads sometimes available. On-demand telemarketing is charged as a fixed hourly fee per telemarketer, with a minimum of 40 hours. Its 12-week SMB program lets you choose one, two or three services, with an opt-out point at week 6. SalesPond says a standard part-time SDR (17.5 hours a week) typically yields 2 to 3 qualified leads a week, and notes that results may vary.

    Nousu runs one model: a monthly retainer for a phone-first team, Starting at $7,000 a month, on a 3-month initial term, then rolling monthly. A meeting floor is agreed before launch, and from month two you get a credit for every meeting below it. A typical campaign books about 8 qualified meetings a month once running, with a range of 6 to 20 depending on market, deal size and seniority, and about 50% of those meetings convert to opportunity.
