Budget benchmarks: Gartner 2025 7.7% of revenue (large firms); Deloitte/Duke CMO Survey 9.0% for B2B services;

SBA rule 7–8%, 10–12% when growth-focused. A £2m firm → £10–18k/month; a £10m firm → £50–90k/month.

2. What it means

and a £10–15k strategy sprint. The full-service agencies that bundle it charge $10–25k/month and still

charge for the website on top; none of them bundle outbound calling.

under one roof measured on revenue. Platforms sell software, agencies sell channels, SDR shops sell

meetings, GTM engineers sell plumbing. That is the positioning gap, and the price should sit between the

DIY stack ($2–3.5k) and the sum of the agencies (£20k+), not at either end.

(Unify) shows hybrid human+AI pods at $224 per opportunity vs $487 human-only, and pure-AI worse on

Rationale: Platform sits under the DIY stack price (software plus a built site, no labour). Run-for-you is

priced at roughly a third of the separate-agency total, which AI production makes possible while leaving

margin for experienced oversight. Everything adds the outbound arm at the low end of the managed-outbound

band (£4–8k) on top, and the Sprint at the premium end of the sprint band because it carries the guarantee
