Outbound is exhausting. You're constantly dealing with rejection. Conversion rates are often putrid. People are pissed off when they do answer. Tough to stand out amidst all the noise. It's exhausting. But when you start to see pipeline and revenue climb, it's all worth it.

I used to think outbound sequences should be 20+ steps. That's no longer the case. Cognism analyzed 55k cold calls: - 75% of connections were on the 1st call - 95% within the first 3 calls to a prospect If you can't generate a convo after 3 emails + calls. Move on.

If you’re struggling with cold outreach, remember: ~ 50% of prospects won’t open emails ~ 85% of your convos won’t lead to meetings ~ 90% of your calls won't get answered ~ 98% of your prospects won’t reply Fear or giving up too soon is why most people fail.
