I read a fascinating article about the response rates for a variety of outbound email prospecting techniques. The author, with a client, had tested 8 techniques to pitch their solutions. The response rates were anywhere between 0.29% and 1.25%. The sample sizes was 200K, which is significant. The argument the author was making was the technique that produced 1.25% was the best approach (which aligned with what they sold).

As buyers self-educate, marketing must meet their needs with meaningful content while highlighting true differentiators.

When you break the value of each day and even each minute down, it’s easier to realize how intentional time needs to be spent in order to hit quota.
