The Evolution of Outbound Sales
Outbound sales tactics have undergone significant changes over the past decade, largely driven by advancements in technology and evolving market dynamics. Eight years ago, using tools like Outreach provided a competitive edge, as few understood how to effectively deploy such technology. Today, these tools have become standard practice, diminishing their effectiveness as fewer companies can gain a distinct advantage from simply using a sales sequencing tool. As tools become commonplace and competition increases, the current playbooks no longer deliver the same results, prompting sales leaders to reevaluate their strategies.
