EBQ review: services, focus, and alternatives

EBQ sells outsourced sales and marketing teams. Its service lines are appointment setting (cold calling, lead qualification and account management), sales (quota-driven outsourced sales teams), CRM (Salesforce and HubSpot setup, optimization and implementation), data (B2B databases, cleaning and enrichment) and marketing (automation, SEO copywriting, web development, design and pay-per-click). Clients buy capacity as half-time or full-time employees rather than as separate projects, and each account gets a revenue consultant and a project manager per service. Its site says all reps are based in Texas and claims about 70% savings against hiring internally.

EBQ says it works with companies of all sizes and industries, listing software, nonprofits, media, manufacturing, transportation and hospitality, higher education, business services and health and life sciences. Its mix of calling, CRM and marketing work suits companies that want one outside team covering several functions, especially those on Salesforce or HubSpot. The $5,000 monthly entry point and annual commitment point to established small and mid-sized businesses more than early startups.

Its services page describes a free consultation where EBQ discusses goals and drafts a plan. Each engagement gets one revenue consultant, a project manager per service and at least one specialist, with weekly management meetings. On the sales side, its homepage says BDRs follow a set call cadence and agreed qualification criteria before passing leads to the client's team, with regular reporting that one testimonial describes as daily and weekly metrics. Capacity can be scaled up or down. The site gives little detail on onboarding time or the tools used beyond Salesforce and HubSpot.

Its about page says EBQ started in 2006 and names Tim Edwards (President and CEO), Robert Ploeger (Chief People Officer) and Christina Scheidel (CFO). Headquarters is in Austin, Texas. It does not name founders.

These are EBQ's own claims from its website. We have not verified them independently.

Plans are $5,000 a month for a half-time employee or $10,000 a month for a full-time employee. Its pricing page says both prices reflect an annual commitment, paid monthly, and include a business consultant, weekly management meetings, a project manager per service and tool access. CRM implementation is priced separately. Cancellation terms are not stated.

Strengths, based on what its site publishes:

Trade-offs to weigh:

Outsourced SDR firms rent you trained reps, usually with cold calling at the center, and are measured on booked appointments. The real differences are whether reps are dedicated or shared, onshore or offshore, how long the minimum term is, and who owns the data and call recordings when the contract ends. Ask how a qualified appointment is defined before you compare prices.

EBQ publishes clear monthly prices and covers calling, CRM and marketing under one contract, which helps buyers who want a single vendor. The annual commitment is the main thing to weigh, so ask about exit terms and what happens if results lag. Ask how a half-time rep's hours are split and whether the same person handles your account each week. Teams that only want a narrow outbound test may prefer a firm with monthly terms.
