Software Development Lead Generation by Expert, US-Based SDRs
Cold Call Me helps custom software development shops, app developers, and IT consultancies stop relying on word-of-mouth and start building a predictable pipeline. Our expert, US-based SDRs handle software lead generation, appointment setting, and technical outreach while using AI-powered data to identify companies with legacy system issues or new product initiatives. We function as your dedicated inside sales team, navigating complex organizations to reach CTOs, Product Owners, and Innovation Directors to deliver qualified development opportunities.
What Is Human-Led, AI-Enhanced Dev Shop Outreach?
Human-led, AI-enhanced outreach combines a technically literate SDR team with smart data to identify high-value projects before they go to RFP.
- Targeting the Right Tech Stack: SDRs work from data-enriched lists that reveal a prospect’s current technologies, allowing us to pitch your specific expertise (e.g., React, Python, .NET, or AWS migration).
- Smarter Sequencing: AI-powered insights guide our follow-up cadence, ensuring we stay front-of-center during long budget cycles without being annoying.
- Context-Rich Conversations: Representatives see company size, industry, and recent funding, allowing them to speak directly to scalability and modernization needs.
- Consultative Approach: We don't just sell “coding”; we sell solutions to business problems, positioning your shop as a strategic partner rather than a commodity vendor.
Common Software Sales Challenges We Solve
Custom development shops face long sales cycles, difficulty differentiating from offshore competitors, and trouble reaching technical decision-makers. Our human SDR team, supported by AI-powered sales intelligence, helps solve these persistent growth blockers:
- The “Commodity” Trap: It’s hard to stand out. We use account-based marketing tactics to highlight your specific vertical expertise and success stories.
- Difficulty Reaching CTOs: Technical leaders hate sales calls. Our SDRs use "peer-to-peer" style communication that respects their time and intelligence.
- Long Sales Cycles: We nurture prospects over months, keeping your shop top-of-mind until the budget is approved and the project kicks off.
- Inconsistent Deal Flow: We smooth out the "feast or famine" nature of project-based work by ensuring a steady stream of new conversations enters the funnel.
- Engineers Who Don't Like Selling: Your best people should be coding, not cold calling. We handle the prospecting so your technical leads only step in for qualified meetings.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Software Development Sales
What is human-led, AI-enhanced software cold calling?
It is intelligent, peer-to-peer outreach designed for the technical buyer. CTOs and Product Managers have very high “BS detectors” and hate generic sales fluff. Our US-based SDRs are trained to have competent, value-driven conversations about business problems and technical solutions. We use AI data to research a prospect’s current tech stack before we call, allowing us to ask relevant questions and position your dev shop as a strategic problem solver, not just a commodity coding vendor.
How does outsourced appointment setting help my dev shop?
It maximizes the value of your most expensive resources: your technical leaders. Your founders and senior architects should be focusing on high-level strategy, scoping, and closing deal, not grinding through cold calls. We handle the time-consuming top-of-funnel work, list building, cold outreach, and initial qualification, so that your experts only step in when there is a qualified meeting with a prospect who is ready to discuss a real project.
Can you target companies using specific technologies?
Yes, this is one of our biggest strengths. Using technographic data, we can “X-ray” a company’s tech stack. If you specialize in “Azure Migration,” we can target companies running legacy on-prem servers. If you are a React Native shop, we can find companies using older mobile frameworks. This allows us to pitch a specific solution to a specific technical debt problem, which has a much higher success rate than a generic “do you need software?” pitch.
Do you work with Staff Augmentation as well as Custom Dev?
Yes. We understand the nuance between selling a deliverable (Project) and selling a resource (Staff Aug). For project sales, we focus on trust, methodology, and case studies. For staff augmentation, we focus on speed, talent availability, and skill matching. We adjust the script and the targeting strategy based on which model you need to fill, ensuring we aren’t pitching “teams” to a client who just needs one expert developer.
How do AI-powered data and sales intelligence improve results?
We use intent data to identify companies that are actively researching topics like "app modernization," "cloud migration," or "custom ERP." We can also see when companies are posting job openings for specific developer roles, which is often a signal that they are struggling to hire internally and might be open to an external partner. Reaching out with a "we can help you right now" message during these windows of opportunity dramatically improves conversion rates.
