Question 1

How does CogniClose differ from hiring an in-house SDR or typical b2b lead generation companies?

Accepted Answer

An in-house SDR requires $80,000–$120,000+ per year once you factor in salary, sales software subscriptions, and 3–6 months of ramp time before delivering ROI. Traditional b2b lead generation companies often blast generic email templates from unmanaged domains with zero transparency. CogniClose operates as your dedicated outbound pod—integrating AI speed with a dedicated sales development representative, secondary infrastructure setup, and real-time appointment setter triage—fully launched in 7 days at a predictable monthly fee.

Question 2

What is your pricing model, payment terms, and minimum commitment?

Accepted Answer

We charge a flat managed service fee with zero upfront setup costs. Engagements require an initial 2-month commitment to allow for infrastructure warming, message optimization, and compounding pipeline velocity. Payments are structured with 50% paid upfront at month start and the remaining 50% due at month end.

Question 3

Will our primary domain reputation or executive LinkedIn accounts be at risk?

Accepted Answer

Never. We deploy dedicated secondary sending domains equipped with SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and custom tracking records to keep your primary domain untouched. For LinkedIn, we operate outreach through isolated, hardware-fingerprinted environments to safeguard client profiles, and we provide technical recovery support in the rare event of platform restrictions.

Question 4

How do you guarantee meeting quality so our calendar isn’t filled with tire-kickers?

Accepted Answer

A lead only becomes a booked meeting if they strictly match your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)—exact decision-maker title, verified company size, geography, and industry—and have explicitly confirmed high-intent interest in solving a key operational challenge. Our appointment setter qualifies buying intent through conversation triage before placing it on your sales pipeline software. You receive deep briefing notes prior to every call.

Question 5

Do you offer performance guarantees or campaign refunds?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Specific meeting targets and performance metrics are evaluated during your strategy evaluation and written directly into your custom client agreement. Refund terms are strictly governed by these explicit agreement clauses, ensuring full commercial alignment from day one.

Question 6

How fast can we launch, and when do booked meetings start hitting our calendar?

Accepted Answer

Campaigns go live within 7 days following our strategy kickoff meeting. Account warming and b2b prospecting tool testing begin immediately, with live prospect conversations and qualified discovery calls steadily populating your calendar starting as early as week 2.

Question 7

Is our proprietary client data safe, and do you train AI models on our prospects?

Accepted Answer

Your data is completely isolated. We never use client prospect data, email threads, or internal sales materials to train external AI models. All outreach data remains strictly confidential, and upon offboarding, all client data is permanently wiped or transferred back to your team.

Question 8

How much weekly time and effort is required from our internal team?

Accepted Answer

Under 60 minutes a week. We require one initial kickoff call to map out your target market, offer details, and calendar preferences. From there, CogniClose runs end-to-end strategy, copywriting, infrastructure, and lead triage—your team only steps in to conduct the sales calls.
