Curlew and the other ways to get introduced
Honest comparisons with hiring a business development manager, joining a networking group and using a lead generation agency, including when each is the better choice.
An alternative to hiring a business development manager
If your jobs are big, demand is steady and you can manage someone, a good BDM can do what no email service can: sell face to face, quote, negotiate and close. If what you mainly need is local businesses hearing from you and the interested ones passed to you, Curlew does that part for $99 a month, without a salary.
Alternatives to BNI and networking groups: an honest look
If your seat is free in a chapter near you, your customers overlap with the members’ and you can be there every week, a referral group builds trust that nothing else matches. If you can’t give up a fixed morning, or your category is taken, the alternative is to reach businesses directly, yourself or through Curlew by email for $99 a month.
Lead generation agency alternatives for small business
If you sell high-value work to larger organisations and want meetings booked in your calendar, an appointment-setting agency is built for that and priced for it. If you’re a local business that wants other local businesses to hear from you, Curlew writes to them and answers the replies for $99 a month, though it reaches out by email only and doesn’t promise meetings.
Rather we did it for you?
$99 a month, including GST. No contract, stop any time.
