What’s the secret behind B2B SaaS sales growth and how can outbound strategies be used to scale revenue efficiently? When it comes to growing a B2B SaaS company, not all sales leads are created equal. Inbound leads, those who find you through marketing efforts or referrals, already have some level of trust. They’ve seen your website, maybe read a blog post or two, and are at least familiar with your brand. Outbound leads, on the other hand, have no idea who you are. You’re reaching out to them cold, and they’re likely skeptical from the start. That’s why trust becomes your most important asset in outbound sales. In this episode of the Grow Your B2B SaaS Podcast, brought to you by SaaStock, Joey Gilkey, CEO of Titan X, explains that outbound sales require a different mindset. You're not just selling a product; you're building a relationship from zero. In outbound, your first impression matters more than ever. That process starts with establishing credibility right away. Without trust, even the best SaaS product won’t make it through the noise.
