How Outbound Sales Can Beat Inbound Marketing

When putting together proper outbound prospecting plans it can be a little daunting trying to drum up leads at the same rate of inbound leads coming in. When inbound leads come in, they are further down the funnel, already in a buying stage, and have legit interest in exploring the products. When executing your outbound campaign, it can take a while to engage with these prospects and get multiple prospsects already into the funnel as “warm to hot” leads that are ready to have meetings or start the process of moving forward.

As targeted as it may be or as personalized as it is, the truth of the matter is that nobody wants to be sold to or pitched in 2017.

Saying that connecting with 5 people a day out of 300 dials is great and better than nothing. I am not going to go there in this particular article, as I stated before all systems work but if you are making 300 dials a day like its 1995 and not using social or inbounds methods, than you are going to need a reality check if you are in sales.

This has enabled BDR’s, SDR’s, and Demand Gen professionals to shove there company’s products down prospects throats by talking about their company and asking for a meeting without earning the right or showing much value.
