B2B prospecting in France, done for you — with weekly proof
Veliade is a French team plus a prospecting machine that wins French B2B customers for international companies. We source French firms, identify the decision-makers, write and send the emails in native French, and our team calls from French phone numbers — GDPR-compliant. Every Monday you see the entire work: a three-numbers-first report and a live 24/7 portal. From €490/month (excl. VAT).
If you sell B2B and want to enter the French market from abroad, the hard part is rarely your offer — it is reaching French decision-makers the way they expect to be reached. Veliade runs that outreach as a subscription, in flawless French, and shows you the proof each week instead of asking you to trust a black box.
Why does prospecting France from abroad usually fail?
The French B2B market punishes shortcuts. Three things sink most foreign outbound campaigns:
- Language nuance. Machine-translated French reads as machine-translated French. Decision-makers spot it instantly and delete it. Tone, formality (the vous register) and business etiquette carry as much weight as the offer itself.
- Trust signals. A foreign number in the caller ID, a
.comfrom another timezone, an unfamiliar sender — each one lowers your reply rate. Local French phone numbers and native French-speaking callers change how prospects respond. - Data and consent rules. France has clear expectations around outreach. B2B cold email to professional contacts is legal on an opt-out basis when the message is relevant to the recipient's role, the sender is identifiable and unsubscribing is easy — that is the position of the CNIL, France's data-protection authority. GDPR still governs the personal data behind those contacts. Get the framing wrong and you burn your domain reputation, not just one campaign. (This is general information, not legal advice.)
Veliade exists so you do not have to solve any of this in a foreign language. A French team plus machine handles the market on the ground, and you keep doing what you do best.
What does Veliade execute every week?
The work is concrete and the same volume shows up in your portal each week. Every subscriber gets, at minimum:
- ~150 French companies sourced that match your target profile.
- ~80 decision-makers identified inside those companies.
- ~60 contacted per week — email plus LinkedIn — with replies triaged for you.
On higher tiers we add calls and SMS (team plus machine) with meetings booked straight into your calendar, then higher volume, A/B sequences and a written definition of a qualified meeting. It is outsourced B2B prospecting — but run in the open, not as a black box.
How do we prove the work? The proof pact
The category of "AI employees" and autonomous outbound tools disappointed a lot of buyers. Our answer is the opposite of a promise: we show you the raw work, every week.
- A Monday report, three numbers first: replies, meetings, and pipeline value created — then the detail.
- A 24/7 portal where you watch sourcing, contacts and replies in real time.
- Call recordings and transcripts on the Growth tier and above — you hear exactly what was said in your name.
- Pay only for the verifiable. On the Machine tier a disputed qualified meeting is reviewed against the recording within 48 hours; if it falls outside the written criteria, it is replaced and not billed.

How do you start?
Two paths, both simple:
- Subscribe online in about 20 minutes (Stripe or SEPA). Your campaign goes live within 48 hours, and your first report lands on day 7.
- Or book a 15-minute demo if you want to talk through your French target first — optional on First Customers, included from Growth up.
Honest framing, since it matters here: expect conversations in the first few weeks and a steady rhythm around month two or three. We bring you the conversations — closing remains yours.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with companies based outside France?
Yes. Veliade is built for international companies — US, UK, EU or anywhere — that want to win B2B customers in France. You keep your product, your pricing and your sales calls; we run the French-language prospecting on the ground: sourcing, decision-makers, emails and calls with French phone numbers. Onboarding and reporting are handled in English; the outreach to French prospects is written and spoken in native French.
Is cold email legal in France?
B2B cold email to professional contacts is permitted in France on an opt-out basis when the message is relevant to the recipient's role, the sender is identifiable, and an unsubscribe option is provided — this is the CNIL's position on business-to-business prospecting. Personal-data rules under the GDPR still apply. We prospect professional contacts only, keep every message relevant and honour opt-outs. This is general information, not legal advice.
Who writes the French copy?
Native French speakers on our team, based in France. The machine sources companies and decision-makers and drafts sequences; a French-speaking human reviews and adapts every message for tone and business etiquette, and our team makes the calls in French from French phone numbers. You never send machine-translated French to a French prospect.
What results should I expect, and when?
Honestly: conversations in the first few weeks, a steady rhythm around month two or three. Your first report lands on day 7. We bring you qualified conversations and, on the Machine tier, verified meetings — closing the deal remains yours. We show you the raw work every Monday rather than promising a fixed number of meetings.
