How To Choose The Right Agency In Portugal

  • Match channels to your target audience: If decision makers engage on LinkedIn, confirm LinkedIn outreach is covered. Cold calling still works in some portuguese sectors - check which channels they actually run.
  • Ask for vertical-specific case studies: Industry experience means faster ramp-up and better lead quality sooner. Ask for a specific campaign from a company with a similar sales process and deal size.
  • Check their personalized outreach approach: Templated mass outreach rarely generates positive replies. Ask how they research prospects and build personalized messaging for your target audience.
  • Clarify what "qualified lead" means: Some count a reply; others only count a confirmed meeting. Agree the definition upfront so you can measure lead quality against a real standard.
  • Verify reporting transparency: You need weekly data on outreach sent, positive replies, and qualified appointments booked. An agency that can't show this can't help you optimize campaigns and maximize results.
  • Consider owning the process long-term: At scale, owning your stack with Salesforge costs less. See the AI SDR vs agency comparison before deciding.
