We know time is money so are you hiring freelancers to scrape leads for you or do you do the scraping yourself?

Would like to know how others handling this part in their business.

Tried both, for B2B outbound we hired a freelancer to run this for us, but (even if time is money) a mercenary will never sell your product/service as well as someone in the business. On another company, we did cold outreach for B2C ourselves alongside ads/content & the results were exceptional. If you can find someone talented, better to hire them in where possible (at least that's been my personal experience).

Done both, scraped ourselves & then gave to a freelancer, as well as doing both in house. Always found it better to do everything ourselves. Also helps us learn properly. You *can* give it to a freelancer up front to learn how it is done & then bring it in house later. Have generally found this to be the best way to work with freelancers (rely on them for 1-3 months, learn what they do & then bring them in or hire someone in/have someone already in the company do the task).
 
If its something simple, you don't even need a lot of programming knowledge, just use chatgpt. Hiring freelancers should be reserved for more complicated/complex projects. You need to know precisely what you want and screen different freelancers through platforms like upwork/fiverr/etc.

You can hire freelancers but never teach them complete process. Because they will increase competition if you teach them whole process.
 
Scraping yourself means you kinda know where the leads come from, which I think is better in the long run.
 
Its alleays a questions of calculated Money per hour.
Would we spent an hour If our freetime for amount x.
If yes, we do it, also sure it is done the way we like it.
If not we let someone else do it.

scraping B2B contacts is done by a tool anyway.

Depends if you are good with scraping.
Master the process, than automate it as much as possible.
 
If We Do The Process Once , We Get The Experience And That Is How Actually We Can Become Better As Well , This Way We Will Not Be Dependant On the Tools , But Will Be Able To Do It Yourself As Well And That Could Help You Out Much Better When You Can't Use Tools , Don't Have The Budget Or Can Not Afford Them At All Actually For Sure being Honest In The Long Terms .

yes time is money but sometimes do it yourself first and learn.
 
do it myself, I can customize it the way I want, and change it whenever I want
 
Done both, however you are right about time being money. It is always better to pick the best freelancer after careful evaluation than to spend time on something you are not confident in if time frame is short
