How Poor Outbound Performance Management Will Affect Revenue in 2023 Continued… (Part 2/2 - The Dream Team)


Listen Later

This is Part 1 of 2 where Jake gives an introduction to the concept of Outbound Performance Management: what it is, why it’s important for sales and revenue leaders in 2023, and how to build the outbound performance management dream team. 

"Quick analogy for you. If Marketing spends $100K a month on ads, they will use 15-20% of that budget to optimize performance. At the same time, we're spending $100K on SDRs and only spending $4,000 or $5,000 a month on optimizing outbound performance. Why?"

This is why this topic is important. Let’s get into Part 2.

In this episode, Jake covers:

  • The types of data points that we're looking at (in tools like Outreach and Salesloft) are the highest-performing sequence, overall positive-reply sequence performance, highest-converting touchpoint, and highest-performing content. But unfortunately, today, it's still manual.
  • One of the most important things for us to change is mindset. Outbound is an ongoing optimization process. It is never a campaign. It is never a sprint or rebrand over six months, and then we're done.
  • Don't just look at what's performing now. Think about where the economy is headed, where your industry is headed, and start to put in place contingency sequences. 
  • The role of an SDR leader is evolving. If your org isn't hiring an agency to help you or a full-time person, then it's your job. You have to turn into your own performance person and look at setting up the data in the right way. 
  • This process should be 100% collaborative.
