Outsourced Business Development FAQs | Chameleon BDS
We know outsourcing sales and growth support can raise plenty of questions. That’s why we’ve put together this helpful FAQ page to explain how our services work, what to expect and how we support businesses across Manchester, North West England, London, Surrey, Scotland and throughout the UK.
What is outsourced business development?
Outsourced business development is when you partner with an external specialist (like Chameleon BDS) to identify opportunities, generate leads, set appointments and build relationships with decision-makers. It’s a cost-effective way to expand your sales pipeline without the overheads of hiring an in-house Business Development Manager.
How does outsourced business development benefit my business?
By outsourcing, you free up your internal team to focus on what they do best while we concentrate on building your pipeline. Clients typically see:
- More qualified leads
- A diary filled with genuine appointments
- Extra time to focus on client delivery
- Flexible support that can scale up or down
What industries do you work with?
We support a wide range of sectors, with a strong track record in professional services, including solicitors, accountants, financial advisers and consultants. We also work with SMEs, growing businesses and tech companies across Manchester, the North West, London, Surrey, Scotland and beyond.
What services do you provide?
Our core services include:
- Lead Generation Services – finding, qualifying and nurturing new prospects.
- Appointment Setting Services – securing meetings with decision-makers.
- Business Development – acting as an extension of your team, opening doors and building relationships.
- Sales Training – practical, results-driven training to help your team improve conversions.
Do you only work in Manchester?
No. While we are based in Manchester and support many clients across North West England, we also serve businesses in London, Surrey, Scotland and right across the UK. Thanks to our flexible model, we can also work remotely with international clients.
How is outsourced business development different from telesales?
Unlike generic telesales, we take a strategic, relationship-led approach. We research your prospects, represent your brand with professionalism and aim for meaningful conversations, not just quick wins. Every call is focused on securing opportunities that genuinely fit your business.
How quickly will I see results?
That depends on your industry, sales cycle and target audience. Some clients see appointments being booked within the first few weeks, while others notice results building steadily over a few months. We set realistic expectations and keep you updated every step of the way.
How much does it cost?
We offer flexible packages depending on your goals, timescales and level of support required. Outsourcing is generally far more cost-effective than recruiting, training and retaining a full-time Business Development Manager.
