Show Notes
Response rates on cold outreach have dropped to 0.02%. Sales teams are sending 70% more messages than ever.
And results are getting worse, not better.
In this episode, I break down why the "more volume" approach to sales outreach has hit a wall, and share what's filling pipeline right now instead.
You'll hear:
- Why your prospects spot automated outreach instantly, even when it mentions their name, company and latest LinkedIn post
- The real numbers: how 5 ultra human outreaches are outperforming thousands of automated messages
- How one of my clients hit a 30% response rate by going one to one
- Why salespeople who rely on automation are putting their careers at risk
- The simple maths behind booking 3 meetings a day in 90 minutes
- What driverless taxis in Phoenix taught me about the future of sales roles
If you're a salesperson, sales leader or business owner who feels like outreach is getting harder, this episode explains why and gives you the fix.
