We get asked what's actually working in outbound constantly, and specifically what works for companies that don't have a great brand. So we read the industry reports, more than 100 million emails worth of data, and traced every stat we could back to its original source. The surprising finding was how unreliable the data is.
In this episode, Eddie Reynolds and Rachael Bueckert go tactic by tactic through all six most common outbound strategies: targeted, warm signals, trigger based, third party intent, autonomous AI SDRs and spray and pray. You'll hear which one doubled reply rates, the templated LinkedIn message Eddie used to source millions in business, and the one signal he says he would spend his money on last.
