About MemoryBlue

memoryBlue is a sales development consulting and outsourced SDR provider focused on B2B technology, cybersecurity, SaaS, fintech, AI, data and public-sector markets. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, the company builds and runs outbound sales engines for clients that need more qualified pipeline but prefer not to hire, train and manage large in‑house SDR teams. Over more than two decades, memoryBlue reports having served 2,000+ high‑tech clients and now operates nine offices across North America, Europe and Singapore with outreach in 30+ languages.

The firm’s core offering centers on SDR and BDR teams that act as an extension of a client’s sales organization. Engagements can be partial‑cycle (top‑of‑funnel prospecting and qualification) or full‑cycle (through opportunity management and account expansion), with multi‑channel outreach via phone, email, social and events. This is wrapped in memoryBlue’s SMART model—Sales, Marketing, Academy, Recruiting and Technology—which combines outbound execution, demand generation, sales training, recruiting services and a technology stack that plugs into the client’s CRM and sales engagement tools.

Beyond day‑to‑day outbound execution, memoryBlue differentiates through its talent and training engine. The company hires early‑career sales talent, puts them through the memoryBlue Academy training program, and then deploys them on client campaigns. Many of these SDRs are later hired directly by clients through a structured “audition‑to‑hire” model, giving companies a lower‑risk path to building their own inside sales team. A large global alumni network—now in the thousands—also feeds memoryBlue’s direct‑hire recruiting practice for SDRs, AEs, sales leaders and revenue operations roles.

The firm is private‑equity backed by Avesi Partners and in 2023 acquired Operatix, a UK‑headquartered outsourced SDR provider, to create one of the largest global sales acceleration companies in the market. Today, memoryBlue positions itself as a modern go‑to‑market outsourcing partner rather than a pure appointment‑setting shop, emphasizing data‑driven operations, AI‑assisted research and enrichment, proprietary tools like its Compass performance intelligence system built in Salesforce, and a live lead‑scoring program that captures post‑meeting feedback from client AEs at scale.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Highly professional, well-trained SDR teams that feel like an extension of the internal sales organization.
  • Strong communication and collaboration, including weekly check-ins, transparent reporting and responsiveness to feedback.
  • Ability to quickly ramp outbound activity and generate predictable volumes of qualified meetings and opportunities.
  • Campaigns are tailored to the client's ICP, messaging and market, with ongoing optimization based on results and AE feedback.
  • Access to a deep bench of sales talent plus an audition-to-hire model that reduces hiring risk for in-house teams.
  • Global coverage and multi-language support, allowing clients to expand into new regions without building local SDR teams.

👎 Cons

  • Services are considered expensive by some customers relative to other outsourced SDR providers.
  • Lead quality and ICP fit can be inconsistent at the start of an engagement until targeting and messaging are fully calibrated.
  • Some reviewers note limited deep industry knowledge among SDRs in very specialized or technical markets.
  • A few clients feel that long-term use may be less cost-efficient than eventually building an in-house SDR team.
  • Onboarding and aligning technology stacks can require more upfront planning to integrate smoothly with existing systems.

FAQ

What is memoryBlue?

+

memoryBlue is a global sales development and lead generation firm that provides outsourced SDR and BDR teams, along with marketing, recruiting, training and technology services, for B2B technology and public-sector organizations. Founded in 2002 and backed by private equity, the company operates nine offices across North America, Europe and Singapore and has served more than 2,000 high-tech clients.

How much does memoryBlue cost?

+

memoryBlue does not publish standard pricing on its website. Engagements are scoped and priced custom based on factors such as number of SDRs, territories covered, languages, industry complexity and whether full-cycle or partial-cycle support is required. Prospective customers are directed to contact sales and often use memoryBlue's ROI and savings calculator to compare the cost of in-house SDRs versus an outsourced team.

What are the main features of memoryBlue?

+

Core features include outsourced SDR and BDR teams, global multi-language coverage, full- or partial-cycle sales support, marketing and demand generation services, the memoryBlue Academy training program, direct-hire and audition-to-hire recruiting, a proprietary Compass performance intelligence system built on Salesforce, and a live lead-scoring program that captures AE feedback on every meeting. These are delivered through the SMART framework: Sales, Marketing, Academy, Recruiting and Technology.

Who are memoryBlue's main competitors?

+

MemoryBlue's primary competitors are other outsourced SDR and B2B lead-generation providers such as CIENCE, Belkins, Martal Group and SalesRoads, as well as smaller regional appointment-setting agencies. Buyers may also compare memoryBlue against building an in-house SDR team or using a blend of internal SDRs plus specialized agencies for specific markets or campaigns.

Is memoryBlue good for small businesses?

+

memoryBlue can be a strong fit for small and mid-size B2B tech companies that have product-market fit, meaningful deal sizes and a need to scale pipeline quickly without hiring a full internal SDR team. However, its premium pricing and structured programs may be harder to justify for very early-stage startups, low-ticket offerings or businesses that cannot commit the time required to collaborate on ICP definition, messaging and ongoing optimization.
