The State of Cold Sales Outreach

From Email to Phone to Social...We Ask The Blunt Questions

If you could be bold, abrasive, almost rude, and ask the leading sales experts -- for phone, email, and social -- the really hard and impolite questions...what would you ask?

We did exactly that ...no holds barred! Here’s just a teaser of what we put to our panel:

  • Leading sales trainer Victor Antonio will break down the harsh truths with modern-day cold calling — is it even relevant if people don’t answer their phones — and where he sees this discipline heading in 2022.
  • Sought after sales consultant Samantha McKenna - a top expert in sales emails and messaging - will address whether templates actually work and whether reps should abandon personalization in the pursuit of reach.
  • We’ll ask the LinkedIn Whisperer herself, Brynne Tillman, if LinkedIn is even relevant anymore and if bots are the best way to prospect despite the experts suggesting otherwise.

We hounded...we debated...we got the answers you wanted to know. Did we offend our experts in the process? 

Watch it now on-demand.
