There's a (rare) agreement forming on LinkedIn - โ€˜badโ€™ outbound is dead. But what does that mean? And how can we do good outbound? ๐Ÿ˜ข Bad Outbound: Focus on sheer volume, hoping to snag the rare few folks who might listen. It's like trying to smash a nut with a giant sledgehammer. The result? Poor deliverability. Loads of unsubscribes. ๐Ÿ’ฉ brand reputation. ๐Ÿ” The Challenge: Only 1-3% of your market is actively looking for a solution at any given time. So, whatโ€™s the best approach? ๐Ÿšซ Scorched Earth (Volume Approach): Unsustainable and damages your brand. (This is why AI SDRs are not the answer!) ๐Ÿ™‰ Signal-Based Prospecting: Everyone's chasing the same signals, making it a noisy, commoditised approach. ๐ŸŽข Inbound Only: Takes time and can be expensive, often missing those not actively searching. A Better Way: Educational Outbound (Value-Led Sales) Instead of abandoning outbound, adjust to the reality that >97% arenโ€™t ready to buy yet. Focus on educating your prospects. Teach them something uniquely interesting, offer valuable insights, and build trust. Why Educational Outbound Works: ๐Ÿ“ˆ Creates Demand: Inform your market about problems they might not be aware of. ๐Ÿค Builds Trust: Offer value, not just a sales pitch. Build versus burn your brand reputation ๐Ÿค‘ Long-Term Success: Stay front-of-mind for when theyโ€™re ready to buy. You'll be way ahead of those only reacting to signals everyone else can see too. At RevvedUp, we champion a buyer-centric approach, offering value-led prospecting that actually engages people. ๐Ÿพ Next Steps: Make more deposits than withdrawals. Improve your outbound quality, offer value, and stay relevant. If 97% arenโ€™t ready to buy, theyโ€™ll remember you when they are. Need help staying consistently relevant?
