Free B2B lead generation RFP template

Give every lead generation agency the same clear brief.

Define the buyers, work and meeting requirements before you ask for quotes. Build a brief you can copy, print and send to the agencies you want to consider.

Free. No account or email required. Editable plain-text downloads.

A lead generation RFP is a request for proposal: a brief that lets agencies respond to the same campaign requirements. Use this resource for B2B appointment setting, cold calling or outsourced SDR work, with a formal procurement process or a straightforward buying conversation.

Six short fields

Start with the campaign you want to buy.

The first five fields are required. Timing and budget can stay open. Keep confidential client names and sensitive records out of the brief.

The builder runs in your browser. Inputs and output are masked from session replay. Copy or print to keep your brief; it is not sent with a booking.

A fictional ERP provider

A request agencies can actually respond to.

This example shows the level of detail needed for an initial response. It represents no real client or agency proposal.

The campaign request

ERP software for wholesale distributors in the US and Canada. Reach CFOs and finance leaders. Include research, human calling and follow-up.

A useful meeting: a suitable distributor, a relevant finance owner, a confirmed reporting question and agreement to an introductory conversation.

The information still needed

Ask each agency for account exclusions, data preparation, caller responsibilities, meeting notes, fees, launch dependencies and the client's role.

An itemised response makes those choices visible before anyone commits to the campaign.

Put these questions beside the brief

Ask for a response with useful detail.

Account selection

Which companies belong in the campaign, what is excluded and how will contact records be prepared?

Execution ownership

Who researches, calls, handles agreed follow-up, qualifies and schedules? What must your team provide?

Meeting definition

What confirms the buyer's agreement? How are no-shows, unsuitable meetings and rejection reasons handled?

Reporting and handoff

Which notes and records reach sales, how often are results reviewed and what access is agreed?

Commercial terms

What is the fixed fee, billing period, preparation cost, variable charge and minimum commitment?

Relevant evidence

Which past campaign resembles your audience and sales motion? What period and definitions support its reported result?

When the responses arrive

Compare the proposals against the same request.

Use one currency and comparison period, then examine costs, meeting definitions and work included. Keep unanswered terms visible so the next conversation can resolve them.

Questions before you start

Agency brief and RFP questions.

What is a lead generation RFP?

An RFP is a request for proposal: a brief you send agencies so they can respond to the same requirements. For lead generation, it should define the offer, target buyers, work, meeting standard and information you need in a proposal.

Do I need a formal procurement process to use this?

No. Use the short brief for an initial agency conversation, or adapt the editable template to your organisation’s purchasing process. It is a campaign buying document, not a contract.

Can I use it for appointment setting or outsourced SDR services?

Yes. Specify the work you need covered and the result your sales team will accept. Ask the agency to explain responsibilities, qualification, reporting, fees and launch dependencies.

How is this different from the Proposal Comparison tool?

This builder prepares your requirements before you request quotes. Proposal Comparison helps assess costs and terms after you have two or three proposals.

What should I write if my budget or timing is undecided?

Leave the optional timing and budget field blank. The brief will ask providers to state their preparation schedule, fees and minimum commitment, with the final scope to be agreed.

Can I download a template without using the builder?

Yes. Download the editable plain-text template and the clearly fictional completed example. You can paste them into your usual document editor and adapt the fields.

Will CallTeam see the information I enter?

The builder runs in your browser without an account or upload. Entries and output are masked from session replay. Use copy or print to keep the result. A booking does not send the brief automatically.
