SalesDesk is a rapidly growing commercial lead generation agency serving service-based businesses and franchise systems across the United States. Like many agencies that grow quickly, they faced a familiar but critical challenge: hiring fast enough—without sacrificing quality.
When a client signs, SalesDesk must ramp up immediately. But local hiring in the U.S. was slow, expensive, and created operational drag during peak growth periods. The company often found itself balancing two competing demands: accelerating growth while managing the limitations of a tight hiring market.
This is the story of how partnering with OfficeTwo helped SalesDesk eliminate its biggest operational bottleneck, build a higher-performing team, and scale with confidence.
Background & Challenges Before OfficeTwo
The Bottleneck That Slowed Growth: Speed
SalesDesk biggest challenge was not demand—it was staffing fast enough to meet that demand.
When new clients came onboard, the team needed to activate campaigns quickly. But hiring locally required time, resources, and significant investment.
As SalesDesk President Morgan Smith explains:
“When a client signs, we need to ramp up fast. But hiring locally takes time and it’s also expensive, and then it can create operational drag.”
The true risk wasn’t workload; it was the possibility of missed opportunities because the agency couldn’t bring qualified people onboard fast enough.
“We were constantly trying to balance growth with the reality of limited hiring bandwidth.”
SalesDesk needed a solution that offered both speed and quality, without compromising reliability or client experience.
Why SalesDesk Chose OfficeTwo
A Physical Office Model That Changes Everything
Like many agency owners, Smith had concerns about accountability when working with international teams. Traditional outsourcing models often lack oversight, structure, and consistency.
But OfficeTwo’s model was different.

Instead of distributed freelancers, the team works from a physical office with leadership, operational supervision, and real visibility into daily performance. This provided the same sense of control SalesDesk expected from a U.S.-based team—at a fraction of the cost.
“It’s not a freelancer behind a laptop; it’s an actual second office you can rely on.”
This structure solved Smith’s concerns about quality and accountability, while also offering access to strong English-speaking talent prepared for client-facing work.
Talent Quality That Meets — and Sometimes Exceeds — Local Standards
Client-Ready Professionals From Day One
One of the most surprising outcomes for SalesDesk was the quality of OfficeTwo’s talent pool.
Smith highlights four key strengths:
- Sharp and proactive problem-solvers
- Excellent communicators
- Fast contextual understanding
- Ownership-driven work ethic
“They’re not just task executors. They think like a part of the team, and that makes a big difference.”
In many cases, the output matched—and occasionally exceeded—the performance of U.S.-based hires.
The result? A higher-quality client experience, improved internal efficiency, and greater confidence in the agency’s ability to scale.
Seamless Integration Into SalesDesk’s Systems and Culture
Fast Onboarding & Cultural Alignment
The transition into SalesDesk’s internal ecosystem was smooth and fast from day one.
The new team members:
- Quickly learned the CRM
- Adopted reporting processes with precision
- Integrated into campaign workflows
- Communicated clearly with existing team members
- Showed professionalism and initiative from day one
Smith describes the experience as far more than a typical outsourcing relationship:
“It honestly felt less like onboarding an outsourced team and more like expanding our internal department.”
In other words, the new hires didn’t feel external—they felt like a natural extension of SalesDesk’s core team.
