The short answer

A-Sales or memoryBlue?

A-Sales and memoryBlue both put the phone first, and they bill for different things. memoryBlue staffs dedicated SDRs on a monthly retainer, or on a lower base with the upside tied to meetings delivered, and says most programmes book 8 to 12 meetings per SDR a month once ramped. A-Sales charges from $500 per held meeting once your target profile is proven, or from $4,000 a month, and does not bill meetings that miss the standard agreed with you.

About memoryBlue

memoryBlue is a US sales development firm that has run outsourced SDR programmes since 2003, for more than 2,700 B2B companies, with 650+ dedicated SDRs across seven offices and 30+ native languages. Each SDR works for one client only, on phone, email and LinkedIn with calls weighted heaviest, and the job ends at a booked, qualified meeting; qualification after that and closing are separate ADR and AE services. Onboarding takes about two weeks and is not billed, and you can hire your SDR onto your own payroll at any point. It is the better fit if you want a dedicated rep you may later employ, native-language coverage in EMEA or APAC, SDR, ADR, AE and recruiting from one firm, or outcomes beyond meetings such as event invites and account-based nurturing.

Side by side

memoryBlue vs A-Sales

The rows a buyer actually asks about: who runs the campaign, what data is included, what the tooling is, and what reviewers say.

Size and age tell you what kind of engagement to expect: a large, established provider brings process and headcount, a small senior team brings the people who actually make the calls. Neither is automatically better, but you should know which one you are buying.

Pricing & reviews

The two questions buyers actually search

What memoryBlue costs and what its clients say, answered in words with the figures kept in the tables above.

memoryBlue pricing vs A-Sales

memoryBlue does not publish a rate. It offers a standard retainer, an all-inclusive monthly fee it says is typically about 7% cheaper over a full year, or a performance-based model with a lower base and upside tied to meetings delivered, which it calls a poor fit for account-based work. To compare a quote with a per-meeting price, divide the monthly fee by the 8 to 12 meetings memoryBlue says a ramped SDR books, then by the share of those meetings that are actually held. Its client portal reports hold rates, so ask for them. A-Sales bills from $500 per held meeting, or from $4,000 a month for a managed engagement.
