I'm thrilled to have Dan Englander as our guest expert on this episode of Sell With Authority. Dan is the CEO and Founder of Sales Schema, a fractional new business team for marketing agencies. He's also the host of The Digital Agency Growth Podcast and the author of "Relationship Sales at Scale."

Dan's book perfectly captures one of the biggest challenges agency owners and their teams face when it comes to business development — how to open doors efficiently, build meaningful relationships, and fill your sales pipeline without getting bogged down by a slow, one-by-one approach.

How do you balance personalization with scale?

This is exactly where Dan shines.

"Building trust can be challenging, but the good news is that going in cold is no longer necessary. Your outreach does not have to summit a mountain but rather walk over a small hill — since the goal is not to build the trust needed to close a deal — but just enough to de-risk a conversation and create a relationship."

We dive into this core concept from his book — how balancing personalization and scale is not only possible, but essential.

What you will learn in this episode:

• How outbound marketing can fine-tune your overall marketing efforts
• Dan's approach to effective testing with smaller B2B sample sizes
• Why agency owners should offload tasks to build an effective outreach system
• The ideal team setup for outbound marketing
