Sales Consultant Closed $50K from a Single Verified Lead Pack

The Challenge

An independent sales consultant specializing in helping B2B startups build their first outbound motion needed to generate his own pipeline. As a solo operator, he could not afford to waste time on bad data or manage complex outbound infrastructure. He had previously tried buying lists from Apollo and ZoomInfo but found that the data quality was inconsistent and required significant cleanup. He needed 50-100 highly targeted leads per quarter to sustain his consulting pipeline.

The Solution

The consultant purchased a one-time pack of 100 verified leads from VerifiedByTed, targeting founders and Heads of Sales at Series A SaaS companies with 20-75 employees that had recently posted their first SDR or AE role (indicating they were building a sales function for the first time). Every lead included verified email, confirmed title, company stage, and a trigger event indicator.
