About Bandalier

Founded in 2017, Bandalier is a B2B sales outsourcing firm that builds and manages outsourced inside sales, SDR, BDR, customer success and customer support teams for fast-growing companies, with a focus on combining human talent in smaller US cities with modern sales technology. crunchbase.com

The company began as a “New American Workplace” experiment in Binghamton, New York, incubated in the Koffman Southern Tier Incubator and designed to connect tech companies that struggled to hire sales talent in major hubs with motivated, college-educated candidates in overlooked markets. bupipedream.com Over time Bandalier evolved from providing on-demand inside sales teams to offering fully managed SDR and BDR pods, along with outsourced customer success and customer support programs, all backed by a rigorous training academy called Bandalier University and a kaizen culture of continuous improvement. bandalier.co

Today Bandalier positions itself as an AI-powered outsourced SDR and BDR provider focused on building predictable pipeline. Its pods guarantee a minimum daily output of personalized emails and high-quality cold calls, and come with end-to-end management: recruiting, training, QA, coaching, reporting, list building, and sales operations. Clients gain access to an all-inclusive tech stack with CRM sync, sequencing and LLM-driven personalization, plus real-time visibility through dashboards and Slack or Microsoft Teams channels. bandalier.co

In 2023 Bandalier was acquired by Execo, a tech-enabled services group that is embedding GenAI across legal, marketing and sales services. bandalier.co As Execo’s specialist sales development arm, Bandalier now benefits from a global delivery footprint and shared AI infrastructure while continuing to focus on its core mission: connecting untapped talent with high-growth companies and delivering outbound programs that consistently generate meetings, opportunities and revenue.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Easy way to stand up a complete outbound SDR program quickly without hiring full-time reps, managers and tooling internally.
  • Flexible, highly customizable campaigns that can be tailored to specific industries, ICPs and evolving go-to-market strategies.
  • Well-trained, professional reps who feel like an extension of the internal team and can be hired in-house if there is a strong fit.
  • Strong collaboration and communication, including shared Slack channels, frequent touchpoints and transparent performance dashboards.
  • Provides strategic input on ICP definition, messaging and sales process optimization in addition to day-to-day dialing and emailing.

👎 Cons

  • Initial calibration of messaging, objection handling and handoff processes can feel unstructured and may require several iterations to optimize.
  • Results depend heavily on the quality of client-provided data and clarity of the ideal customer profile, so clients must stay engaged and provide feedback.
  • Pricing is higher than basic offshore call centers or staff-augmentation models, reflecting the inclusion of management, training and tech in a single retainer.

FAQ

What is Bandalier?

+

Bandalier is a B2B sales outsourcing company that builds and manages AI-enhanced outsourced SDR and BDR teams ("pods") for fast-growing companies. Its reps handle outbound prospecting, cold calling, email outreach, lead qualification and appointment setting, while Bandalier manages recruiting, training, coaching, reporting and the supporting tech stack.

How much does Bandalier cost?

+

Bandalier uses a flat monthly retainer model rather than per-seat software pricing. According to its own pricing guidance, AI-supercharged SDR pods start at around $8,000 per month, which includes SDR talent, technology, QA, coaching and a performance incentive. Exact pricing depends on scope, number of pods, markets covered and any additional services, so enterprise and multi-pod programs are quoted on a custom basis.

What are the main features of Bandalier?

+

Core features of Bandalier's offering include fully managed SDR and BDR pods, guaranteed daily volumes of calls and emails, AI-driven personalization, dedicated list building and data enrichment, Execo University training, multi-channel outreach (phone, email, social), CRM-synced dashboards, Slack or Teams collaboration, and the ability for clients to hire top-performing reps into in-house roles.

Who are Bandalier's main competitors?

+

Bandalier competes with other outsourced SDR and lead generation providers such as CIENCE, CloudTask, MarketStar, Acquirent and Martal Group, as well as with traditional call centers, staffing/BPO firms, and in-house SDR teams built by companies themselves.

Is Bandalier good for small businesses?

+

Bandalier can be a strong fit for small and mid-sized B2B companies that have high-value deals and need to build outbound pipeline quickly but lack the resources or expertise to hire, train and manage an SDR team in-house. Very small businesses with low contract values or highly transactional sales cycles may find the monthly investment harder to justify and might be better served by lighter-weight or self-serve prospecting tools.
