How does the meetings guarantee work?

Before we start, we agree on a qualified-meeting target together. If we don't hit it, we keep working until we do - at no additional cost to you. The $3,000/month partnership continues while we deliver.

What happens if you don't get any results?

No cost, no contract means we have to prove it first. If you don't see replies worth following up, you don't move forward. No gotchas.

B2B services with high lifetime value, where one good customer can be worth $36K+ and you want a partner to build the outbound machine, not just book meetings.

What channels do you use?

Cold email is the core. We layer in LinkedIn and cold calling where the right prospects respond. Infrastructure, follow-up, and meeting booking are included.

Is this just an AI SDR tool?

No. AI tools help us write, source, and personalize, but our team owns strategy, targeting, and messaging. A human reviews what goes out, and a human is on the call with you each week.

How much does it cost?

Partnerships start at $3,000/month. No long-term contracts. Pick a term that works for you.

Is SalesGlider better than CIENCE?

No setup fee: CIENCE requires $5,000 before a single email goes out. SalesGlider's base is your tech stack at cost - same tools, no markup, we set them up and run them. Transparent pricing: CIENCE's all-in cost often reaches $5,000–$15,000/month once platform fees, retainer, per-meeting fees, and SDR costs stack up. SalesGlider: base + per meeting. That's it. Strategy collaboration: We work with you to define ICP, refine offer angle, and determine the best approach for your market. CIENCE executes your brief. Coordinated channels: All three channels run as one system. CIENCE runs channels in parallel, not in coordination. No-commitment intro: 60-day sprint, 5 meetings, no long-term obligation. CIENCE locks you in with a setup fee before you've seen a result.

SalesGlider vs. CIENCE

CIENCE is an SDR factory. SalesGlider is a strategic growth partner.

CIENCE is one of the largest lead gen operations in the world - thousands of SDRs, a 100M-contact database, an AI platform. Scale is their game. But scale without strategy is just noise. If your ICP is right, your offer is sharp, and your message is relevant - you don't need a factory. You need a partner who treats your revenue like their own.

Growth Partner vs. SDR Factory

CIENCE builds SDR infrastructure at scale. They have the data, the platform, and the people. What they don't offer is a collaborative strategic process - they execute what you brief them on. SalesGlider works with you to define the ICP, sharpen the offer, build coordinated sequences across cold email, cold calling, and LinkedIn, and adapt based on real market signals weekly. Then we charge per meeting booked. No setup fee. No platform tax. No surprise math.

Where SalesGlider Wins

No setup fee
CIENCE requires $5,000 before a single email goes out. SalesGlider's base is your tech stack at cost - same tools, no markup, we set them up and run them.
Transparent pricing
CIENCE's all-in cost often reaches $5,000–$15,000/month once platform fees, retainer, per-meeting fees, and SDR costs stack up. SalesGlider: base + per meeting. That's it.
Strategy collaboration
We work with you to define ICP, refine offer angle, and determine the best approach for your market. CIENCE executes your brief.
Coordinated channels
All three channels run as one system. CIENCE runs channels in parallel, not in coordination.
No-commitment intro
60-day sprint, 5 meetings, no long-term obligation. CIENCE locks you in with a setup fee before you've seen a result.

Where CIENCE Has an Edge

Proprietary 100M+ contact database
CIENCE built their own data platform - useful for obscure niches or very high-volume TAM coverage.
AI orchestration platform (graph8)
A real product with real capabilities for companies that want a tech-heavy, platform-driven SDR operation.
SDR Talent Cloud
CIENCE lets clients hire SDRs at cost to build an internal team - useful if your long-term goal is insourcing.
Sheer scale
For enterprise companies that need thousands of outreach touches per week across multiple segments, CIENCE's infrastructure is hard to match.

Bottom Line

CIENCE is a serious operation built for scale. If you have a $5,000 budget just to get started, want a platform-heavy SDR infrastructure, and don't need strategic collaboration - they're worth considering. If you want a growth partner who co-builds the strategy, runs a coordinated signal-based system across all three channels, and charges only when meetings actually happen - start with SalesGlider's 60-day sprint.
