I get an email or a LinkedIn post from a company that promises to fill my pipeline with leads probably three times a week. I’m wondering if anyone has used one of these services and can provide a recommendation? I have a pretty narrow niche and have figured out what my ideal client looks like, so I assume that these services will fill my inbox, but with leads that are not quite right. Anyone have a good experience?

I’m in a small forum of other agency owners and a few of asked about this since we all get bombarded with sales folks wanting to do lead gen/c level exec connections etc. Very negative feedback from anyone who tried this. Ultimately, nobody can sell the biz like the owners don’t waste time or money is what I’ve concluded. If things change with your results, let me know. Would love your feedback.

Hello Folks,
Can you pls advise on which company to go for.
R-Systems : They are providing WFH + clarity on the project and team for which I’ll be working upon.
CTS : No clarity as of now, only thing I am aware is that I’m a part of full stack community.
HCL : Some clarity on the project but less package than other two.
R-Systems and CTS are giving same CTC.
