What does B2B lead generation cost?

The cost components behind outbound and how to determine a realistic cost per lead.

The cost components

Outbound costs data, infrastructure, copy, sending capacity, monitoring and time for optimisation. Anyone who only looks at data costs structurally underestimates the total.

Internally, the biggest costs are usually invisible: hours spent by salespeople prospecting instead of selling.

From cost price to cost per lead

Work backwards from your gross margin. If you know what a customer is worth and how many qualified leads you need for one customer, the maximum cost per lead follows automatically.

Fixed versus variable

A model with a fixed infrastructure fee plus a price per qualified lead places the risk with the party that has influence over it. At Vikingleads: €299 per month plus a pre-agreed amount per MQL.
