Today we talk about the cases when it doesn’t make sense for your company to do outbound marketing. We have seen a pattern where certain brands are more successful in outbound than others, so we are revisiting the topic that we’ve discussed a couple of years ago.

Jack’s Outbound Cons:

• Your product has a very long buying cycle
• It’s a “bleeding neck” problem
• You have a poor close rate
• You have offline audience on your radar
• You have week filters

Jeremy’s Outbound Cons:

• The price is too low
• The audience is not reachable by email
• Your audience is B2C
• You are in the part of the world where cold outreach is not legal
• You don’t have resources or you are not committed to the full sales cycle

However, keep in mind that if there is a will there's a way. We described some situations where cold email is not the best option unless you do something more creative with it. So, give it your best and happy cold emailing!
